every time my phone rang today I completely freeked out. Didn't help that my oldest daughter set the phone on a spooky tune (before she even knew about the hunt) -I wasnt sure if I would get THE call today or not.

Haha, nice ESD, I can always count on you having my back. I would feel guilty not sharing in the finding of it with you if it is actually at Mounds

And did I say 10 before, make it 15 ;)

Speaking of which, it clue #4 supposed to be a different color, or are you not at liberty to say?

I just kinda figured that she was trying to blend the letters into the background of the page, so no one would be able to see the clue.

Yeah, she did get quiet pretty quick. I bet being on the other side of a hunt is killing her, I don't know how long I could take it.

sorry-I was up top making all of the clues the same Chiller font -at least so I can see them spookily :) all are the same color except clue #4. It was supposed to be an innovatinve spooky transparent clue- where you would have to highlight it with your cursor to see it. This 'thread' doesn't have the same font color as the background so I couldnt do it. :( -at least I dont know how-I am sure some of our nutty computer geeks could do it. So now that everyone has seen it, I have just left it for the fun of it, being the clue that you wernt supposed to "see". hehe.

Hey!  That alpha-omega picture is missing.  Who took it...and why?!?!

I have now had some time to study these clues.  Mounds sure seems like the strongest possibility.  I love IM!! 

That road that used to go around the burial mounds is where we got engaged. 

I liked the noodle regarding ESP and the east side.  Good thinking!

I also think being she's been concerned particularly today that someone would find it and she knows folks are thinking IM, that's another sign someone is on the right track.

Hey Me2, I figured out a way to do it, it might not match the color of the background, but it could be transperent, oooooooh, It's sooooo creepy!!


 

Highlight above at your own risk...

KCOGRN

so your saying...if telepathy=ESP...then it's not at mounds?

Thu, 07/22/2004 - 10:26 PM Permalink
KC0GRN

nah, I"m just saying if people are trying to make telepathy=ESP=East Saint Paul to confirm it's at mounds, but the theory is flawed because it won't help

I think the "ceasing to exist " is the key line in that one

KC where do you suggest?  I'm at Mounds cause haven't been pulled anywhere else.  I'd sure love to move to a safer park.

Thu, 07/22/2004 - 10:53 PM Permalink
KC0GRN

hmm plenty of parklands that are safer to search out. Cherokee sounded good for a while, might be there?

Do you agree that from clue 1 that it's in a park and not a rec center or something?

"Ceasing to exist"

notice doesn't say CEASED ...so......
means your not DEAD...as in DEAD end....

maybe means dying, or your sick.

(or am I completely wrong...."dying= meaning you should die? or you need to die?")
