O.K.... I just spent about an hour night hunting.....
I didn't find it....but I did get to "find" a 14 or 15 yr old girl that was passed out.....
well.....(not really)
as I walked into the park I noticed a bunch of kids coming out of the park on bikes...and I didn't really put two and two togethor right way.....
as I walked down by the dirtbike area I saw what I thought was those nice "lanterns" for some serious hunting going on....but it was a pickup truck shinning on the dirt bike area....turns out was some of the kids parents draggin out this girl passed out....
but I'm thinking at first oh crap...kids...and here I am the only adult in the park.....
as soon as they left I started hunting......I noticed they must have had a good time with the music playing from the street dance....heck I had fun.....
wow. It's still out there? Figured it woulda been found by now. Well that's definately the right park, 4 of these swinging in the breeze... Trees? Hmm...
Haveta sleep on it. I may get time to search tomorrow, but it'll be sporratic at best, other obligations once again loom over my hunting time....
The Golden Star has been found per the hot line recording. :-(
I'll call tomorrow and ask for them to provide details. At least I'm glad it was found. Just curious as where since that little area was gone over pretty good.

Yeah I'd be interested in the details too. I'm glad someone found it at least...

I gotta kick this cold....no interest to do anything right now...
Did anybody hear where this was actually found? I figure it was by that bend in the trail but not sure where exactly.
