Right on, greenslvs2! This is about the 800th person who's said it was found. I refuse to believe it. I will be out there after work, hacking away at the snow and ice.

Drove by CP on lunch break. Lots of people searching. I have my own theory on where they should be.

AMD- Cheryl said that they hadn't plowed them cause its the block club's responsiblity.

deb: it really hard to see the stack or the church from any where in cp

what is all this path talk

AMD

If that's true than it wouldn't be sitting on the path. The person who actually hides it wouldnt have known that the path wasn't going to be plowed?

You can see the stack and the church from the batrooms. Closest to the street. You can also see the 777 address on the side of the bathrooms (lucky).

I think that the large object in view is the cathedral, and that is all that they are revealing. The code that has to be cracked is the mode/demo thing , the dome of the cathedral. If you get that you find out about the cathedral.

AMD I `m not ridiculing your question. I agree with you .We no the block club does not take care of state property.I do believe there are people whose job it is to watch to see if anyone finds it.

what path is not plowed and are you sure that it was not plowed last year

Indian "Mounds" Park is Indian Mounds Park. Cherokee or ChairOKey is Cherokee park. They are 2 different parks on different sides of the river. Most veterans of the hunt feel that Mounds Park is forever off-limits to the medallion since it started troubles awhile back when it was hidden there and medallion hunters were "Traipsing" all over sacred indian land. Thats why Mound is shunned.

Here, here Pugsley. The clues usually only reveal one piece of information. The large object IS the Cathedral dome and you can see it plain as day from CP.

What I wanna know is why is anybody here talking? If you figure a clue out, keep it to yourself, don't let somebody who stays on the web 24/7 win the medallion!

B.J. Mack

Deb, why do you think it's in "the other end" of the park? What about the clue that says the medallion is "near a line of double division."?

Don't you think that means it's near Annapolis?

Right, Shovelboy, I think it's near the sledding hill, which is also near the "line of double division." Wasn't Deb saying she thinks it's in the other end of the park, nearer to the High Bridge?

Water-boy are you one of those who just sits and listens.If someone`s on here they are obviosly not digging so how are they going to find it??????

Could fore mean the front of CP. The North East end of the park has not been dug up much.

Could race, pace, runs refer to a jogging path?? Does anybody know of a jogging path by CP??

Matt, if everyone kept their ideas to themselves, there wouldn't be need for a water cooler. we're here to get help from one another. It makes it fun.

djs - the large object is the Cathedral dome. The first part of clue 4 says a large object. then the rest of the clue makes you figure out what that object is - the dome.

Over right by Annapolis can anyone see the Cathedral???

There is a jogging path that runs all the way along the road (forget the name) but the road that is closest to the bathroom. I dug up about 20 feet of the path yesterday. Boy that was fun.

there is only one spot where no one has looked, and thats where the medallion is. but where is that one spot. CP is a very wide park. It seems like the park is seperated.

Deb Speidel

near annapolis is cp in general, i think the smoke stack and the cathedral are to your back when facing the bathrooms per clue 6
