OK, I'll bite, what issues?
[edit]I see User:Enigmaman added the tag indicating there are issues with this article. It's clearly notable, so I'm not sure which the issue under discussion might be. dm (talk) 04:10, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
- Ok, I see one. By removing the sentence about it might be possible to arrange a visit, Enigamaman left the reference for that assertion dangling. dm (talk) 04:20, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
The Riker Art Park link does not exist yet, that was the next article I was working on. On the other hand, I'll stop for now. dm (talk) 04:20, 9 March 2009 (UTC)Created dm (talk) 04:59, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
- Hmm, Enigmaman changed the tag from "issues" to "wikify". I'm not sure how to respond since there are 11 functioning wiki links in the main body of the text. dm (talk) 04:59, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Visited site
[edit]Following the trail indicated on the official Riker Hill Park map, I parked at the top of the hill near an art studio. I walked past the old radar platform, through the open gate, and down the steep hill on the stabilized trail. When you're at the bottom, the trail leads to an apartment complex where you take the left fork, following the faded blue blazes, the trail is a bit overgrown but still easily walkable. When you reach the cairn of rocks, turn left and you'll see thousands of slate pieces. A geology class was there when we arrived, and they showed us one of the only remaining dinosaur tracks, underneath a boulder. Still a fascinating area though, well worth a visit and the 15 minute walk. dm (talk) 14:24, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
