I was thinking about the ball fields and pitcher's mounds relating to Conway. I don't know if there's a cemetary for poor people.

The U2 song I was thinking of is Red Hill Mining Town - 3M (mining).

Looking into the funny/odd punctuation!(.)

I haven't found a reference to the river as a muddy bath...just Old Man River and Father of Waters.

Dal - I like the 3M thing. It's one of the reasons that Battle Creek was screaming yesterday.

Hi everyone...this is great fun! I got all wet at Highland today and Whitney found 2 frisbees!

Hmmmm, yes. AW knows how to put a period at the end of a sentence (when he wants to).

I found this...Minnesota's name comes from a Sioux word meaning "cloudy water", the name for the Minnesota River.

Terry, maybe I heard that big muddy river connection in a city down the river like St. Louis or New Orleans. It's even muddier there! Also, SunRay is near BC. And like Me2 said earlier, some streets there have no names (U2 reference), just A, B, C.

I think I'm confused. Not sure about that yet...but thinking confused thoughts can make one confused, right?

I'm going to go study the guide and see if I get inspired by anything.

AW, does your 3rd clue mean it's at Mounds? ;)

"AW, does your 3rd clue mean it's at Mounds? ;)"

Maybe, or then again maybe not. To paraphrase Humpty Dumpty from "Alice in Wonderland", the clues mean precisely what I want them to mean. Nothing more and nothing less.

anyone here from scribe or thx? is there another spot more people are posting to?

They and others (inc. all of us here now) post all over the threads THX set up in the PPWC folder. THX was in here earlier today. If you look at your toolbar to the right, you can see a "Who's Here" list.

Thx was here today but I dont know if they're doing the mock hunt.People in and out all day so far.

Since THX is the administrator of this neighborhood of this site, I don't imagine he'd be off posting elsewhere. Haven't seen much of Scribe at all the last few days.

oooohhhh, that would be a good thing to hide it in, and in keeping with your personal theme: a mushroom! Little cold for that, prolly.

And your eye is creeping me out! :)

Mounds

Conway

Battle Creek

No particular order.

I was also thinking about the cemetary near Conway and how that might be the opposite of pharoah burial places. Compared to the wealth of the pharoahs, we're all poor as sparrows!

Terry-Do you know where the cemetary is located? I see it listed in the THG, but isn't shown in my map book (other cemetarys are)
