As in Ford Parkway?? What?

Ford parkway?

Though I do think there is an insinuation that ittiz near a golf course because of the warning to stay off of it. I do not recall a time when they had that as part of the clues and there was not a golf course in the park.

Time will tell!

I tried to see if the first letter of each line of Clue #1 would make a word or two, but I don't see anything.

Terry - hmm, could be, on the other hand, more than one park usually gets dug on, so they could be protecting areas nowhere near the hiding spot. I still need an INCANTATION to empower my magic Frisbee.

HELP!!

Eags, I appreciate you wishing to help ease the tension of waiting... However I wish you'd find a way that's more conducive to allowing air to be taken into my lungs so that I mite breathe. I'm only thankful I had not a mouthful of some liquid when I read your last attempt to help. Else I'd not be able to see my monitor at this moment due to aforementioned liquid having been spewed on it...

The gate thing might be significant. Thanks for sharing!

What is the name of the road that goes into the park...the one off of Wheelock. Does it have a name?

Sun, 01/24/1999 - 11:10 PM Permalink
Terry

That's the Phalen Road I'm wondering about....not Ford Pkwy.

I can't wait for the next clue in a few minutes!

Terry

No....that's the cross street - main road - hiway 61 that goes past the Phalen golf course on the west side. There is the road that you turn off of Wheelock further east than Arcade that takes you into the park and also to the club house for the golf course.

If you go North on Arcade and turn right on Wheelock Parkway, Wheelock is at a 45 degree angle to Arcade. Sort of. But there is another right turn you can make that is at a 90 degree angle to Arcade. Terry, is that the street to which you are referring?

Farther into the park, Earl Street intersects with the roadway that goes along the lake, which I think is *still* Wheelock.

Clue No. 2:

Flying downhill can be quite a thrill And a popular outdoor attraction But your chances of winning are nil If you get too close to the action

Eags - No.

There is a road that going east down Wheelock, past Arcade, that you must turn left on to get into the park. That is the road. That is the road that is often gated closed at night.
