Wow, just heard from K-Team-he sent me a picture of his motorcycle under a
semi and said he walked away from it after a SUV swerved in his lane.
Amazing and we talked about something like that on the way back today.

 

On the night cache, the ones we did you did in your car.  It really got us
confused as the cache page did not tell you this.  We ended up searching in
the woods and giving up only to figure it out when we say more reflectors.
Here is the cache: GC19ZGY.  They had reflectors on telephone poles and you
could see them from your car.

 

What I want to do is first have people follow reflectors in their car and
then get them to a parking lot where they then follow reflectors on foot.
So what I am looking for is a place to lead them too that would be safe and
good for a short walk to the final.  So any suggestions or if this will not
work in Forest Park, any suggestions for another place to set it up?

Sniper will probably chime in on this, but he said something about the park
is open 24 hours for cars but closed after dark (not sure the exact time) to
pedestrians, bike riders, etc. I'm sure in some cases they wouldn't say
anything if you were out for a walk or a jog but this gives them a reason to
stop and question you if need be.

That was my thinking to Andrew.  Some places like the planetarium and
science center are okay, but the rest of the park I'd have my druthers.

-
The only issue I see is the hours you're allowed to be walking around
the park.  If it's cool to be there late in the night, I'd love to see
one there.
 
Granted, there are also safety reasons.  Would someone even *want* to
be in FP at night?
