IMO, and my opinion only - I have always felt the girls went Brovan, to the corner of River Forest, took a right up to Lafayette, rode down to the trail from there, stopped at Fareway and asked directions to the lake (at which they would have likely told them to just stay on the path until you come to the lake).
Once they maybe got to the skate park, they realized they kind of "knew where they were" but didn't stay on the trail?? Or maybe they DID stay on the trail all the way to the back of the lake where their bikes were found.???
This is where it gets kind of sketchy for me as to which way they would have gone. They could have hung a right at the skate park (on Gilbert) which too, would have taken them to the front part of the lake (by the parking lot) - which, didn't we hear from LE they were spotted closer to that area in the 1ish timeframe? (I need to refresh, as I've been scouring from the beginning and only on thread 8. UGH) This would also account for the claimed sighting of the girls going "east" on the trail...from the parking lot around to the back.
Or, they could have turned onto Gilbert from the skate park and got as far as Lake Ave and took it down - which would have accounted for the Carpenter's sighting...and ran right into Arbutus and the backside of the lake - which could account for the cut through in that grassy area, maybe?
I am only considering this route as likely because of a completely unsubstantiated rumor (which I am taking to be true) that the girls hit them up for directions behind Fareway - and the fact that they said the girls were riding "AWAY" from the lake (whatever that meant) and also the mention of ATM footage from the bank that sits on the corner of Lafayette and S. Evans.
So my theory (to summarize) is Brovan, Right on River Forest Road, Right on Lafayette, and then right on either S. Evans down to the lake, or Evansdale Trail down - from there there are several twists, turns, and roads they could have taken and still landed at the back of the lake while riding around.
