Cheryl! Hello again!

Have you been out digging? We've been trying to find people we know and have seen some and missed some.

Haven't been out the last two days, but am planning to do so tonight.

Planning to head out to the one you left earlier. Are you heading back?

FOOLED YA

Conway is a fraud and everybody should realize it and get their, smelly, sweaty, blistered bodies outa there so I can get some sleep.

To my followers:....I will find it and when I do we're going to MEXICO for three weeks!!!!!!!!!! When we get there we'll raise a toast to all of you non-believers and

we'll say hey "how's it going" while you guys are still walking around in a stupor at highland and como diggin your lives away.

It reminds me of the japs who were out on islands and didn't believe the war was over 2 years after it was!!!!!!!!

We connected! It worked out great!! We'll be out there for the 11:30 clue. Somehow we'll get the clue out there as opposed to waiting for it here.

GOOD LUCK!

In clue# 9, Orient is used, definitions refer to the east side. Does the sign on the corner of Wilson and Ruth say Park on it?

Terry

I'm not sure yet how we'll get it. I'm hoping to meet up with someone with a cell phone. But...if there's a will, there's a way.

New Daddy said he'd be out there tonight if I remember correctly. I haven't run into him yet at the park...we seem to be missing each other.

Terry, are you and hubby going or some other combo? Is Green digging too?

For those insisting on Como, think Perry Como and Nathaniel Perry (I believe that's the comedian's name).

Terry, I have a cell phone, perhaps we can connect <g>

I am still at work but am planning on leaving shortly.

What do you think?

Me, hubby, Eags (Eagle Eye), E & H's Mom and Dad...don't know if Green will venture back out or not. She was out there today. I know Dave Young is out there

unless he had to go into work.

I don't mean to be rude, but once again, the clue says that the name of the park is the crooner's first name and the funnyman's last. Where is Perry Park? It has to be

Conway!

I've been reading your comments for the past few days now and I'm wondering if it really isn't at Conway. What's round and white....I dro ve by the Battle Creek

Park and there is a pavilion with a ROUND top and it "looks" like it could be stretched tight....that clue also indicates that it is a COVER, not CONTAINER. What

do you guys think??

I was out between noon and 3pm. Mainly at the football sled. Dug up everything around it. Still believe it's Conway? How about what the sign at Wilson and Ruth

says?

Cheryl - I don't have the number anymore.

Sethmon - I am favoring the area around Conway and Ruth. That is at least until tonight's clue which can change that perspective in a heartbeat.

Note: The medallion is not hidden on public grounds whose name is not followed by the word "Park." Really.

Maybe its not at Conway??

Hi Tim!

The park is conway. Now we just have to be the lucky shoveler, and we will have the med in our pocket.

Well, if you guys all want to go early, we can probably be there early too. Ittiz you got my number?!

Can you see the downtown skyline from conway?

Comet- Round and white is what the medallion is hidden in at CONWAY.

Nope...can't see the downtown skyline.

Mom - Early is okay too. How's your headache? Any better? Parking is at a premium...but maybe if we get there before the clue, we will have better luck. What

time you thinking?

Comet - I looked up Quarry - it can also be used as a derivative of Quarrel - which references arrows - I don't want to start this debate again, but Conway is too

small for it to not have been found....

Did any of you see the message that was posted yesterday that the medallion had been found? I was mad this morning when I found out it wasn't true!! I was at

Conway earlier and if you go to the sidewalk you can see the water tower, 3m sign and the true value hardware sign.

Probably not earlier than 11:00.

Does the sign at the corner of Wilson and Ruth title Conway as a park?

There is going to be a lot of med hunters tonight. Think we should get there as early as possible to find a parking spot.

Tue, 02/02/1999 - 7:07 PM Permalink
Terry

Tim - there have been many theories about the 954 connection. Those numbers being such an early clue have been a mystery since the beginning. If you slog back

maybe the past 50 - 100 posts, you're sure to see some reference again to those numbers.

No, the sign at Conway says Conway Recreation Center

Terry, I am still at work. Will pick up e-mail from home and perhaps organize the logistics. What do you think?
