In conjunction with the KCC Summer Camp program we are launching a fun, Kensington Paths Scavenger Hunt. KCC is offering prizes to the first 10 people who turn in the correct answers by August 1st to kccrec@yahoo.com.
The Pathkeepers want to recognize hunt participants and will publish the names of all who send the correct answers. We also will schedule a special Zoom tour in August that focuses on the scavenger hunt and features interviews with participants who join the call.
The following questions can be answered by walking the Kensington paths and carefully seeking out the answers. You should wear a mask or cloth facing covering while using the paths. Please respect social distancing guidelines and be considerate of others using the paths.
Find a map of the paths on our website - kensingtonpathkeepers.org/maps - or get a printed version in our pamphlet at Raxakoul Coffee & Cheese or the Kensington Farmers' Market. Note that the two paths in red on the map are closed. It is not safe to use them, and they are not part of the scavenger hunt. The Westminster and Marchant paths are unpaved and steep, and you don’t need to go on either to answer these questions. There are 7 total paths you should visit.
1. How many steps on all the Kensington Paths?
2. Which path has the most total steps? Which path has the fewest?
3. Which paths have round utility holes about 2-feet in diameter (not including Westminster and Marchant paths)?
4. Which path has two lanes (and is therefore well suited for social distancing)?
5. Which path has the most wooden railroad ties?
6. Which paths have railings? Which do not?
7. On which path or paths can you see the Golden Gate Bridge?
8. There’s a large metal gate on the Beloit steps. Find it and tell us which animal figures you see on it. How many people are on it?
9. There’s a green sign on one of the paths. What does it ask path users to do?
10. Which path has a sign with the path name on it (not a number)?
Please send your answers to kccrec@yahoo.com. Good luck, everyone!
