The jump was torn down years ago. It stood at the extreme south end of White Bear Avenue.

does anyone have any ideas on the iconoclast? i know it means a non believer, so does that just mean it's not near a church?

Hey Gold Digger, I grew up two blocks from there. Don't tell me what's not in the park. That is the

ORIGINAL portion of Battle Creek Park.

To answer one question, how come I'm not out looking for it right now? I'd like to be, and was for a while, but have bad asthma and am lucky if I can stay in the

cold for more than hour. I do plan on going out again tomorrow if its not too late. To answer another question, it has not been in this park before according to the list

of hiding places on the CoolerCrew sight. As for the question of where is it. Just coming out and saying it is no fun.

If you drive to the end of White Bear Avenue, the jump was directly ahead at the end of the road. It

sloped to the left, onto a VERY steep hill. This hill ends up in a deep valley, through which Battle Creek flows.

To the right is Highway 61, the left goes to Upper Afton Road.

Cant think of anything translucent nearby. It's very dark there at night. Quite wooded. I wondered

about that area early in the hunt, but not so sure anymore.

N DREW - On Iconoclast, I think you're definition is a bit slim. It's NOT just a non believer, it's more general than that. More like someone who goes against

traditional ideas, destroys images ... look in a dictionary or thesaurus

...'course Eye hasn't lived near there for over ten years (am 350 miles away right now!) For all Eye

knows, they built a Target store there now!

transluesent peak? The only thing I can come up with is the new spot lights they have on the Wabasha bridge. But they are out half the time and outside of Plato I

can find any good answers to the other clues for Harriett Island.

no church iconoclast is someone who going agian all reason goes against the grain that's why when they say A park is the spot but a golf course is not means thing of

it in a different way because in clue 4 studing the past is there for us to go back to the previous clues and if you're will to be an iconoclast sooo it is telling you it will

be in a park with a golf course

believe they put "a golf course is not" is so you dont rip up a golf course looking for it. there may be a golf course or not, but one year they hid it on a

golf course and people tore it up, so they will never put it on a golf course again.
