Were definitely avoiding the topic of the clues themselves. We're going to have to sign off if noone can add any insight... 
Barbi Rose - 06:59pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3804 of 8457)
What insight are you looking for Westsiders? Howard Stern The King Of All Media - 06:59pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3805 of 8457)
Oh yeah, weres Joe medalion At Wes Evans - 07:00pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3806 of 8457)
why is it taking so long to pinpoint the darn park?!? B-Dog - 07:00pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3807 of 8457)
The medallion is in Mounds park out in the middle of no-where waiting for the clues to pin-point its location. Every clue fits. Once again, "kids like to zoom" is childs road. Josh Wright - 07:00pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3808 of 8457)
As I said before, "rosebud" is the name of the sled in Citizen Kane, There has to be a sliding hill near ground zero. Westsiders - 07:00pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3809 of 8457)
You know, like some burst of revelation about the exact location of the medallion. Barbi Rose - 07:00pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3810 of 8457)
There are too many clues that are just too vauge!! Howard Stern The King Of All Media - 07:01pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3811 of 8457)
Wes> Its @ the capitel, and its by a statue. Barbi Rose - 07:02pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3812 of 8457)
Josh, "rosebud" is also anything reddened or pinkish in color! Been There Dug That - 07:03pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3813 of 8457)
How do the pyramids fit into Mounds???? speterson - 07:03pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3814 of 8457)
Does anyone think it is at Mounds and the three pyramids is the swingset? Rose bud could either mean Thorne Street or by a rosebush. Bailey - 07:04pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3815 of 8457)
has anybody figured how DOME fits into Cherokee Park? Barbi Rose - 07:04pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3816 of 8457)
Are any of the swingsets at Mound's red in color? Howard Stern The King Of All Media - 07:05pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3817 of 8457)
.... B-Dog - 07:05pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3818 of 8457)
The pyramids are the picnic shelters, they are pyramids above the snow! speterson - 07:05pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3819 of 8457)
No, I think silver. Also lines of double division could be the sign for Division of Parks and Recs. Been There Dug That - 07:05pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3820 of 8457)
You can see the Capital Dome and the Cathedral Dome from Cherokee. Wes Evans - 07:05pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3821 of 8457)
dome at cherokee looks like it could be the capital or cathedral Bailey - 07:07pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3822 of 8457)
is Cherokee considered a sledding place? I was there and it seemed wimpy for that. Been There Dug That - 07:08pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3823 of 8457)
I think the pyramids are more obvious at Cherokee than at Mounds. There were alot of people at Cherokee today. How many people were at Mounds today? Josh Wright - 07:09pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3824 of 8457)
I fugured "rosebu" meant sled because when kids go sledding they "zoom". Also, rosebud is a noun "a" rosebud could still give pleasure, like sledding fun. Spence - 07:10pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3825 of 8457)
It has to be at Cherokee the pyrmids are to perfect with the smoke
stack as the main thing you see and the double division anapolis ST
divides the city and county lines.Also the sliding hill kollin stevens - 07:11pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3826 of 8457)
567 people at mounds 8 at cher... speterson - 07:11pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3827 of 8457)
There were a lot of people at Mounds today. But most of the park is already dug up. Bailey - 07:11pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3828 of 8457)
Spence, WHAT sliding hill? I'm still trying to figure that out. Is this the hill to the right of the 'pyramids'? Josh Wright - 07:13pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3829 of 8457)
Is there a construction site in view at Cherokee? Clare - 07:13pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3830 of 8457)
As I was reading the clues from last year it seemed pretty clear that
the park was obvious by the 4th clue! Plus streets were named and
the general area of where to look once in the park by the 8th clue.
We have to assume that with the clues that we have, they have givin
us the park plus a street name...now, lets figure it out. Bailey - 07:13pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3831 of 8457)
joe, not that I saw. why do you ask? Josh Wright - 07:14pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3832 of 8457)
reason I was askin' was that "demo" could be demo-lition, and the large object could be a crane (w/ wrecking ball). Spence - 07:15pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3833 of 8457)
