Oh, I'm grasping at anything now. I was just thinking about the words Lucky on from clue one. But I do think chairman might refer to a handicap sign maybe a sign on a door.

some say the large object is that big rock in the park I don't know if that's it but it's the only thing I can come up with unless it means the cathedrel(sp)

Large object was clue 4 and alot of people believe the code is referring to demo/mode=dome. So if that's true then I would think the large object is a dome,.. cathedral or capital.

we checked all the doors maybe a street sign

Raven.. The commitee reference and the door reference in #9 means "chair" and "key" which is chair o key......

777 is on the back door of bldg. with the three pyramids but what is immeasurable saying?

immesurable is something that keeps going? don't really know

Mon, 02/02/1998 - 3:52 AM Permalink

Immeasurable probably means nothing but if it does i think it may refer to Citizen Kane a la Rosebud (possibly a large mansion in the area??).... see my idea about rosebud on the page or 2 b4 this one.....

Well I'm probably wrong and usually am but I don't like the chair-o-key theory. I've heard it a few times tonight. That would only

tell us the park and all the clues have lead us there since day two. So I dunno..

nathan what do you mean by SNOW DOME? OTHER THAN THAT ONE THEY ALL MAKE PERFECT SENSE. GOOD THINKING, ANY OTHER IDEAS

any protests "objections" happening in veiw of cp lately?

Well,, I think everything points to cherokee too. Looking at other ideas on tonights clue does not mean ya gotta go to a different park. But then again if it's in cherokee (which is where I was digging at 12:00am) then I dunno where.. So, if ya say hey we gotta at least consider some other possibilities or we could miss it all together.

people read into these too much i think.... of course there is usually one or 2 deep meanings in all of the clues but this late in the game its just luck....

Snow Dome-----> when Kane drops the snowdome/globe at the beginning of the film while he mutters "Rosebud" which every1 in the film tries to figure out... You've seen Citizen Kane right???

It's over some lucky person has found it. Just got back from Cherokee and a policeman was announcing it over his loud speaker. This really stinks considering I thought this would be my luck year. On the way home, I drove by the Pioneer Press building thinking maybe the policeman had some bad information but that dang sign that get's me every year said the medallion had been found and to look for explanations to the clues in the mornings paper. Well, off to bed now as depressed as ever.

My husband drove by the pioneer press at 5:00, the sign said the medallion has NOT been found. Why are all these people lying, saying they found the medallion? Do they think everyone will believe them, give up & go home so they have the whole park to themselves?

So which park is it in now 101dj101?
