The Big W comes from the movie "Its a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" Its a great movie if you've never seen it. Its sort of about a treasure hunt where all the people are looking for a treasure but all they know is that its buried under a big W, whatever that means. So they're all running around trying to figure out where it is. Then Jonathan Winters is chasing a guy he's mad at when he runs by some palm trees and then stops dead, realizing they are growing at angles and form a big W. So the big W is that moment when it suddenly dawns on you that you've hit the right spot and the clues fit perfectly to what you're seeing.
I dunno if I'm gonna dig tonight,got my kids game and conferences......and I'm tired out! We'll see how I feel later and how THX feels about goin out tonight!
I know i'm gonna though........
Will you people go and turn over some of that snow for goodness sake! It sucks bein one of the first there and nothins narrowed down.....I could have dug until June!!!!
Yes, Henry Ford was definitely a man of mettle. Almost defines the term.
I'm not sure if I'm going to dig tonight either. I have a my Mason meeting tonight which will take from about 7-9 so I can go before or after. I tried last night, but you're right, when you're the first one out there, its like "Where do you start?" Plus the wind was blowing and I had to go to the bathroom so I didn't stay too long, even though we were being filmed. But Trent and Jackie were getting prety cold too and said there wasn't enough light out there anyway. They did say they'd bring more next time.
Scratch that Martin Luther King place off your lists, that place is mad silly. I didn't see how half the clues fit, I also don't think they would give away what it's hidden in, and the park in the same clue, and besides that, they have killer bats hangin out in the trees.
yeah, we were up at MLK and we were gettin ready to bouce up outta that place, after deciding it sucked, so we cut through them big pine trees on the north end of the park and we were dive bombed by giant squealing bats.
ARe most of you going out tonight to dig or do you feel it's too early? Does anyone still think it's at Hidden Falls, Highland, or Battle Creek and why?
the garage logic think tank will have to convene in the midway stadium parking lot with our grills cigars and spotted cow ale to tailgate and ponder these clues
Allison, if you wanna go hunting instead of your meeting...I am in..same with evilblue (maybe) and whereverwireless. :) Let me know time and place. BUT do you think we need to wait for another clue?
What if I want to go hunting after my meeting at 9, or before at 6? And no, we don't need any more clues. I know where it is, I just don't know *exactly* where.

Was Henry Ford a man of "mettle?" I know he used a lot of metal!
Hey Wolf! I didn't know the guy personally but I heard some fettle rumors........
Heck, that must have been a different Ford, maybe Gerald!
Gerald,great guy,no hair.:)
Anyone know whats up with that Mardi Gras thing thats up at the top of the screen?

Yeah Scribe I thought you were like 28, 29 or 30 at the oldest. How bout THX, he looks young also, are you both about the same age
During the hunt, the PP will have late night promotions where you can win tickets on Sun Country. I guess tonight is one of them.
stepdogg. aren't you supposed to be in school now?
so everybody's thought right now is that it's either at Battle Creek, marydale park, mlk community center what else are we throwing around out there
Allison,if we go out tonight it won't be until later also,at least 9:00 or so........call us and let us know later!
SO is it a party or is it just like, you go in and sign up to win stuff and leave
Hey...Hi All...I kept say Ford Last Night and no one responded...can someone save me so time and share with me the latest and greatest thoughts...
You an Aggie Dig? As in St.Agnes?
Hey Scribe maybe we'll bump into youse guys over in Valley today.
AW, is it a party? or is it where you just go in to sign up and win stuff and then leave?
Yeah, why
Sorry J, I've never yet gone myself so I don't know much beyond that. I imagine its not really a party though.
Scribe, I'll do that. I'll call you if I go out after my meeting. Maybe I can get some secret masonic leads on where it is, hehe.
Scratch that Martin Luther King place off your lists, that place is mad silly. I didn't see how half the clues fit, I also don't think they would give away what it's hidden in, and the park in the same clue, and besides that, they have killer bats hangin out in the trees.
whoa, you guys are gonna be doing freaky voodoo stuff to find out where the medallion is? KICK ASS! i wanna come, wheres this gonna happen?
scribe, wouldn,t it be something(a pleasant thought) if "leaves you depressed" refers to the leaf dump down below linwood
killer bats??? - Vampires, AW you been hanging around there?
hell yeah, Marydale park is whack too, its the size of my front yard. there aint nothin there except the streets and the playground.
Naw I'm talkin bout big flyin squealin things that dive bomb your head when your just tryin to look around the place.
scribe I'm from st. agnes, why, were u just wondering
Well, I went to Linwood, Valley, Palace, Highland and Battle Creek today and there is noooo one at either of those parks/rec centers...
What is the scoop now???
"How bout THX, he looks young also, are you both about the same age"
Don't answer that Scribe!
:-)
yeah, we were up at MLK and we were gettin ready to bouce up outta that place, after deciding it sucked, so we cut through them big pine trees on the north end of the park and we were dive bombed by giant squealing bats.
Why do you feel it's at MLK rec center???
We dont think its there, we just wanted to see why people were makin a big deal outa it
Ex Stud,that ain't funny!!:)
Dig,I went grade school there! My daughter goes to St.Bernards and just kicked your butts in jr.high basketball at home a week or so ago!LOL!
I dont anymore. I mean, it has a slight possibility, but seeing that alotta the clues dont fit, were gonna have to wait and see.
ARe most of you going out tonight to dig or do you feel it's too early? Does anyone still think it's at Hidden Falls, Highland, or Battle Creek and why?
the garage logic think tank will have to convene in the midway stadium parking lot with our grills cigars and spotted cow ale to tailgate and ponder these clues
THX is old! He just had reconstuctive surgery is all! Before that he looked his age!LOL
Doc's a Souchi fan too!
GOOD LUCK DOC!!
Allison, if you wanna go hunting instead of your meeting...I am in..same with evilblue (maybe) and whereverwireless. :) Let me know time and place. BUT do you think we need to wait for another clue?
yeah girl's basketball hasn't always been their strong sport
Come to the Valley of Temptation!
Dig,it went into two overtimes and sudden death,their not bad,we're undefeated!Great Game!
Allison,that'll keep em away.........:)
What if I want to go hunting after my meeting at 9, or before at 6? And no, we don't need any more clues. I know where it is, I just don't know *exactly* where.
Allison,I told you where it is........anybody got a bulldozer...or a bobcat?
AW, you know where its at?, give us the scoop yo!
So Allison, where do you "know" where it is???
AND WHY?
"How bout THX, he looks young also, are you both about the same age" Don't answer that Scribe!
I figured both of you in your late 20's or at worst the big 3-0.
What park are you sold on Allison