no it is the hill by anapolis st it has been used as a sliding hill
for over 30 years and it is wimpy. Bailey - 07:16pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3834 of 8457)
thanks spence, I guess to a REALLY small kid, the hill may be a great ride! Jims time - 07:17pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3835 of 8457)
Cherokee has a 3 section concrete building with 3 pyramid shaped roofs not the picnic shelters Josh Wright - 07:18pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3836 of 8457)
... Wes Evans - 07:18pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3837 of 8457)
where in the park james? Clare - 07:19pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3838 of 8457)
In the fifth? clue it mentions we have to "crack the code" I think
that there is more to crack than that clue it's self. Its
possible that the clues after that one has "codes" and thats how
we pinpoint our park.???? Josh Wright - 07:23pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3839 of 8457)
... Rob Norris - 07:24pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3840 of 8457)
have any of u come to think that it might not be in the snow. In '90 or somewhere around that it was at Highland park, in a log type thing, hanging in a tree. Oh ya by the way, way back in the park of mounds are 3 shaped pyramids that u can see down the hill about 20 feet. To me i think that it is there. what do all of u think? Josh Wright - 07:27pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3841 of 8457)
... Josh Wright - 07:30pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3842 of 8457)
i'm pretty speechless folks, sorry. Steve Cuddihy - 07:31pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3843 of 8457)
Poor Josh Rob Norris - 07:33pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3844 of 8457)
All of u r talkin about how "Rosebud" is a sled. To me the medallion is hidden in a altoid box or in a little sled key chain. And all of u r saying kids zooming is to be meant by sledding? I highly doubt it. Maybe kids zooming could be refering to a street by mounds called "Childs Road"? Josh Wright - 07:33pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3845 of 8457)
Yeah, I'm looking at a map here, ya know. And I seen lots of parks, but ders only one.
What was dat someone was sayin' about a city and county line of division? Josh Wright - 07:38pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3846 of 8457)
... Steve Cuddihy - 07:39pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3847 of 8457)
There is a "Thorn St." near Mounds Park Josh Wright - 07:42pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3848 of 8457)
.... oz - 07:43pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3849 of 8457)
clue 3 points to sledding thats easy to figure out and the double division has to with some reference near the treasure maybe a side walk or something. kollin stevens - 07:48pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3850 of 8457)
think the medallion is at cher. parknear the tree that is slpit in two, it is near the tree hidden in a rosebud box! Mama Ozzy - 07:49pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3851 of 8457)
I was out and about earlier today... At that time, there looked to be a few more people at Cherokee than at Mounds... I don't want to believe it is at Cherokee, but checked it out anyway. Got out of the van at Cherokee and walked around a bit (with shovels in hand) to see what we could see... We happened upon a spot where we were surrounded on all sides by the clues... Until the next clue comes out, I guess I would have to say Cherokee... Josh Wright - 07:50pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3852 of 8457)
Kollin>> Sounds most Logical, but the medallion is more probably in Mounds. kollin stevens - 07:51pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3853 of 8457)
Does anyone want to get together on monday and look at cher. park? kollin stevens - 07:52pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3854 of 8457)
Why would you say mounds? the pyramids? Nathan Trivette - 07:54pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3855 of 8457)
I'll look on monday between 10 and 1 tommorrow afternoon.... i have yet to be out to actually look at the 2 parks and compare em... mounds is so big though Rob Norris - 07:56pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3856 of 8457)
This is the last time im saying this. way pack in the park of mounds is a big hill going down. you can see a lot from there. Including a hotel called the "three pyramids"? just a guess but thats where i think the medallion is. Nathan Trivette - 07:56pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3857 of 8457)
think the code to be cracked (i.e.... mode,demo=dome) will be used on tonites clue or maybe its already surfaced in one of the others but i havent found anything in the previous ones resembling that.... tomski - 07:58pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3858 of 8457)
I LOST MY SHOVEL????? tomski - 08:01pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3859 of 8457)
I'VE NEVER HEARD OF A HOTEL CALLED THREE PYRAMIDS???? Patrick Budion - 08:01pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3860 of 8457)
Any vets out there? Patrick Budion - 08:02pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3861 of 8457)

