If you look on the south side of Mounds, the railroad tracks split from two into four.

Remember, not all of Mounds is on the bluff.

Mr. Feeman, Did you go down to The PPress already? If not you should call them and confirm the discovery before they release the clue tonight. It's not cool to hold out and watch people dig in viegn.

AirBourn,

OK, Cherokee, Crosby Farm, Hidden Falls, Phalen and Battle Creek border the city line. But Cherokee is the only one I see that also borders a county line. Am I missing something?

Still sticking with Cherokee. Too many other pointers.

Time's getting short.

Limb time:

Do Water, Woods and Annapolis go anywhere near Harriet Island?

Sorry buddy freeman, If I found it I wouldn't be sitting around waiting until the morning to cash in. And why bother coming on here and telling us if your uncles can't even bring it to the PP. I must laugh at you sir.

greenslvs2,

OK, Annapolis runs down near Baker Rec Center and Belvedere Park. Both of these are pretty small however. Have you been to Baker? Could fit some clues....

The signs I saw at Cherokee said Department rather than Division.

The signs at Mounds had Division, but I'm not supporting that theory for at least another 10 minutes

Was at Baker an hour ago. Noone else was there. Couldn't find a division (unless school and community center might qualify since both are there), however no 3 pyramids.

Also, went through CP at ~10:30, half a dozen people or so.....

Mr Feeman alias mr fee does not have it. Look at his email address. He is probably either Joe Medallion or a lame copycat. Or as my wife thinks, a Vikings Coach. 24 hours ago he didn't know where to look. Now he says he found it. In Newell I bet. Or the Frog Pond.

Don't waste your efforts with mr freeloader, he's a fake.

We all know it's in the coin collection box of a Pepsi machine at a Pump-n-Munch just south of Kansas City....

Rob Norris,

Arn't you the guy who claims to have the source at the PP? I thought you were telling us it IS in Cherokee?

Let's cut the crap and have fun looking for the damn thing...

Picture this: A man creates a bogus secret email identity in order to anonymusly ridicule hard working diggers without fear of retribution. What this man did not remember, however, is that his name and hometown are broadcast among several avenues. Since these hard working diggers have readily access to phone books, the man has just entered: The Nit-Wit Zone

Hey Mr Freeman

If you really found it...tell us the name of the person you talked to at the paper...Being a past finder I know who needs to ok it.

Fess UP!

Nice try you lying sack of feeman matter. If you claimed the prize at the address you said, you did not get the money from the paper. Plus, the paper only awards $3000, with the rest coming from the Carnival. Nice try you lame juvey.

Doubles: Remember I've always said TWO domes - Civic Center and Capital, and Mother Lode = Cathedral. Also, "mother" is an anagram for thermal....

Too, everybody is missing "soon be back" and "place to play can make any winter more pleasureable" - a double meaning - being Civic Center. Tho, it's like three times said... Oh, well.

And... remember 112? Adds up to four. Four "divided" by 2 = 2 (double [two twice] division????

Well.. Two years ago it was at Harriet Island. Two (god, how I'm getting to hate that number!) Plus, in the clues for 1996, they use "dough" and "mother lode" AND "pleasure".

Reaching???? And what's the Harriet Bandshell made out of??? Could it be rose quartz?????
