Disagree - Susie's guess is not a stretch!! The only stretch out there is this Devil's Den theory!! Who the heck knows of Devils Den? Unless you live or lived in the

area - its nonexistent!

Susie- I agree with Pinehurst as well. Doesn't Pinehurst pick up on the other side of highland park near the hockey arena?? Can't remember since I am living in

Dallas now. Wish I was there to hunt!!

Rock - I'm saying according to your theory, the clues are based on Devils Den (your ideas on tome, iconoclast, etc.). Devils Den is not the name of the park - its an

assumed name for part of the park. Not everyone knows this. Maybe its at NP, but they wouldn't base the clues on DD.

Huntingforit- I was not referring to you so do not get so uptight! And by the way, unlike the name applies I am not a kid and I am POSITIVE that I have more

education than you do so please take your hostility elsewhere. I am here to share ideas, not fight. Thank You.

I have a good Feeling That none of you people will find it. You are all greedy and very unfriendly... Just over this medallion! It sucks when greed takes over, The fun

is lost. Zero signaled.

could it be that Josiah Snelling (Ave.) and Henry Ford (Pkwy.) are the icons and we are supposed to be iconocalsts and turn our back on them. Meaning to go

away from that intersection at HP..... that intersection is also near the sledding hill which we are supposed to stay away from. Clue 1 also mentions a scene and being

caught. There is a police station at HP. Also lots of game and sports references... HP has football, tennis, golf, baseball, etc.but how do the 9 5 4 fit into HP?????

Also learning and education - HP Senior High is right there

SISTER SISTER, THE REASON WHY THE CLUES ARE TALKING ABOUT DEVILS DEN IS BECAUSE IT'S THE HARDEST PLACE TO FIND IN

THE WHOLE PARK AND THEY WOULD RELATE TO IT BECAUSE BARELY NOBODY HAS HEARD OF THIS BESIDES US!!!

Trees in a line - how about consecutive streets named after trees that run into a park?

I kind of like the tree name streets in a line idea at HP. I was rooting for Newell but now I don't know...... If it is at Newell I hope that The Rock et al. find it tonight.

Good luck guys/gals!