How about Mr. Sax? Patrick Budion - 08:05pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3863 of 8457)
Let's bring in the big guns and talk some turkey. Allie Go - 08:06pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3864 of 8457)

could someone give me directions to mound please. im coming from hwy36 Patrick Budion - 08:07pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3866 of 8457)

could some one give me directions to mounds park Allie Go - 08:08pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3868 of 8457)
Mounds double division theory? Anyone? Patrick Budion - 08:09pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3869 of 8457)
Mr. Know it All, Wright Winger? Allie Go - 08:09pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3870 of 8457)
Hwy 35E to 94E exit Mounds Blvd, turn right...follow straight to Mounds Park Josh Wright - 08:09pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3871 of 8457)
The lines of double division might mean the B.N. & Soo Line Railroads near Mounds. ryan quinn - 08:10pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3872 of 8457)
thanks allie kgb - 08:11pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3873 of 8457)
double division @ mounds 42nd airborne division @ holman field
whatta think budo? Allie Go - 08:12pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3874 of 8457)
And the 3 pyramids? I've been in Mounds for days...no pyramids unless you call the Indian Mounds pyramids because they both are burial grounds...but they're not "over the snow." They're under it. Any thoughts? Cheryl Straight - 08:12pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3875 of 8457)
I understand why it wouldn't be just anywhere downtown, but has it ever been found in a downtown park? Allie Go - 08:13pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3876 of 8457)
I have a very sound theory for double division at Mounds, but I'm lost with the Pyramids. kgb - 08:14pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3877 of 8457)
casey r u out there gotta a q for u Allie Go - 08:15pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3878 of 8457)
Geez...I'm going to rip apart these clues...there's gotta be something more that I'm not seeing. Two Sisters - 08:15pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3879 of 8457)
Patrick - two sisters here. I wish someone would find the darn thing so I wouldn't keep being drawn back to this. What happened to CP - abandonned? Patrick Budion - 08:15pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3880 of 8457)
Allie, I think your 1st post was #145 and you thought it was Mounds. Where do you think it is now? Josh Wright - 08:16pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3881 of 8457)
Yo, Nate. Howdid you get that photo up there? I tried to do it in prefs, but had no luck. Patrick Budion - 08:16pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3882 of 8457)
I think CP is the hottest right now 2 sis. Two Sisters - 08:17pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3883 of 8457)
Allie Go - We agree. We think we're missing something in the clues - at this point they are still pretty general. What about "immeasurable riches"? Anything in that? tomski - 08:18pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3884 of 8457)
kthc: are you out there? Patrick Budion - 08:19pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3885 of 8457)
Immeasurable: could be the views from the bluff, you don't really know how far away things are. Allie Go - 08:19pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3886 of 8457)
I'm leaning towards Cherokee now..the three pyramids and the double division..and Baker Street. But my intuition says Mounds. And that might not be very good to rely on. Two Sisters - 08:19pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3887 of 8457)
Patrick - have you been out to CP today? We were there last night/early this morning. Allie Go - 08:20pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3888 of 8457)
I have no theory for immeasurable riches except Duke of Earl..bu then you've got King Street too. This guy is working us. Patrick Budion - 08:21pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3889 of 8457)
Was there all day, convinced it's there. Trying to figure out how they will hone in on the site. Any ideas? Allie Go - 08:22pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3890 of 8457)
Years ago they had a clue referring to the county line...very similar to this year's clue. Nathan Trivette - 08:22pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3891 of 8457)
PEOPLE PEOPLE!!!!! THE ROSEBUD LINE MAY REFER TO A GIANT MANSION, WHICH ALSO EXPLAINS THE IMMEASUREABLE RICHES.... AND SEE MY THEORY ON THE CODE CRACKING ON THE PREVIOUS PAGES..... tomski - 08:23pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3892 of 8457)
I think all you clueless hunters have double vision! Allie Go - 08:24pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3893 of 8457)
Okay...I just "created" my theory on immeasurable riches....the only thing that we can't measure in life is "Joy." Patrick Budion - 08:24pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3894 of 8457)
Mr. ski, help us , don't jeer us. Allie Go - 08:25pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3895 of 8457)
Geez...I think that's even biblical. Patrick Budion - 08:25pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3896 of 8457)
Joy street runs into water street below the bluff. Patrick Budion - 08:29pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3897 of 8457)
At some point they will have to use signs like "no golfing", no parking this side of street" or some other recognizable very local landmark. Allie Go - 08:29pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3898 of 8457)
My double division at Mounds is this: Mounds Street and Mounds Blvd divides up at Earl...the same point where the RR tracks divide up. Josh Wright - 08:29pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3899 of 8457)
I think we are all missing the word "almost" in clue #5. Rob Norris - 08:30pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3900 of 8457)
hey what park is this Joy and Water street by Nathan Trivette - 08:31pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3901 of 8457)
go ALLIE GO!! YOU MAY BE ONTO SOMETHING WITH THE JOY.... BUT WHAT ABOUT LOVE??? ANY STREETS WITH THAT NAME ANYONE??? Allie Go - 08:31pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3902 of 8457)
Okay..Joe...any thoughts on almost immeasurable...I'm open to anything new. Two Sisters - 08:32pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3903 of 8457)
