    Come on lucky clue #5!!

    I think I've seen some very valid point toward Highland - especially liked Tim's (I think!) Hill-and/Highland noodle!! I just can't be stuck on any *one* park,....yet.

    Looks like I might make it till it comes out tonight :smile:. I'd set the alarm on my cell last night, and slept right through it!

    Red-letter means simply 'memorable or important, esp. in a happy or favorable way'.

    The expression comes from the long-established practice of using red ink to indicate holy days in ecclesiastical calendars. A red-letter day--literally a day written in red letters--was a holy day, or church festival, and thus came to mean 'any memorable or happy day'.

    Red letter meaning 'a red letter that indicates a holy day on a calendar' dates at least to the fifteenth century; the expression red-letter day is first found in the early 1700s.

    As I said before, I think the clue writer wants us at Highland, where I think after this clue its within view of the 3M building.

    Do you know the origin and meaning of the term "red-letter day"? The term is currently used as a title on the Pet Shop Boys' latest album, and is frequently used by television newsreaders in reference to a particularly favorable occurrence.

    On the other hand, the only single red letter I can think of is at 3M.

    could trees be reference to street names instead of woods. Maybe a little misdirection here.

    Being aerobic, and not afraid of trees.....Hmmm - there's a ton of biking/jogging paths going through Battle Creek...and I bet you might even be able to see that 3M building.

    (I know, I know.....I'm really stuck on that park this year for some reason....)

    I dont think you can see the 3m building from Highland but you can from Battle creek
