Lots of Mounders and not that many Cherokees.

I'm outa here, too much street name talk. William - 05:43pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2250 of 8457)
Prospect park is probably out of the question by now. But prospect means "an extensive view" scenery all around clue. Prospect also means a place containing mineral deposits, one of the clues mentions "motherlode" lode is an ore deposit/minerals. ryan quinn - 05:43pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2251 of 8457)
actually dome park is in maplewood, and at that spot mapleood separates st paul and north st paul Dr. S. Livingston - 05:44pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2252 of 8457)
If you play the Baker-dough connection and the city streets-sydney connection, then that would put the medallion between those two streets. The last time it was at cherokee it told you in the clues which two streets (george and king) that it was between. Dr. S. Livingston - 05:46pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2253 of 8457)
Prospect park was my first choice, but there are no sledding areas and I think everyone has decided that sledding is one of the criteria. Terry Valentine - 05:49pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2254 of 8457)
Read #8268 from CASEY!!!!!!
Dr. S. Livingston - Sydney is not the only "city" street intersecting the park. But that's a great idea. We'll have to see if tonight's clue gives us more. A. Metal Detective - 05:50pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2255 of 8457)
Where is Sydney in relation to Cherokee Park? Dr. S. Livingston - 05:52pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2256 of 8457)
Sydney runs north of Annapolis and south of Baker parralel to both. Two Sisters - 05:53pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2257 of 8457)
Ryan - Goodrich park (or dome park as you refer to it) is in Maplewood - not St. Paul. Larpenteur Ave. is the border of St. Paul and Maplewood, so it obviously cannot be at that park. Terry Valentine - 05:56pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2258 of 8457)

Has anyone figured out the meaning of the double division clue ? Dr. S. Livingston - 06:03pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2261 of 8457)
Clue #2--water and woods. Could this just mean river and trees or could it be a reference to street names also? And has anyone given any thought to the clue "But first you'll have to crack our code"? hoosline - 06:05pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2262 of 8457)
what is the large object?please help Sitting Bull - 06:07pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2263 of 8457)
This goes out to all of you spelling masters, the street that runs into Cherokee Park is spelt SIDNEY, not SYDNEY(as in Sydney,Australia) the large object could be one of many things; highbridge,the smokestack(nsp plant),or any large dome like buildings. Two Sisters - 06:07pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2264 of 8457)
Dr. S - Crack our code is just referring to unscrambling demo and mode in the following line of the clue. That is where you come up with dome. Anyone agree? Red DOG - 06:08pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2265 of 8457)
JayBird are you and O'll Yeller ready to get out and hunt yet. Rumor has it the Lipster might be joining. What is STM and the Judge up to ? Two Sisters - 06:09pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2266 of 8457)
Sitting Bull - we think "double division" refers to the division of two counties and two cities found at Cherokee. The Woman And I - 06:09pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2267 of 8457)

I was at Cherokee all morning. I'm convinced that it is there. I have done the mounds and prospect park. It is at Cherokee. Two Sisters - 06:10pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2268 of 8457)
Alan & Jill - We agree! JNorris - 06:11pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2269 of 8457)
Is Cherokee along th e river by Harriet Island or am I geographically impaired? Dr. S. Livingston - 06:13pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2270 of 8457)
Double division could also refer to the line on a tennis court that divides the court for doubles play. The court at Cherokee is pretty much rooted through. Is there any tennis courts at Mounds? The Woman And I - 06:14pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2271 of 8457)
Alan and Jill
We will be out in full force tonight, which I beleive will be the final clue that will bring us to the precious treasure. I will first need to visit Home Depot to pick up better equipment. J - 06:15pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2272 of 8457)
RED DOG, I'm ready, O'll Yeller is mad because i was out all day.Lips my be ready if we stay on him. I haven't talked to STM, give him a call, but I'm ready. The Woman And I - 06:15pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2273 of 8457)
Alan and Jill
The tennis court looks to be gone through 10 times over Dr. S. Livingston - 06:15pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2274 of 8457)
Could "one", "first" and "dough" all refer to the First Bank building? Patrick Budion - 06:16pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2275 of 8457)
I agree with the woman and i and the 2 sisters Patrick Budion - 06:17pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2276 of 8457)
Yes it is possible Dr S. J - 06:17pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2277 of 8457)
I wouldn't mind taking a nap, I was out till 2:00 last night and up at 7:00, but I'm ready for tonight. Desire-to-win - 06:19pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2278 of 8457)
Left Cherokee this afternoon, almost all the territory is dug through. Hopefully, the next clue will zone in the area in Cherokee.

