Yeah your probably right but so far evry clue fits there without much twisting or turning things around. It seem every year I read to much into the clues and this year I'm staying simple and it seem to make sense.LOL!!!!!!!!

Just back from Loab Lake/Marydale. Some clues fit pretty good but others are a stretch. It could work because of the long wait to totally reveal the park. They usually wait on smaller parks to give definite clues. Only a few of us die hards out there though. Anybody else back from 'out there' anywhere?

No, we went to Universal this time. But the cove is definatly on my list. I heard you have to make reservations a year ahead on time. We just ran away from the kids for a 4 day weekend.

Yeah, I like the Dove soap box better than the ice cream bar idea because of the white box being harder to see. I suppose that's been done to death already though.

Thanks Clue, I was wondering.

Brew, It was cold when we went down last weekend. 40's-50's But we rented a convertable, and were going around with the top down anyways. People were loooking at us like we were crazy. The Floridians were wearing there winter coats, hats and mittens. Seriously!

Tower of Terror and the rocking rollercoaster at MGM are fabulous!!! I could go on those all day. Also if you make it to universal the Hulk coaster and Terminator ride are really cool.

It's not a coaster. It's a 3-D ride. If you like to get queezy it's for you. But take your Dramimine.

hey gang we are looking staute!!!thats the clue

Clue No. 1: (The dig is on!) Go through the cold and prepare to be bold, Or you won't find the secret item Our beloved St. Paul is the place for gold, Dig elsewhere and you'll search ad infinitum Last year at Newell our fate was most cruel, Unfortunately the game ended too soon Come now and prepare for a much tougher duel, Keep on your toes or you'll hunt until June

Clue No. 2: (stay away from statues, golf courses, and private property) There's no need to destroy as you deploy For the hunt in our wonderful town Golf courses and statues you must not annoy And please steer clear of all private ground

Clue No. 3: (I think its a clue to a tire swing just out of view-could be wrong though- the references to circular and linking are intriguing) Circular thinking can be one way of * linking To the treasure that lies out of view. Your bank account won't be shrinking If you can figure out this clue.

Clue No. 4: (Not Downtown. look in a pile of leaves near the playground where the tire swing is at)

East and west are part of our test Though only one is the proper place If this choice leaves you depressed Playing might put a smile on your face

Clue No. 5: (Look for a something with a man's name on it. Inside of a Dove Soap Box in a pile of leaves under snow)

A man of steel cannot be real but another has plenty of mettle Look for his name around our deal and you'll be in very fine fettle To escape the herd find a peaceful bird somewhere deep in the snow Our treasure is boxed inside the word and thats what you need to know

Sup Jake - You end up going out anywhere? I tried calling Green on her cell but no answer. I figured I could look around Marydale for you fellow ciber geeks.

Alan - Was that you and you gal I was blabbin with out at Marydale?

Vipe - MLK park is small but has many little obsticales that fit every year for some reason. One year I was way off and just SWORE it was there. My buddy and I camped over night on 3 consecutive nights as others ended up leaving. But we were sure!! Oh well, you need to be humble sometime.