Patrick - don't know how they will hone in on the site, but you're right, they will have to give some sort of specific location. When we were there, we tried to pick places that they could describe - at the end of Winona street in the park, between two clumps of trees, by a split tree, on a straight line with the large object in view and the pyramids. Don't know. All I can think is that it is really packed beneath the ice and snow. I wish I knew how far in advance they hide the thing. Patrick Budion - 08:32pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3904 of 8457)
Good point Josh, could be the difference between 3,000 and 4,000 dollars depending on if someone is registered. tomski - 08:33pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3905 of 8457)
Hey,KTHC,are you out there Westsiders - 08:33pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3906 of 8457)
Nathan- could you lay off the capital letters? I feel like I'm being hollered at. Thanks. Two Sisters - 08:34pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3907 of 8457)
Are the clues this year really vague, or are we missing some deep hidden meaning, such as the joy theory Allie is on to? Patrick Budion - 08:34pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3908 of 8457)
Joy and water below the bluff from Cher. Water goes past Harriet Island, but I consider that out. Amanda Huggenkiss - 08:35pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3909 of 8457)
WE'VE ALL BEEN FOOLED....SEVERAL PEOPLE HEADED TO BAKER PARK, JUST DOWN THE ROAD FROM CHEROKEE, A THREE CUP BRA WAS FOUND OVER THERE....COULD BE THE
THREE PYRAMIDS. LET'S GO! Patrick Budion - 08:36pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3910 of 8457)
I see the clues as fairly clear, don't read too deep and be patient. MEDALLION MANIACS! - 08:36pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3911 of 8457)
wasn't it "almost" immeasurable? my thought for what it's worth- perhaps medallion is clipped on back of silver tape measure-it would be hard to see in the ice Patrick Budion - 08:37pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3912 of 8457)
Good joke Amanda, at least I think it was a joke. Nathan Trivette - 08:38pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3913 of 8457)
relax westsiders.... some people!!!!!..... anyways everyone needs to keep their eyes open for another clue with words like the dome clue cuz if theres not one yet... which i havent seen, then there might be one coming tonite Allie Go - 08:39pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3914 of 8457)
Are you serious about the 3-cup bra? That's pretty far-fetched. Cheryl Straight - 08:39pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3915 of 8457)
Greenslvs2 or Black Widow, are you guys here tonight? Nathan Trivette - 08:40pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3916 of 8457)
think the PP sent amanda hugenkiss in here to throw us all off... tomski - 08:41pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3917 of 8457)
what is the dome clue Westsiders - 08:41pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3918 of 8457)
Thanks so much Nathan. Sorry if we offended. Has anyone confirmed the existence of a Hotel called "Three Pyramids"? Red DOG - 08:41pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3919 of 8457)
JayBird did you and O'll Yeller dig up anything new today ? MJ Frog - 08:42pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3920 of 8457)
MJ Frog Has Found The Log,Cant Moveit
Theres a Big Fat Hog Allie Go - 08:42pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3921 of 8457)
That's a possibility, MED, it does mean something. Westsiders - 08:42pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3922 of 8457)
Tom, read clue #4. Demo and mode are both anagrams for dome. Patrick Budion - 08:43pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3923 of 8457)
Dome is the Cathedral and it is almost in a straight line with the NSP stack and the building with the 3 pyramids. Allie Go - 08:43pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3924 of 8457)
No such thing as Three Pyramids Hotel...just checked. Nathan Trivette - 08:44pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3925 of 8457)
no hotel called 3 pyramids in the phone book.... read clue #4 (line 3) and tell me if you dont think i may be on to something.. the dome is for sure though but im still trying to find another clue that is like it.... Two Sisters - 08:44pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3926 of 8457)
Patrick - I agree, I don't think we are supposed to be reading too much into these clues such as the meaning of life or anything. Patrick Budion - 08:45pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3927 of 8457)
Allie go, you are on the go, I think it's on the river side of Cherakee Heights Drive. Two Sisters - 08:46pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3928 of 8457)
Nathan - you have a stunning resemblence of Cosmo Kramer, ha. Amanda Huggenkiss - 08:46pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3929 of 8457)
PATRICK AND ALLIE, YOU BET IT'S TRUE. WHAT'S THE DEAL
WITH PP? Nathan Trivette - 08:47pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3930 of 8457)
does anyone know if cherokee or mounds are fairly well lit at night??? Patrick Budion - 08:48pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3931 of 8457)
Amanda, I don't understand? tomski - 08:49pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3932 of 8457)
There not very well lit at all, was just there about 2 hours ago. Lee Christenson - 08:50pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3933 of 8457)
I dont know about Mounds but Cherokee is as dark as a pit tomski - 08:52pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3934 of 8457)
Dark pit - may be the next clue? Westsiders - 08:54pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3935 of 8457)
Nope. Already dug up the firepit at Cherokee. It's not in that "dark pit" CB15 - 08:54pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3936 of 8457)
Cherokee is pretty dug up already Nathan Trivette - 08:54pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3937 of 8457)
well in 2 and a half hours we will be more stumped than we are now... ive got this massive flashlight/floodlight but its dead :-( MEDALLION MANIACS! - 08:54pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3938 of 8457)
Did you know you can see the 2 domes of the capital at Cheroke CB15 - 08:55pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3939 of 8457)
Cherokee is pretty dug up already MEDALLION MANIACS! - 08:56pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3940 of 8457)
No it is,nt CB15 Patrick Budion - 08:56pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3941 of 8457)
Hey Kramer, I say all the clue is going to say is "Cherokee Park", actually spelled out and we still won't know where to dig Mama Ozzy - 08:57pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3942 of 8457)