Patrick--Are you any relation to Robert or Nick Budion of Rosemount? J - 06:21pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2281 of 8457)
Stay off the mounds, it won't be there. Dr. S. Livingston - 06:22pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2282 of 8457)
The indians of indian mounds were considered great architects, right up there with the egyptians and mayans, because they could build large funeral mounds. Gee if that is not a feat of engineering I don't know what is!! Desire-to-win - 06:23pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2283 of 8457)
They aren't going to bury the medallion in a burial ground. Remember, you're not suppose to destroy property. Patrick Budion - 06:23pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2284 of 8457)

C.Fox: I'd be careful of what you say. You'll be kicked out of the water cooler. Ask Joe Medallion. He was kicked out. We're suppose to be exchanging ideas. The buriel ground is fenced off for a reason. It's against the law. Save yourself grief, and look elsewhere. Medallion Machine - 06:32pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2290 of 8457)
Any ideas on the object enclosing the medallion? hoosline - 06:32pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2291 of 8457)
last time it was at the mounds,they said they would never put it there again because of people with no respect-for others or them selfs
p.s.read jim walshes col. today and it still could be there but not in the mound(burial). Medallion Machine - 06:33pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2292 of 8457)

Yes, the beacon still works Dr. S. Livingston - 06:42pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2307 of 8457)
C. Fox, I have been playing nice with the others. The indian mounds thing was a joke (not completely, they do consider indian mounds equivalent to the pyramids in ancient feats of building). I put it there because there was a lack of other clue exchanges going on!! The Woman And I - 06:43pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2308 of 8457)
Alan and Jill
Hi Desire-to-win. Nice to talk with you at Cherokee. The boyfried and I will be heading out immediately after the clue is posted. Are you heading out? I think tonights the night!! Allie Go - 06:45pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2309 of 8457)
To the three guys that I was talking to at "???." Remember...I asked you what your opinion was on Clue #7 and you weren't exactly forthright....well, now I know why! I'm slowing down. See you there. Dr. S. Livingston - 06:45pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2310 of 8457)
Back to clue exchanges--Has the medallion ever been found in a tree or in the ravine or do they always put it on the ground? The Woman And I - 06:47pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2311 of 8457)
Alan and Jill
they have placed it in a tree about 7 feet up. C. FOX - 06:47pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2312 of 8457)
EVERYONE- LETS MEET AT CHEREOKEE AT 11:45. WE CAN ALL GO TOGETHER AS FRIENDS AND AFTER ILL BUY A ROUND OF BEERS. SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN. hoosline - 06:48pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2313 of 8457)

Sorry, the Woman and I. I stepped away from the cooler for a couple of minutes. I won't be out tonight, but will be right away in the AM. If you're still around, I'll probably see you early Sunday AM. The Woman And I - 06:50pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2316 of 8457)

Does anyone think it is in a small park?

i'm elimated the small park theory - I thought it was a prospect park for awhile - I have taken that out of the loop. hoosline - 06:54pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2322 of 8457)

Alan and Jill
any new information Desire-to-win. Or did we cover everthing this morning. I'M CONVINCED IT'S THERE! C. FOX - 06:59pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2327 of 8457)
Where do you think it is? Alan and Jill. What makes you so sure, the choosen ones. Dr. S. Livingston - 07:00pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2328 of 8457)
Lori--I'm not sure what "this" refers to. If you mean talking in the cooler, then yes I am a newbie, I just started yesterday. If you mean searching for the medallion, then no I am not a newbie I have been searching for three years. Desire-to-win - 07:01pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2329 of 8457)
I left this afternoon. A lot of the area was dug up. Need more of a percise location for a better digging area. What do you think? The Woman And I - 07:02pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2330 of 8457)
Alan and Jill
None of us are the chosen ones. Someone that accidently happened across the clues in the paper today will go out and stumble over the medallion and poof they are $4000 richer and we all go home 'til next year! Lori Franklin - 07:03pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2332 of 8457)
Thank you. I was actually curious about both questions. Having watched the paper over the years and silently cheered people on - it's kind of fun to find this forum. I am hoping to get my "Southern Hubby" out tonight and join in the revelry. C. FOX - 07:03pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2333 of 8457)

