If it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, and acts like a duck- have sex with it...it's the only real way to tell.....

Battle Creek area take a rigt off of Upper Afton by the elementary school. The Rec Center is next to the big sliding hill by the old ski jump. I think it's considered "Battle Creek Park still there. It's away from all of the trees and lots of skiing---anyone along with me?

Inside me a voice was repeating this phrase: "You've lost it, you'll never get out of this maze."

Destiny, conventional wisdom says it's someplace with a rec center. Usually a building where they hold activities, sometimes have concessions, rent equipment, the like. OF COURSE, the clue writer could have something else in mind. I don't think so, but it's a possibility...

Its funny how this clue didn't narrow down the location, it made us more confused and now even more parks are added to the list!

That's true. I forgot about Forest....and what's the street behind there...south of the rec center?

I like BC. IT has a big parking lot by the new rec center, and you can park on the street all along winthrop.

My gut reaction is that this is clue 5 and we still don't have a clue (pardon the pun). That usually means BIG park.



diggergirl - 11:38pm Jan 23, 2002 CST (#16488 of 24973)  Mark Reply

I think it might be at Duluth & Case Rec Center. There is a radio antena to the SW horizon and a digital tower to the south. It has only one parking lot on the Norht side. There is also a Jenks (Junk)Ave... Does anyone know if there is a junk yard nearby?

I don't think any of these are called ____ ____ Park and Rec Center

But a building at a park could be a Park and Rec Center.

Maybe it only makes sense to me, but I think I've seen that.

OK- Here are my thoughts. This is a new one nobody has come up with. Tell me if I'm smokin' something. Clue # 2 -work your brain,your legs...if you have some time to kill. What do you do if you have some time to kill? Take a k(napp). Knapp street and Hillside Ave surround Langford Rec Center. Oh, By the way, you can see KSTP Tower from the hockey rinks and there is a elementary school on the premises! Anyone think this could be an option?

tim....i also have BC on my list still. I will go out looking tomorrow to confirm or not, some of my suspicions...it's too late now and I have to work tomorrow. But, keep the previous clues in mind, people. There are a ton of parks with park n rec centers with no hills/slides/woods....rule those out.

Focus...I have to go to bed...night all. Thanks Frost for the clue.

    Ivy! That's it. Couldn't think of that street name.

    You're right about Langford. No lot. Hard to remember that. The last time it was there, parking was not an issue. Hardly anyone ever got out there to dig. It was as if most people didn't know it existed.
