So let me see, since the board say officially it hasn't been found at 3:00pm you mean to tell me you found it and went to the planet just after three, waited to talk to

the right person, did your interview, had a celebratory meal, and then came home to post on the internet immediatly for us before they did, awwwww you sweet

Idiot!

Yeah, right, Brian, and your e-mail address is "hot-mail", right? Just like you or some other jerk tried to do the other night.

Hello All!

Back from Conway after a few hours of pondering and digging. There is lots of places that are walked on...but not dug yet. Most of the park has compacted snow

now so the digging is tough. With new snow tonight, it will be tough to figure out dug vs. not dug areas.

Going to get a nap, some dinner and get ready for the next clue. We'll be out there. It's gotta be there somewhere.

Do you think that you should only be able to see 1 peak at the site since peak was not plural in the clue??

No, but one would figure it would be time to celebrate after finding it, not a time to come home and sit at the computer.

Say New Daddy, thats the arguement myself and my group have been having for the past 3 days, I say just ONE for sure, they are usually quite precise on things

like that. But ya never know.

New Daddy - I keep missing you! Hope to run into you in the park before this is over. The clue says peak...not peaks. But also note the peak of the rec center bldg.

That may be the one as opposed to the Sun Ray ones.

I think the 954 thing is just saying that it is between 94 and Hwy 5 since it is so early in the clues. Just giving general area

Everyone should remember that until usually the second-to-last clue, all the clues are "global" -- they just refer to the park, not where in the park.

Last year the second-to-last clue put you between Yellowstone and Sugarloaf streets. Was anyone there at 11:00 p.m. last year?

I hear the Twin Cities has a lot of snow this year, so it's possible it will go to the last clue, especially if the medallion's wrapped in a white balloon.

We'll be out about 11:30 or shortly after. I have to work tomorrow. :( But there's always a chance it will go to the wire and we'll get a chance again tomorrow night

and Thursday.

Last year it was hidden between a pair of trees, and on one of the trees was spraypainted "crack." Remember the early clue that said "crack the code." Duh!
