Cheryl - You're right. My book for some reason shows the whole "green" area as CP...

Sean C. - I think an abortion clinic is a little too controversial to have in a clue.

in clue #1 (this is probably wrong) but they say "wasting" your time at the wrong scene. Maybe it's by a garbage can or in some litter or something.

Yes! DM take 94 east to McKnight then go south or right to the first stop sign that has a Afton (upper or lower) head west or right and its on the left hand side.

McNight by the way is the man of fame.

Cheryl - East. Seemed this time last year we were all certain it was CP. We were just waiting for more clues to narrow down the park. I was thinking so far

Linwood or Merriam.

Alan and Jill- Do you think you're actually contributing something? You're being just as bad as any of the insults going back and forth here.

For as hard as these clues are don't you think they were written before Jesse was elected? They knew the 150 anniversary was this year and I think making the clues

hard was more important than involving our newly elected gov. Don't read toooooo much into it. Good Luck and Happy Hunting!!!

Allie-GO, what did she do to get arrested? Did she mess up the Park? Man, we all need to be careful out there or MOM P will cancel the Hunt!!!!!

Well, she was standing on that main street on Montreal behind her car with her hands up behind her head. Looked like she was getting cuffed.
