I think they dropped in in melted snow (water) while we had that heat wave just before the hunt and then when it got subartic again we now have ice. Are there any parks that have had any sort of excavating in the past Gravel, sand, something?
"The Prime Meridian is the meridian (line of longitude) at which the longitude is defined to be 0°.
The Prime Meridian and its opposite the 180th meridian (at 180° longitude), which the International Date Line generally follows, form a great circle that divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres."
"Step off" is also a carpentry term."You step off the length...etc." for every 12-inch step in a common rafter, a hip rafter has a 17-inch step. This could relate to a house and clue 2 also mentions steps and doorsteps. Must be some kind of house somewhere or reference to one?
"prime location is quite simply a position that is first in excellence, quality and value. Every astute property buyer is aware that the key to a great property investment is location, location, location."
"Why would you show yourself playing with an upside-down blow-up doll then beat the crap out of it in a restroom, then show an owl? There has to be a reason."
From the path, pace off the yet-to-given number of steps to The Med (the resting place being the prime location) which is in a frozen chunk of ice (that at one time was was water).
What gets me about this clue is what Terry alluded to - can't see the paths for the snow cover. So I'm thinking The Clue Writer either has Mappy's book, or somewhere on can get/view a map, like at the Parks' site.
Also, the path could be a public sidewalk (which would already be cleared, but that's neither to or fro.)
Finally the clue! I woke up half hour early today to noodle the clue only to wast 23 minutes of it wasting my time reading about whether or not its at the fair grounds. WTH!
Goodnight and SCDs!
This may be the year for snowblowers. :wink:

This one makes my head hurt....
The math and Prime location (number) could be two parallel lines = and 11 or something else odd

"water to ice" = 32 degres

To me this says its on frozen water ie a lake, stream, or pond.

do the math -- water to ice. [32 F].
Prime location could be Mississippi River Blvd.
Ice vultures hang from the bluffs on both sides of the river.
I like the way you reached 32 and I think it works. Fits.
He was renowned for steadfastness of purpose.
