I was at the binocs last night. There is a lot of snow left but it seems that any good hiding places had been dug up.

We were just out at Cherokee near the binocs/High Bridge. Noone else was out there and there was lots of undisturbed snow. Passersby stopped to insist that it was at Lynwood and then Crosby. Anyone heard anything along those lines?

Dr. S. Livingston

Too many parks fit the clues. I know some are a reach but they can fit. It will be a surprise to find out what park it is in.

my brother said that there are three pyramids on the jungle gym at lynwood and the smoke stack is very much in sight but had no idea on the double division

Dr. S. Livingston

Mounds isn't out, in fact I think it may be way in. The clues are vague enough for it.

Crosby is about as "low ground" as you can get. Anyone else been to check out that less travelled area of Cherokee?
