Look back at my previous posts I told you people it is aMID the snow and ice meaning in the middle of the frozen planes and that is the tennis courts!! like where

the net might be if it was up or line up your search and work outwards from the courts towards the water tower staying in the middle of the tennis courts

Someone mentioned earlier...ballfields = baseball = minnesota twins = twice. What do you think?

Pie I was wondering the same thing. I have the paper right in front of me and it says 'two frozen PLACES of equal size!

The middle of the tennis courst had a clearing about three feet wide that was dug up all along the place where the net would be.

just returned from the Conway Zoo.. what a mess!.. I am thinking that the two planes could be the hockey arena area.. there were too many people in

between the fields to stake your claim.. are others thinking it may be somewhere else?

BALLFIELDS, IF YOU X THEM YOU WILL HAVE A POINT WHERE THE LINES CROSS, THATS WHERE THE MED IS

maybe the seeing twice is telling you to redig.. perhaps it was missed in the first pass.

I think you are on to something with those signs. Where were they located? I remember the year it was at hidden falls found in the diaper, the last clue was about a

sign and the medalion was found right by there.

I DON`T THINK ITS THE ICERINKS. THEY ARE NOT EQUAL PLANES THEY ARE DIFFERENT SIZES

perhaps you think 9 5 and somewhere a 4 are those but it just refers to the baseball basketball courts being at Conway and 94 is the hiway that adorns the front

door of the park

the term Iconoclast refers to one who goes against the grain. I have been diggin at Conway since friday night when all others said it was in a BIG park those people

were the followers....being an Iconoclast means going where it has never been before which is Conway moron

Usually you do. Last year if you were not in the right spot, not able to see the clues, you were off by about 50+ feet...if my failing memory serves me.
