It is not at Battle Creek this year. The only thing that points to it is the "flying downhill" deal other than that- it really doesn't hold up as well as newell and Highland. In the Coolercrew website didn't htey have info. on all the past clues and once the mention of some numbers came out in clue 3 they all disappeared. Conspiracy?

Boatdoctor: The clues from past years tend to have a pattern, like the fourth clue usually tells you the park and i think it's the sixth clue usually tells you what the medallion is hidden in.

past clues help determine the order in which THEY like to spoon feed (although it gets sloppy most of the time) us information... i actually didnt get the highlander reference until Bill clued me in.. so i went to Encarta and voila!!!

know there very subtle trends, but you can usually find that the fourth or fifth clue tells you the park

Oh well. I'll be around printing up some maps to look at.

And, if I may, I'll take this time to plug for ICQ. If you don't have it, GET IT! That way, some immediate chat could happen. Better than AOHell's Instant Messenger by a huge longshot. Check it out.

it's nearly impossible to figure out what it's hidden in until it's in your hands... but if you do conclusively figure out the clue that tells what its hidden in you can rule that clue out for any signifgance to the park or it's features...

ani: I've been thinking that myself. But those little tidbits are the ones I don't usually share. :)

Highland is immense compared to Cherokee. Lots and lots of everything.

KX2L-Read back starting at my message at #3593, also read messages from Matt that were posted a bit before, that is how you will find that it is at Higland this year

one of the clues says if you find it you will "shout" hence the shout container

Yeah! I saw angel find it! Then I took my bazooka and got into my tank and ran her over! Then I grew wings and flew away and became the King of England, too! You missed all that?

Angel-If you are trying to humor yourself look into a mirror. You are not humoring others; moreover-It has been established that it is at Highland so you were wrong on that one. If you wish to contribute any worth while comments please do so, otherwise keep your juvenile pranks to yourself. Thank you.
