Translucent means transmittinglight but diffusing it sufficiently to cause images to become blurred.

Ittiz - You go dig up the frog pond....I'm headed to the capitol mall. Anyone see some white earmuffs down there....they're mine! Lost them a few years back!!!!!!!

Round and White is the hiding wrapper - how about a baseball with a slot cut in it for the puck to take refuge in????

Capitol Dome - glowing (translucent?)

Highland - old water tower, glowing steeple of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church?

Phalen - glowing steeple of Gustavus Adolphus Lutheran Church

Any other ideas???

a glowing peak could very well be a churches' steeple because many of them are lit

Terry and Grannie 2, did you get my EMail narrowing it down from Highland, Capitol and Phalen to the obvious place????

(Kidding - I share all of my thoughts and expect others to do the same...)

Linwood- doesn't the cross that comes up out of the sky at SAINT FRANCIS church glow at night(and can be seen from Linwood by park bench), or am I wrong?

Don't forget first letter of each clue-still on the way to spelling out SAINT FR----S!!! Woo Hoo!!

Linwood Sounds Good

Triangle Park was built in 1996 and is new. Remember, out with "old (park) in with the "new"(park) Newell was too obvious! So I would say:

1. Triangle Park 2. Linwood Park

Triangle Park is near Linwood about half a mile away. It is not listed with the directory (maybe because it's new) but AT&T "00" INFO confirmed where it was

located. I called about 2 hours ago. Triangle Park goes with clue 8. The "Transclucent" part. WHAT DOES EVERYONE THINK????????
