Treasure Digger

A park is never done over. The medallion has to be dug over at least 7 or 8 times before it's actually found. If you were at Cherokee last year, it was dug over and

no unturned snow. The clues for Conway -- Library right on the park, all the out door attraction games you can pretty much have (basketball, baseball/softball,

tennis, soccer, hockey, ice skating), trees in a line (Woodrow "Wilson" Street, Ruth - a section of many volumes (Bible), iconoclast - break the tradition and have a

new park, 9, 5 & 4 (players: basketball 5, football 9, tennis 4), shouting at all the games, and of course, signs on all the baseball fences that state "No golfing" What

have I left out???

I'm thinking Highland now. Trees in a line: MonTREEal, HamLINE Maybe at the corner of Montreal and Hamline? Water tower on high, red light on the tower? 9

hole golf course? Par 4 and 5's? Don't disturb the fairways and greens...Famous man maybe Ford?

Can you see the 1st bank sign from Highland?

Sun, 01/31/1999 - 11:43 PM Permalink
Treasure Digger

Oh, I left out the fact of the translucent peak is the Sun Ray mall has 2 glass peak roofs that are very visible at the Conway Park. The streets are Conway, Wilson,

Ruth, and some others that I can't quite think of right now. It isn't in the Hudson book, so you'll have to look it up on Map Blast or Map Quest. It used to be a park

for 3M but they gave it to the city. Oh, there's also a Community Center there. A small sliding hill to the east, a little bit bigger than Cherokee was last year and a

playground. A lot of new renovations has also been going on there. Heard that from a gentleman who lives 2 blocks away from the park. How's that for information?

Black bart...almost done! not digging tonight. I'm not sure, i'm thinking highland or conway, but I've never been to conway in my whole life so I don't know what it

looks like...how about you?

Yes that is true, but that's ok because I remember you said that you are going to give me some money after you find it.

It seems you people are ignoring the evidence. Is anyone at all interested in why people think it's at the Capital?

Treasure Digger

My guess that the white stretched object is a balloon. But if it's not that, I can almost guarantee something white. Not sure of the baseball theory. Think the ball

would be too big and easily found.
