Yes, but they could have easily gotten on the trail at Arbutus, IMO, so why bike over to Elmer?
But as other posters have kindly pointed out, bathrooms and a water fountain are located at the end of Elmer, so maybe that is why they rode over there.
Boat on a trailer, camper, horse trailer, motorcycle trailer, pick-up with a tonneau cover...I dunno
Okay...at 12:23 they were sighted at Brovan going West toward River Forest.
At 12:30 to 1:00 they were sighted at Gilbert, Elmer, and Arbutus.
So, did they go West, turn down River Forest all the way to Gilbert, turn left on Gilbert, turn right on Elmer (for a drink/pee/play) go back up Elmer to Gilbert going East and turn down to Arbutus.?
At the intersection of River Forest..if you turn East it is Gilbert. If you turn West, it goes to Deerwood Park...camping, etc.
MOO
don't forget the paddleboat and the mobility scooter....

http://www.press-citizen.com/articl...ils-released-last-sighting-missing-Iowa-girlsRick Abben, chief deputy of the Black Hawk County Sheriff’s Department, said officials have information that the girls were seen at approximately 12:23 p.m. on Brovan Boulevard, near Collins’ house, and then between 12:30 and 1 p.m. on Gilbert Drive near Meyers Lake.
The Des Moines Register spoke with an Evansdale resident in July who lives near Meyers Lake who said he saw Lyric, 10, and Elizabeth, now 9, riding their bikes near his home that afternoon.
Officials previously had reported only that the girls were last seen by their grandmother riding their bikes near the Collins home at about 12:15 p.m.
The bicycles and Collins’ purse were found along a recreation trail on the south side of the lake about 4 p.m. that day. Now police are asking anyone who was in the area of Arbutus Avenue, Gilbert Drive or Elmer Avenue that day who may have seen the girls or anyone else to contact authorities.
Why is it so important which way they went? We go over this till the horse has died multiple times. <modsnip>
guys.. isn't the dock that they dismantled also at the end of elmer (that is if you keep going from Elmer until you hit the lake)

I guess I forgot the roller skates, skate board, and ice skates.

Bingo! Meyers Lake was not the intended destination. It was the Phil Muehl Memorial Skate Park. Does anyone know if the skate park has a bathroom or water fountains?
Nursebeeme: I think you may be right about the grass witness and the area just beyond.
SapphireSteel: Agreed, staging would/could explain dogs. Dogs look for girls scent. girls scent would be all over the bikes, hence the area around the grassy knoll and nearby wooded spot may have been where the bikes were taken through to get them to spot on trail where found. Explaining alleged dog scent/hits.
The girls at the lake has never felt right to me. I am not saying it is impossible because it is just as possible they were there. but that has never felt right for me. I have always thought the bikes were staged and not left there by the girls themselves.
