Location: Gallup Park is a 69-acre park and is Ann Arbor’s most popular recreation area. It is located along the Huron River and Geddes Pond with scenic walkways that traverse small islands with bucolic pedestrian bridges. The park contains two playgrounds, a canoe livery, picnic areas and grills scattered throughout the park, two picnic shelters, open field for play, and over three miles of asphalt trails that are popular for biking, rollerblading, walking and running. Two drinking fountains and many benches allow the park user to take respite from their recreational activities. There are four parking areas: one at the main entrance off Fuller Road, two within the park along the park drive, and one further southeast on Geddes Road.
See: http://www.ci.ann-arbor.mi.us/CommunityServices/Parks/Parkdescriptions/Gallup/gallup.pdf for a map of the park. Located at 3000 Fuller Rd, Ann Arbor, 48105 - (734) 662-9319.
Story:
Rose always knew she was different than everyone else. She just never quite fit in. It wasn’t her appearance that caused the problem -- she was very pretty. It wasn’t her personality. She was fun and smart and nice and loved to laugh. She didn’t have a bad attitude or socially unacceptable habits or come from the “wrong side of the tracks.” No, the problem was... well... Rose didn’t smell right. Her friends and family would be chatting away to her, the wind would shift, and suddenly their noses would wrinkle and they would begin backing away from her. They would suddenly remember that they had an urgent appointment that they had completely forgotten until that very second. Rose’s kinder friends advised her to see a doctor; those who were less kind suggested maybe a bath would be the solution.
Finally, after years of being an outcast for her odor, Rose decided to leave. “I will go somewhere where they don’t run in terror when they catch a whiff of me!” So she packed her suitcase, grabbed her passport, and left. Rose spent a long time wandering from place to place, trying to fit in. And while most people didn’t think she smelled bad, she still did have a distinct scent. “I can’t be happy until I find a place to live where everybody smells just like me,” she thought.
And finally, one day she stopped in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Tired, she rested by the Huron River until she noticed something behind her. Something, in fact, that smelled very like she did....
Where did Rose end up? Here is how to find her... and why she didn’t “smell right” to her family!
Clues:
Enter the park at the Fuller Road entrance. Park in the second lot beyond the one lane bridge.
Beginning at the lot, walk through the play area. Find footprints to your right. Continue walking in the same direction, past the prints. Either path at the fork. At the “x” head towards Hikone, Shiga, Japan and continue on by. Continue on over and across three sets of wood and land. During the third cycle, stop and drink in the silence. Cross one final wood to return to the black. Follow the arrow to stay on the correct path. Head towards the third bench. Rest with Christine, you’re almost there! Continue on as before. Stop with the birds and bugs. Pass under the arbor. Find the gap at a heading of 116 from the four stages sign. Head in. Rose lives near a log, under some twigs.
BE CAREFUL! This is a busy area and Rose is quite shy. And, of course, be sure to stop and enjoy the area that made Rose feel like she finally fit in.
To get back to your car, continue in the direction you were orginally headed. You will have to walk over the one lane bridge to loop around.