Well then dont say it Jill. You make people upset at you. Must go to pick up food for Marty and I. We cant dig like beavers if we are hungery. Please post messages for me. Ill be back. Crazy Horse - 07:11pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2341 of 8457)
I take it there is no Ivy.It is hidden in bread dough. Dr. S. Livingston - 07:11pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2342 of 8457)
Back to the line of double division. Could it be referring to the B.N. and SOO R.R. lines that run below mounds park? Desire-to-win - 07:12pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2343 of 8457)
Woman & I: Sorry for the delay. My computer is so slow. It takes me a few minutes to refresh. I agree, we're true de-coders for the clues. We'll be one of the lucky ones, real soon! Dug That Been There - 07:13pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2344 of 8457)

We were out at Cherokee today to look around. My husband found a shoe in a tree that we were all excited about for a few minutes. I think it's somewhere at Cherokee. Any ideas on what it's hidden in? Dr. S. Livingston - 07:17pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2347 of 8457)
I'm not sure. It was a thought. I'm not completely sold on the division of cities and counties at Cherokee. Crazy Horse - 07:18pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2348 of 8457)
Some say it is hidden in a La Rosa pasta box for Rose and Rosebud but we think it is too big and it could be hidden in white bread dough. Dr. S. Livingston - 07:18pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2349 of 8457)
The last I heard people thought it was in a La Rosa pasta box, an altoid container or buried under a "rosebud" sled. Red DOG - 07:20pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2350 of 8457)

Dr S What is an altoid container and Why in one?? Dr. S. Livingston - 07:22pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2353 of 8457)
Last year I lived near Bandana Square. I would go into the SA on lexington and front (near como where the medallion was at) The cashiers there knew more about the hunt, from people searching and telling them, than anyone else. Is there a convienant store near Cherokee? You should go in and see what the people there have heard. Desire-to-win - 07:23pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2354 of 8457)
So where is Ivy Park? Can't find it on the map. Wes Evans - 07:23pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2355 of 8457)

Altiods, the curiously strong mints... The box has roses on it. (Little metal box) Crazy Horse - 07:25pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2357 of 8457)
when it was hidden at tony schmit park i found out from the attendat at the SA station on White Bear Avenue Crazy Horse - 07:26pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2358 of 8457)
probably not in metal containers because of metal detectors. The bread dough theory rules! Desire-to-win - 07:26pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2359 of 8457)
They won't bury it in a metal container. Easily detected. Patrick Budion - 07:27pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2360 of 8457)

bdead dough sounds good, but when I was at cherokee last night in the wee hours of the morn I thought dough refered to Baker street that starts by the tennis courts of cherokee.

Dough could be a double clue for bakers street and bread dough. And also it could mean its hidden between bakers street and anapolis. 90% of snow at cherokee is not turned over!!!!

