Sometimes you need to read between the lines, Smashy.

Either you fail at reading my humor. Or I fail at funny.

I got the humor, but you've still given me no indication that you realized that the post in question WAS A FREAKIN' CLUE.

Do I need to beat you with the clue stick?

No it was trying to point out that your clue DOESN'T help!

Umgawa said your clue only made him think of "Carnegie Hall". As in "How do you get to Carnegie Hall?" Answer, "Practice, practice, practice."

You fail at clues. :P

Yeah, I didn't get the clue until after I found the park, digging through a massive Google search for parks without wave-pools, with water slides, with kiddie pools, and a lazy river, all in areas covered exclusively under Europa Technologies on Google Earth. I suppose I could have just sang, "Can you tell me how to get..." to myself, but, again, that didn't become apparent until later.

It's late, though, and I have to take a bath with my rubber duckie before going to work. It's raining outside, though, and it would be really nice if something would sweep the clouds away.

Wouldn't be a good game if it was easy....

You're not going to formalize that answer and come back with a shot of your own, Umgawa?

And here we have a golf course, a former prison, and someplace where it's apparently a federal case if you make a wrong turn.

EDIT: Only took me four tries to get this to work right. God, I've been out of this whole forum thing for a long time.

I'll guess to get another clue, although I suspect the better players (steampunk, angelbaby) don't need one.

Paradise Island, the Bahamas. I'm pretty sure this isn't it, but Google Maps produced me a picture of a clouded island so I need to rule it out.

Close in name, if not geography. This location hasn't been a prison in 140 years, though.

Rock Island (Arsenal Island), IL

Home to Rock Island Arsenal, largest government-owned weapons manufacturing arsenal in the United States...no wrong turns near there!

During the Civil War, Arsenal Island was home to a Confederate prison camp, the Rock Island Prison Barracks and the cemetery where a total of 1,964 Confederate Prisoners and 125 Union Guards are buried.

Yes, indeedy. Well, thankfully, my turn is over now, so I'll just go back to doing whatever it is I do.

It was a good puzzle. I hope you hover around and join us once in a while.
