White Bear Lake's was decent, at least the clues got you to the right park, they just overdid themselves on the hide.

I thought from the earlier conversation that I would get done slogging and see it had been found.
So I know of one freeway that wasn't finished as a freeway...and I sorta remember another one that was supposed to be another bypass of the cities like the 494-694 one is...but I don't know if I can get that to relate to my park.
The other freeway canceled was the 335.
in any case... whats near there? Duluth & Case Rec? anything else?
Interstate 335 was planned as an additional bypass of the Twin Cities; that road was never built. It would have connected I-35W north of downtown Minneapolis westward to I-94 to ease congestion on the Lowry Hill Tunnel on I-94 (but studies later showed that the new freeway would actually have put more traffic in the tunnel). The eastern terminus of I-335 was to be where the Johnson St exit is now on I-35W north of downtown Minneapolis, and the interchange design there is unusual for a surface street, indicating that I-335 did get off the ground slightly before being killed in the 1970s.
blah... i've been reading this thing for too long....
crap... its 9:30... I missed dinner....
now I'm going to eat dinner.
Mucky took some pictures. Hopefully she'll be able to post 'em later.
Thanks, Allison, for a good hunt. I'm looking forward to seeing all the explanations.
There is disappointment it was found.
There is satisfaction in knowing I noodled that park first.
of course, if you know where to look.....
Joe!
I didn't pick up on the GZBO. That was interesting.
And the mummy thing - wrapped in bandages was also clever.
I wish I coulda gone out tonight, but I had homework I had to do tonight. At least I was close the last couple days.
Congratulations, again, to the finders!
SCDs!
