I'm here now guys. The token is missing. I found where the guy that was here this morning had been digging in the grumpy looking tree on pg.65. I talked to the Ranger, and he said that it is illegal to hide something in an Iowa state park without notifying the ranger. This might be why it is missing.
Oh, the key to the puzzle on page 66 - I posted that yesterday but then removed it as soon as I figured out the answer. I may have given it away by posting it here, just like I originally intended (before I figured out the puzzle). Which, by the way, you read the dots from the stem outwards. If you do it right, you will get an easy anagram of Anita S.P. picnic area - which means that you will see things like AASP....ICNICAERA.
Omnicognic - you may have been right. If I had left right away, I would have beaten the other guy here. But on the other hand, the token was already missing. So I'm not sure if I would have been kicking myself or not.
PEGGY - thanks a bunch for talking me to me during the drive. and giving me hope. and keeping me informed - especially that.
Thanks to all of you that wished me well. I really appreciate your support on this.
Ern.
