Hatch ends just south of McMurray.

Inks mentioned that park earlier. Lynhurst splits to go around the park. That's why you'd have the east and west Lynhurst I guess.

Amtrak is nearby - but certainly not visible. I wonder if there is a railroad bridge though that might be visible from there.

That park is nestled in a residential area - big homes and apartment buildings - so it's not easy to see too much.

The dining and cooking could be Porky's that would be visible from the park.

I might have been on it? I never got out of the West Side today, and I don't mean Cherokee. Had a lot to do today and never got to any parks.

I've been thinking about Iris because AW loves that park. I am not sure I can get looking glass to fit. It would require me getting in my car and looking and I really can't hunt. Anyway, I guess there are bridges of a sort on University. The Amtrack is right there. There is food right there. If it was by the Amtrak station, porter would make sense. The porter is who hauls the the luggage around.

Hmmm, sounds like people are coming up with more parks instead of fewer ones.

Outdoor setting having biscuits and tea could also equal Porky's since you eat outside there.

Agreed, interesting how that often happens..

Which would be a bad thing if you guys already have the right park. Or it could be a good thing if you don't. hehe

I think I could've been at the right park on the first day

I like Lewis Park because of the whole Alice In Wonderland theme with the clues. But then I worry that maybe that's too obvious.

it has on the THG page:
bakko's bend..not
bangstads bogey
angry jack pass
couple-o-chicks by george
tee in woods-no name
popke pepper
mad mackey
mr big porterhouse
All these are listed on the page and sound like something from alice in wonderland. The road makes an X by the bridge near the memorial for dead vetrans, disk golf etc. also off "ham"line Ave

Prominent can also mean jutting out beyond the line surface of something. Like a rock formation. Or a big nose.

As I understand it, an unJoe is any number other than the ones ordinarily considered Joe's. This for instance is an unJoe.

Yes, if it stands out among the others.

I think we need to stop the hunt. If the Cheshire Cat can disappear in the blink of an eye, I would think it would disappear to the Bahamas instead of staying in some cold, snowy place waiting to be found.

Alice’s adventure had begun before she saw the rabbit run=

started on a bank in wonderland or started with the prior book

In an outdoor setting having some biscuits and tea.

tea in woods #6 par3 in highland disk golf

Go now and don’t be late for your very important date

???

Dining and cooking you’ll find figure most prominently

highland disk golf has papke pepper/mad mackey/ big porterhouse hole markers/HAMline Ave

Made Alice ask for a dictionary from the porter.

big porterhouse?

But when he gave her a tome as big as a home

prominate figure from the bank by picnic area?site clue?

She asked if there was any way to make it shorter

a bridge??

The March Hare and Mad Hatter each grabbed a platter

disk golf with mad mackey/angry jack (rabbit) pass holes

And offered Alice a cup with all their usual glee.
“You make it quite well, what’s your secret, do tell?”
“We simply gather up the rain and stir in the tea!”

snowball with leaves around it?

Alice was curious to know, which way she should go

giving us a direction to go?

When she saw the Cheshire Cat and smiled to herself

any anagram here in "smiled to herself"??

He just gave her a grin, and then disappeared again
Saying, “Look for me near a road that crosses itself.”

Edgecumbe Rd makes a cross by the bridge
