The quest

Sheldon's Lookout faces the last light south-west of centre, Toronto. The quest is standing still until three lights stay on after the sun.

Steps

  1. Arrive at Sheldon's Lookout twenty minutes before sunset. Stay on public ground — not a bike lane, not a road deck.
  2. Watch until the disk is gone. Name three lights that stay on.
  3. Leave the way you came. Do not climb railings or cut through private docks.

Why this is on the board

Sheldon's Lookout is one of the spots south-west of centre, Toronto where Toronto actually faces the sky. You get the last colour of the day and a few minutes of standing still a patio will not sell you.

Safety. Public ground only. Map data goes stale — if a rail, hour, or closure disagrees, leave. Not a guided tour.
