Try to read the previous clues. Yes, there is a water tower at Conway. Conway is located by Woodbury. Jim, what did you see at Conway? Does Newell has a

water tower? Don't remember seeing one yesterday when I was there?

Could water on high be waterfalls at Hidden Falls? It is near the airport as well......

Jim- Midway Stadium & park-ing lot

Balloons come in different sizes. And further adding to that thought, my next thinking is they probably filled the balloon with water and place the medallion inside it

and then froze it. Not filling the balloon a lot with water just a little to freeze the medallion.

Lindsay- From Conway Park you can see a water tower. Take I94 east to ruth st and then take a left at the stop light. It will be your right hand side

Does anyone have any ideas on how the translucent peak fits in at Highland?

Pam Christiansen

they usally put it in a place like 2 feet to the east of 2nd base or halfway between1st and 2nd base or to that effect

no regalman...conway seems to fit all...the peak could be the 3M bldg it lights up at night... also number adorns the door could be the 3 ... :) too bad about

Merriam... was so sure... haha!

Oh, it's at Conway allright. It all adds up. If you haven't checked it out yet, go there! Look at the translucent peaks and you'll be convinced just like I was. It has to

be it. It all adds up. (To me, anyway...)

Jim..Newell has three picnic shelters that have a piramid shaped roof on them....I did not see a water tower either. Did you see the tree that is shaped like a 4?

For you new people, check out the CoolerCrew web site. It lists previous sites and well as the clues. It has never been at Conway. This would be the first year,

therefore, breaking tradition.
