Good morning everyone... So I guess NP is ruled out, much to my dismay as I spent many an hour there. OK so sifting through the archives I feel that Merrian

(Webster), and Linwood are now good possibilities. My question is whether anyone knows of a translucent peak that would fit to clue 8 at either of those places?

Thanks in advance for any help. :)

A peak and a dome are two different things...they say peak, so shouldn't it be a pointy thing?

As for the glowing translucent peak...are there any buildings that are lit up at night, like the Capitol or the Cathedral that you can see from a park?

just FYI, i thought i read somewhere that the medallion this year was actually blue, and more like a chip than a puck...did anyone else read that or am i making it up?

the locals, they get pissed at medallion finders for tearing up the parks and for ruining the environment at the winter carnival.
