The following clues use aviation terminology. If you've passed ground school all of this will be crystal clear. Don't worry if you don't have a license, our ground control clues will talk you through. So read carefully sometimes what you think will be right will leave you going in the wrong direction..."ALL CLEAR" You're ready to TAKE OFF! (SITE HAS BEEN CLEARED - BOXES ARE ACTIVE 7/2007 WITH NEW CARVED STAMPS)

.5 mile walk. Flat terrain.

It is prohibited to walk on a real airport and the airport is secured with fencing and razor wire. Our imaginary airport is located in the center of a paved walking path. So start your engines it is time to take off and land.

A pilot named Douglas and his dog MIC were flying east from Maple Grove along 94 and turned right on 81 heading south then left on 63rd to enter a right base for runway 14. Douglas saw the four red lights of the VASI and turned right toward his dog's namesake. On short final out his right window he saw the circular track in the middle of a large field.

He turned right on 62nd to a full stop at Florida and South Brook where he decided to take a walk in a right hand pattern around the patch of our imaginary airport past the large blue spruce goose spreading its wings before the tree with five fingers. Continue around the patch.

Box 1.
NOTE - THE IMAGINARY AIRPORT REMAINS TO HIS RIGHT as he enjoys a pleasant non-turbulent walk past commercial buildings to his left as MIC leads him around and on 36 downwind to a break in the trees and old select tree planting. An abandoned control tower lies off to the east in a large pine tree with a red no smoking sign high above. From the control tower take a heading south past three large pine trees then go two trees west. In the long deep wound of the willow you must be brave and reach in MIC's forgot his old bone.

Box 2.
If you look back to the airport to watch a few landings you will see a giant tree who hides another bone at its north base. Please hide this one carefully as this is an urban area with lots of traffic.
