Regarding the tome clue, sorry to disappoint those of you at B.C., but Longfellow is also a school adjacent to Merriam Park.

snowy, it seems to me you asked why not Newell. I told you why I didn't think so. Can you tell me what I said that was incorrect? As I said, go ahead and keep

digging there.

If you don't want an answer, don't ask.

Exactly right. 9-5-4 does not help find specific park.

Actually I did see the peak at HP too, but me and my hunting partners didn't think much of it...

Tome is just a word for book that rhymes with home. The important part of the clue is "A man of fame offers a useful name." That would have to be Henry Hudson

as what treasure hunter would be without their Hudson guide? Old Hudson Rd. is one block south of Conway.

I'm still at Conway Medallion Kid. That's the spot. Mike Armstrong, I remember one of the early clues last year (the Rosebud clue) was about sledding. But was

that to narrow down the park, or was it to tell you that the medallion was near the sledding hill, or maybe both. I think its possible the 9,5,4 may narrow down the

site, though I don't mean to imply I disagree with you. Its just that I have all the rest figured out but that one, and I was hoping it would tell me where to dig.