Yeah, the really stiff ones... I don't know if that's the best but it struck me as kind of interesting... Snowflake - 07:43pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2386 of 8457)
There are really six city streets that run into Cherokee Park, did you forget Morton, Minnesota - the home of Jackpot Junction, an Indian run Casino? Does anyone know which tribe they belong to? Itsinmypocket now - 07:43pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2387 of 8457)
Neon, yes the clues do suck, but we all are agreed that the med is at Cherokee, now we should all be focusing on where in the park, and what it is hidden in. Elsinore - 07:43pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2388 of 8457)
OK, no one will say it, so I will. The double division theory dividing cities/counties is lame. It's only alive becuase it's the only thing remotely close. Don't get me wrong, I don't have it down yet. Once this is over, the line of double division will make perfect sense and we will all say 'yeah, I was thinking that'. I was at Cherokee last night for several hours. If its there and you find it, I will eat the copy of the Pioneer Press with your picture in it. Lori Franklin - 07:44pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2389 of 8457)
E.R. - what is it that makes you say it's at Cherokee for sure? Neonblue - 07:45pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2390 of 8457)
Has it ever been up in a tree before? kgb - 07:46pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2391 of 8457)
thats what i was using thurs. midnight between the hospital and the playground at mound s and my rake broke. tonight i think my gang will be off to cherokee, Neonblue - 07:46pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2392 of 8457)
I tell ya, people are "vultures" at Cherokee... I hit an area that wasn't that obvious. Once I was in there a flood of people came rushing in. Actually, it was rather funny! My heart jumped for a minute when I struck a rock... *sigh* Itsinmypocket now - 07:47pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2393 of 8457)
Well Els, what IS your theory about where its hidden? crazie horse - 07:47pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2394 of 8457)
Lori: Never Underground. Hidden in bread dough. Dr. S. Livingston - 07:47pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2395 of 8457)
I'm still stuck on the small park idea. Cherokee fits the clues, but i think there are alot of double meanings in the clues that can be made to fit any number of parks. Someone said it was found in a tree once. kgb - 07:48pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2396 of 8457)
neon it has been hidden above the ground before but i don't think
they want you climbing trees crazie horse - 07:49pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2397 of 8457)
yes it has been up in a tree Itsinmypocket now - 07:49pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2398 of 8457)
Neon-I was thinking it was in a tree, because there were just too many people for too long digging in the ground at C.P. Also, could it be in a trash can? Lori Franklin - 07:49pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2399 of 8457)
Crazie Horse: Okay, bread dough; white, rye, sourdough...? Two Sisters - 07:50pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2400 of 8457)
I need a refresher - why do people think it's at Mounds? Itsinmypocket now - 07:51pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2401 of 8457)
2S:Its not at mounds its at Cherokee Dr. S. Livingston - 07:51pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2402 of 8457)
Well i am off. It's nice working at a place that has internet connections. I can work for 4 hrs, play on the web and get paid. Small Parks!!!!! Be back around 11:30 for the next vague clue. kgb - 07:51pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2403 of 8457)
neon last time it was at mounds it was in clay and grass on the ground
its been in a band aid box a white castle box plastic chew container etc. Patrick Budion - 07:52pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2404 of 8457)
Before we got the snow I thought it might be in a tree, bush etc. But now, I think it's in the snow. crazie horse - 07:52pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2405 of 8457)
White bread dough to match the snow. People think its at mounds mostly for the same reasons people think its at cherokee. Elsinore - 07:52pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2406 of 8457)
I'll admit I was a die hard for Mounds until last nights clue. About 2:30 am I ruled out Cherokee, and I ruled out Prospect 10 munutes later, even though It is between Water and Wood streets, and it is next to Delos (lode anagram).
I'm looking at the small park thoery, and if all else fails, I'm going to Battle Creek becuz no one else has. Mounds is an option if I can get the double division thing figured. Bring laptops tonite, cuz this clue SHOULD give the park away to avid hunters and diggers Itsinmypocket now - 07:54pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2407 of 8457)
Someone said it would be in a mounds candybar wrapper at cherokee park-any signif? hoosline - 07:54pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2408 of 8457)
it's not at mound or cherokee,i no for sure,tell you after 11:30 clue kgb - 07:55pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2409 of 8457)
casey are you there? Two Sisters - 07:55pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2410 of 8457)
itsinmypocket - I know it's at Cherokee, I just don't understand why so many people think it's at Mounds. It does seem odd though that they would put it in Cherokee since it wasn't too long ago that it was there - same with mounds. Patrick Budion - 07:55pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2411 of 8457)
Elsinore, why did you rule out Cherokee? Elsinore - 07:56pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2412 of 8457)
I don't think it ever got answered -- Where is Ivy Park?
The bread dough makes sense. The diaper was hard to see in the snow, but bread will be eaten by squirrels, birds, etc. A Medallion sandwich in a Rose pasta container? I have considered Wonder bread bags as well. Itsinmypocket now - 07:56pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2413 of 8457)
Remember a couple of yrs back when the clues somehow spelled out 'como park'? Has anyone checked for that this year? Two Sisters - 07:57pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2414 of 8457)
We don't see how they could put it in a small park. The park has to accomodate for the number of people. Itsinmypocket now - 07:58pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2415 of 8457)
2S; Do you live by C.P.? Patrick Budion - 07:58pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2416 of 8457)
It spelled Batttle Creek, does not work this year. Neonblue - 07:58pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2417 of 8457)
I believe that was the Battle creek park one... The clues spelled out battle when a group of women found it... kgb - 07:58pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2418 of 8457)
its been checked to no avail AMD - 07:59pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2419 of 8457)
Could anyone give me directions to Cherokee? I will be coming from Mounds. Patrick Budion - 07:59pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2420 of 8457)
2sis', you are correct mam's Itsinmypocket now - 07:59pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2421 of 8457)
Its not going to be in a park that no one knows about: Its not like they dont want you to find it crazie horse - 07:59pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2422 of 8457)
animals cannot detect frozen bread dough Itsinmypocket now - 08:01pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2423 of 8457)
AMD: Do you know where the high bridge is? Elsinore - 08:01pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2424 of 8457)
I'm on the theory that the double division will narrow it within the park, not just identify the park. I was there last night, the undug places seemed unlikely (of course, NOTHING should be unlikely). You cant see the smoke stack from most of the good places.
I'm not too closed-minded, but I'm just not associating the double division to Cherokee. To me, that leaves Mounds as the best spot. I think the city streets are Urban and Suburban. Lori Franklin - 08:02pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2425 of 8457)
Crazie Horse: You deserve the medallion! Are you a zoologist? AMD - 08:02pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2426 of 8457)
Yes, but I don't know how to get on it Patrick Budion - 08:03pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2427 of 8457)

