Folks, I'll just toss this out - and for crying OUT LOUD!!! Don't stone me over it!!! I've never professed to be a rocket scientest, OTAY????

At BC, on the warming house door izz the letter "E" - that's the 5th (5) letter o'the 'bet...

And damn near directly across from that on Winthrop izz #54 - (5, 4), and just to muddy things up even more, that adds up to 9. The school izz bearing down on the

goal (goal) post o' the outdoor hockey rink, and the basketball court (9, again) izz rite there.

Yust thought I'd mention all that since (well, I've *not* read the last damn near 450 messages...) ittiz not been mentioned bee4...

All the clues add up, but this last one, unless I'm like (as usual!!!) totally clueless and in the dark!!!

Guess I'll go hang out at The Frog Pond... (sigh)

Terry

I'll let you know Radar...as soon as the next clue comes out and gets noodled. If I were to choose right now, I'd head for the capitol mall, but as the old saying

goes....I have the perogative to change my mind. LOL!!!!!!

We just got back from Newell and Merriam. Newell is ajoke. No way. Merriam is getting dug up good. Still can't figure out the trees in a line connected to there.

Any thoughts we may have missed?

Central Park? In Roseville!?!?!?!?!

AT BC TODAY NOT MANY DIGGERS,WHAT ABOUT MER STILL SOUNDING GOOD

Oh you didn't know?

I visited damn near every park in the city today and can stretch the clues to fit almost every single one. Iconoclast is the key, but how? Is it a park that has not been

used before (i.e. Marriam or Conway), is it a park with a new activity (i.e. BC), is it a new way to decipher the clues (i.e. anagrams will be misleading/useless), or

could it be that it is not buried in the snow (i.e. attached to a tree or sign). The only parks I have ruled out are Newell, Como, and Phalen unless one of the next clues

sends me back.

I do know that this is the most confused I have ever been this far in.

Mushie... Still think it's BC or HP... not a small park never before tried... but that is my opinion!!!!

Green - Not a Woodrow to my knowledge, but there is a Wilson on the East Side that runs into the Conway park that people have mentioned.

why were people talking about Devil's Den last night?

Sat, 01/30/1999 - 9:51 PM Permalink
Terry

I think it was in relation to the ultimate iconoclast - the devil.

Newell is my hunch still. not many people there , but so many clues fit there.
