Does anyone think it is at Mounds and the three pyramids is the swingset? Rose bud could either mean Thorne Street or by a rosebush.

The pyramids are the picnic shelters, they are pyramids above the snow!

No, I think silver. Also lines of double division could be the sign for Division of Parks and Recs.

is Cherokee considered a sledding place? I was there and it seemed wimpy for that.

I think the pyramids are more obvious at Cherokee than at Mounds. There were alot of people at Cherokee today. How many people were at Mounds today?

I fugured "rosebu" meant sled because when kids go sledding they "zoom". Also, rosebud is a noun "a" rosebud could still give pleasure, like sledding fun.

It has to be at Cherokee the pyrmids are to perfect with the smoke

stack as the main thing you see and the double division anapolis ST

divides the city and county lines.Also the sliding hill

There were a lot of people at Mounds today. But most of the park is already dug up.

Spence, WHAT sliding hill? I'm still trying to figure that out. Is this the hill to the right of the 'pyramids'?

Is there a construction site in view at Cherokee?

As I was reading the clues from last year it seemed pretty clear that

the park was obvious by the 4th clue! Plus streets were named and

the general area of where to look once in the park by the 8th clue.

We have to assume that with the clues that we have, they have givin

us the park plus a street name...now, lets figure it out.

joe, not that I saw. why do you ask?

reason I was askin' was that "demo" could be demo-lition, and the large object could be a crane (w/ wrecking ball).

no it is the hill by anapolis st it has been used as a sliding hill

for over 30 years and it is wimpy.

where in the park james?

In the fifth? clue it mentions we have to "crack the code" I think

that there is more to crack than that clue it's self. Its

possible that the clues after that one has "codes" and thats how

we pinpoint our park.????

have any of u come to think that it might not be in the snow. In '90 or somewhere around that it was at Highland park, in a log type thing, hanging in a tree. Oh ya by the way, way back in the park of mounds are 3 shaped pyramids that u can see down the hill about 20 feet. To me i think that it is there. what do all of u think?

All of u r talkin about how "Rosebud" is a sled. To me the medallion is hidden in a altoid box or in a little sled key chain. And all of u r saying kids zooming is to be meant by sledding? I highly doubt it. Maybe kids zooming could be refering to a street by mounds called "Childs Road"?

Yeah, I'm looking at a map here, ya know. And I seen lots of parks, but ders only one.

clue 3 points to sledding thats easy to figure out and the double division has to with some reference near the treasure maybe a side walk or something.

I was out and about earlier today... At that time, there looked to be a few more people at Cherokee than at Mounds... I don't want to believe it is at Cherokee, but checked it out anyway. Got out of the van at Cherokee and walked around a bit (with shovels in hand) to see what we could see... We happened upon a spot where we were surrounded on all sides by the clues... Until the next clue comes out, I guess I would have to say Cherokee...

Kollin>> Sounds most Logical, but the medallion is more probably in Mounds.

I'll look on monday between 10 and 1 tommorrow afternoon.... i have yet to be out to actually look at the 2 parks and compare em... mounds is so big though

This is the last time im saying this. way pack in the park of mounds is a big hill going down. you can see a lot from there. Including a hotel called the "three pyramids"? just a guess but thats where i think the medallion is.

think the code to be cracked (i.e.... mode,demo=dome) will be used on tonites clue or maybe its already surfaced in one of the others but i havent found anything in the previous ones resembling that....