But it will bring in all those lost folks still looking at Mounds, Ivy, Beaver, Highland etc. I'm tired. Talk to you all later. Patrick Budion - 09:13pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#3991 of 8457)

Is Baker considered a park? It is known as Baker Playground Jake Jones - 09:20pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4009 of 8457)
Hey "The Woman and I", first, am I talking to "The Woman" or "I". Second, you're obviously not looking hard enough if you can't find another park that fits all the clues! The Woman And I - 09:20pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4010 of 8457)

Catch 22 - 09:23pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4019 of 8457)
Just came from Cherokee and Mounds. Lots of people at both. I must say the people looking at Cherokee are a lot nicer! The people at Mounds must be on work release from the county jail (about that sociable) Cherokee is dug up as H**L. Whole lot of people hanging around the bathroom area. Could it be on the roof?

Jay and Greg: It is definitely at Baker. In fact, if you go exactly 56 paces toward the tower from the bathroom facilities, near the sliding hill, it should be 4 inches down. See you at midnight for a celebratory refreshment. Chris Swenke - 09:28pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4027 of 8457)

Pace= container or maybe a speed limit sign
to + fro= Teeter totter (sign with speed limmit sign at CP)

Yes PPD Brat - 09:37pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4045 of 8457)
Does anyone else think that "double division" refers to the boundaries for the city and the county that are in common? This would point to Cherokee Park but not Mounds. Poop - 09:37pm Feb 1, 1998 CST (#4046 of 8457)