Els: You're just putting SOME of the clues 2gether 4 mounds, but ALL of them fit 4 C.P. Itsinmypocket now - 08:06pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2430 of 8457)
Greg Sax and all of the other jackasses (Joe Medallion, Snowball2, R.C.)-They haven't been here 4 quite some time now. Patrick Budion - 08:06pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2431 of 8457)
Urban and Suburban are Urban and Suburban streets. There are 6 streets named after cities that run into or border Cherokee. Neonblue - 08:07pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2432 of 8457)
Suburban borders BAttle creek, too. crazie horse - 08:07pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2433 of 8457)
Lori: Point taken. how about masking the smell with rubbing alcohol or some other clear substance animals cannot tolerate. Lori Franklin - 08:08pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2434 of 8457)
How did Suburban come into play? Patrick Budion - 08:09pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2435 of 8457)
It's no wonder your called crazie. Neonblue - 08:09pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2436 of 8457)
Someone mentioned that Mounds has the streets urban and suburban.. To make the story even more correct Suburban borders Battle Creek... I don't think it's there, though. Elsinore - 08:09pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2437 of 8457)
I don't buy the frozen bread dough theory, but I dont have a reason why.
All of the clues are vauge, so everyone is associating them to the large parks. No one has dug them up, cuz there is nothing specific.
I have to say last nights clue threw me off of Mounds, but all of the other clues fit as good or better than Cherokee. I'm a skeptic on any park until 11:35, but I'll still eat the paper if its at Cherokee Itsinmypocket now - 08:09pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2438 of 8457)
I think that it will be in a bread bag,not in frozen bread or whatever the hell you guys are talking about Lori Franklin - 08:09pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2439 of 8457)
Crazie Horse: How about - They baked the bread and shellacked it! Patrick Budion - 08:11pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2440 of 8457)
I'll eat the paper if it fits Mounds. Elsinore - 08:11pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2441 of 8457)
Baked bread! That would be SO COOL! I'd eat my way there! Lori Franklin - 08:12pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2442 of 8457)
Itsinmypocketnow: Crazie Horse believes the medallian is enclosed in bread dough. Patrick Budion - 08:12pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2443 of 8457)
do you folks realize that there were only about 100 hits on this site last year, I think Elsinore - 08:13pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2444 of 8457)
Step right up folks! Place your bets! Who will eat the St. Paul Pioneer Press! Elsinore eats it if its in Cherokee, Pat B if its in Mounds! Now taking bets!
(What the hell am I doing!?!? I'm in the minority here!)
Bets being taken until 11:25PM. No rescinding your bets after the next clue! Itsinmypocket now - 08:14pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2445 of 8457)

What about Water Street being below the bluff from CP? Elsinore - 08:21pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2456 of 8457)
Crazie - I've never heard that anything about a frozen slice of bread not eminating a scent if it has bee frozen. Now UNBAKED bread I could understand, but that would be a pain in the nec to get out. Actually, that rather SUPPORTS that theory! Importantly, I have no working knowledge of the subject, but I bake bread at home a lot.
Hoosline- You indicate to have an inside edge. If you KNOW where it is, you've either got it, or you're gonna throw us false clues. Otherwise, why get on the Cooler? So my guess is you have a hunch and are waiting for it to be confirmed. Any chance you would enlighted us mere diggers? Neonblue - 08:21pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2457 of 8457)

I think its odd that the sliding hill is such a small insignificant one - that is if Rosebud and zoom are referring to sledding. The rosebud seems like such a big clue that if it was referring to sledding, you'd think it would be at a bigger sledding park. I still think it's at Cherokee, but I think Rosebud might mean something other than a sled. Maybe it's in a Rosebud or something. Any thoughts?
