It's in Cherokee. No wait, it's still in Kellogg. No wait, it's not in a park at all. That's pretty much what you missed.

Of course I think we all know that it's really still sitting at the Pioneer Press building and the winner will be the first person to go up and ask the security guard for it.

BRENDA????????

Oh, dear!!! And yur snot even married yet!

Well, I'd not worry too overly much, Sweetie. She's a love and I think she'll come around. Try a dinner out - BIG BUCKS - a tiny, lacey thighy, your full attention and she'll be happy.

Thing izz, she's prolly just disgruntled that she's snot found The Puck yet!

Good Evening!

Got through slogging early tonight. Heck, I'll even be able to eat dinner with the family :).

Had a silly brainstorm on the way home tonight. I was trying to follow the KISS rules with clue #5. Took it down to the basics. Cipher, as a verb, mean to compute arithmetically. Added the numbers given us, One plus two plus three....six. There are 6 mounds in Mounds park. Bear with me - I know I'm probably W-A-Y wrong, but a lot of the other clues fit there, too. Of course, you can see the Capitol, barbs - Thorn street, clue #3 I haven't been able to make a lot of sense out of....but there is a sort of pavillion that's open on two sides. The coldest star.....this is the BIG stretch....the beacon??

I know I'm rambling on like a mad woman, but until the next clue, I don't have anything better.

Does anyone know how they are giving the trip away tonight?


East side, can't blame you for not being able to sleep, it's going to get really good tonight, I have a feeling about the clue tonight poking fun about it being found after Clue #6 last year

M2K3!!! Howdy!!!

Mac, as much as I'd love to show up in my fishing bra (tho the majority o'the Old Timers (CC-wise...) have seen me in it...

I'll snot be at MomPress tonite. The Shit Mobile's been ridden hard and put away wet, and I've work tomorrow...

I'll ponder showing up there 2morrow nite.

So one thought before I go. Daylight Savings Time. Is it 2am now or 3am? "Spring Ahead" if you want to "keep" time. Discuss.

Bye

Hi all! Back from up N, and I had a "revelation" about clue 5 while driving home.

Nobody has brought up the most obvious meaning- The one on top of 1st bank! I believe its been debated (on the old cooler boards during past hunts) as to whether it has 2 or 3 sides. The rest is just word play to make us over-cipher the clue.(Not sure if/where "When St.Paul made a great leap" comes in to play)

It doesn't help narrow down the park much, but would they want to do that on clue 6 when they're trying to make it hard?
