I haven't gone looking in Conway, yet. I was positive it was in HP, until today's clue, now I know it's not. Now, I've got to deal with the dumbasses that haven't

been keeping up with all that's been posted. Well, I guess that's how it goes.

Im thinking the east side of the park but I'm not sure near what you can't see the peaks on the some parts of the west side

Does anyone still agree that it could be in a balloon??? I was thinking, a deflated balloon hanging in a tree. After all, they have those "miner days" in that park every

year????

think it is in a condom

I have been wondering about that clue myself "Round and shite and stretched quite tight" Any other ideas on what that could mean??

Grandma honeybearrr

ravl...what are "miner days"...this year I believe that anything is possible!

oops I meant "Round and white..." not "Round and shite..."

hi all just got back from Conway with my five year old. He is having a great time with this! What chaos at the park though. I'm not able to figure that 9 5 4 thing. I'm

not convinced it is the numbers of players for different sports teams. I think that is stretching it. I bet its something much simpler. But what? I think that could help

alot.

"Miner Days" is just a festival that they have in that park every year. I use to work at Eastern Heights Bank, and we sponsored the event. I was just thinking, that it

might be over looked, you know how you find deflated balloons after these festival things. Am I grasping??????????

The 95and 4 will tell us a more precise location of the medallion. Why would we shout??? Hello the MEDALLION. Anyone else care to collaborate??

Miner Days = Quarry???

RAIDER I agree. I think the 9 5 4 may somehow pinpoint the location or at the very least give us a smaller vicinity in which to look. Been searching that park though

for anything to relate to 9 5 4 but no luck.

Like I said, I may just be grasping, but that is what I thought of when I read, the "round and white, and stretched quite tight",,I am really getting frustrated with two

clues....9-5-4 and round and white..HELP!!!!!! How to deal with the stress!!!!

Good one Rush!

Only thing I can think of regarding 954 is there is a skinny brown post by the football sled with the number 4,5, 6 bottom to top. Reverse the 6 and you have a

nine... this is probably stretching it, but only thing i can think of.

Is there some sort of a sand box or childrens play area where it could be buried in the sand???

wasn't there something about the addresses at in that area being aroung 954?

Tue, 02/02/1999 - 2:18 PM Permalink

There is that pay-area, where they have those chair things that have the shovels, the kids can dig, but I was there yesterday, and nothing, that poor area is probably

gone by now!!!

Ravi The round and white and stretched wuite tight could be anything. I think it doesn't really matter because if it refers to what its wrapped in, of course you are

goiing to pick up and investigate ANYTHING you come across while digging. I think if we could figure the nine five four we'd be onto something don't you?

Tue, 02/02/1999 - 2:19 PM Permalink

doesn't anyone think it is in a baseball or softball- round and white leather strecthed tight

Someone said the library had the hours 9-5 M-F and 9-4 Sat didn't they

could it be in an icicle? transluscent peak? a stretch??

I was trying to count groups of trees and we looked on many a post and pole and found numbers but none fit quite right.

I was at Conway Park earlier in the day. Be careful all you honest hunters. I witnessed a man kick the passenger window of a truck to gain entry, then spen away

with a purse or something. It was parked on the corner of Ruth and Wilson. BE CAUTIOUS--there's thieves working the vehicles as you hunt!!!

Tue, 02/02/1999 - 2:20 PM Permalink

I think that the nine five four has to do with an address of a house that is on Ruth facing the park. I think that you have to stand so that you can see everything ( water

tower, 3m, sunray, and numbers on the house) Sound logical????

459 is an address on Ruth Street, from what I've heard. Don't know how that fits into the hunt though. Since it was early on - clue 3 - it was probably just a way to

narrow down which park it's in.

Why is it not by the coner of RUTH and CONWAY by the baseball diamond (tome is also a diamond shaped item)?

I really really like the ballon idea...or a wadded up piece of paper...or a piece of material (I'm a sewer) rolled around the medallion ... or an old white cap...or a

globe on a light post...or white elastic rolled around the madallion...or a bra...or a piece of white leather...or a roll of toilet paper... or just about anything white with a

little give to it. How about the #'s

There is an adress that has a 59 in it. 2059 conway. Adresses close by have 4s in them.
