West Minnehahah Pkwy is the street my son lives on. It runs parallel to the lake with a walking path and bike path between the street and the lake.

Edit: Oops! I thought you asked about W. Lake Harriet Parkway. :confused: Disregard the above. :pbpt:

What do you want to know about W. Minnehaha Pkwy?

If anyone does go to Como, I am thinking that the fish farting thing refers to the aerator in the lake.

I know some about the Parkway that runs from Minnehaha Falls down towards the west side of Minneapolis. Towards the falls, the parkway actually diverts separate from the parkland that surrounds the creek. It meets up again more on the west side of Lake Nokomis.

Weaver Lake Park public access as well located on the west side of Weaver lake. Thats where the boat ramp is located.

I think we're going to have these in the bag.... but thats just me. Most people in the world don't have the time to hunt during the day.

We make time.

We have a lot of lurkers on this board though. I see them here everyday, but they don't help out and post. :eyeroll:

yeah but we all start out as lurkers!

I don't mind lurkers. So long as they step up or step out after a bit of time.

That's true. I started out on the twincities.com site that way. I guess that's how you learn the thought process of noodling clues. YOU OBSESS!!! :ooh: :wink:

For the record -

OTiS was never a lurker :cool:

2 be honest...I haven't seen any lurkers...

I don't think I have anything new to add.. most anything I woulda said was said twice or so by now. Hmm...

for the record....

regular crew members such as THX1138...dont' count as lurkers.....

alot of people don't care about smaller hunts.

Update From Tim and Big G from "the field":

"The mouse is better at hiding than we are at vision".

That is all.....

I honestly don't expect any of the hunts to end for at least a few more days. They're just starting to narrow down areas.

I'm going to take the boys over to a little spot I'm wondering about.

I was going to check out the distance around Harriet/Calhoun area when I got home because I had done some research on the history of the trains/streetcars in that area yesterday..but it looks like CM and OT have done the rest of my homework! drat! but thanks! :cool:

It's Minnehaha, duh! But I'm not there.

Maybe you were in the right park, CM. Maybe that clue is referring to the zoo that was at Minnehaha but was moved to Longfellow Gardens.

Only looking at you sweetie. If you weren't there we could cover all kinds of ground. :eyeroll:

Actually - did you guys take a walk into the bird sanctuary? It was a nice walk back in there. Besides, there's no way either of you could keep up with me. :wink:

That's why you see me by myself a lot of the time. :chagrin:

tim_the_hunter

ummm, Brad how many treasures have you found? I have personally found one. I think you have found one too...

that's 2 more than little miss G talking smack over there.

tim_the_hunter

I'm hoping they narrow one of these mice down early. Then slowly the other ones fall into place. I think if you find the first one you have a huge advantage to get another.

I'd be really dissapointed if one of us doens't get one of these damn mice!

You'd have to be pretty special to find a mouse in Maple Grove since there isn't one there.
