Where does Mystery Lake connect with Pleasant Valley?

[Gary Childress]

It says in the game that Mystery Lake connects to Pleasant Valley. Does anyone know where that connection is? I've found the connections to Forlorn Muskeg and Coastal Highway but can't find the other connection.

You have to go through the lower dam and out to Winding River. If you go away from the dam on the river and then take the second to last right turn then over the hill from the river to the other stream. If you keep following it on your left is a cave. That cave takes you to Pleasant Valley.

How do you get back to Mystery Lake once you exit the back door of the dam? It appears to be a one way door. Once you go out it doesn't open to let you back in.

There is another way back in - don't want to spoil anything but have a good look around - look high and low :)

Well, I give up. I've combed the whole area and don't see any way back to Mystery Lake from the other side of the dam. Can you give me a hint?

If you still haven't found it yet, let this be your guide:

Your way shall be fraught with peril, the tiniest slip could send you hurtling to your death. Blocked by rock and ice, look not for open doorways; a fool's errand, indeed. A source of light on bright, sunny days to give warmth to interiors, a view of the world without to those within. Fluffy clearly knew the way! She might have stopped for a meal before breaking in. Did you stop to say, "Hello?"

Did you ever get the feeling you want to jump off the dam? You know you will die so that won't work but those feeling persist.

honestly, exploration followed by discovery is one of the sweetest most rewarding aspects of the game - i really wouldn't want to deprive you of this. You are close...........

Since no one else gave a direct answer,

When at the dam that dosen't let you go back in, turn right and walk across the dam. seriously, there's a small ledge where you can walk across to another side. once you're on that side, head towards the dam up the snowbank into the broken window. this will take you back into the break room where you can travel back up into the upper dam.

[[DOLT]Braidedheadman]

Well, all he did ask for was a hint, not a direct answer, after all...

He hasn't been back to report on his progress since, however. He's probably either moved on, found his way, or became Fluffy or one of her friend's new favorite chew toy.

Ik, but I just wanted to give him a direct answer incase he couldn't find a way through the hints above.

[[DOLT]Braidedheadman]

Yeah, I suppose it would not have been humane to let him freeze out there on that porch! :p

At any rate, I thought my metaphor-laced hints would have provided a pretty decent road map for anyone wanting to work out the problem linguistically, if not practically. :D

[JiffyPopKids]

Hopefully, lol. he's got to find it now with all these hints. xD (Oh btw, if you wana talk, add me and let's PM. I don't think the mod(s)? like us doing smallchat on the fourms)

[Gary Childress]

I appreciate the help I did walk across the ledge on the face of the dam and wander around on the other side a bit but somehow must have missed the open window. I'll try it again.

Thanks again.

I'm still dilly dallying in Mystery Lake. Once resources start to get low there I'll try the dam or else the Ravine to go to Coastal Highway. I have a parallel game going starting out at Coastal Highway and so far I've explored probably half the huts and still haven't found a hatchet.

Hatchets tend to be outdoors stuck into wooden things (not generally just trees though) or clung to by dead people, rather than strewn about indoors like most items.
