Correct Joe. When I say "culvert" I'm referring to what's commonly called the bridge to campus. Technically, it's not a bridge because the only water flowing beneath is through a grated pipe that carries Stumpf Lake overflow into Upper Gemini Lake. The water next to the pipe is only ankle- to knee-deep. A person crossing the bridge and falling down the culvert might get knocked out if he bumps his head on the shallow rocks, but wouldn't disappear from sight in the inches-deep water in the unlikely event of a drowning. In fact, he would more likely wash up in plain sight against the grate. Your memory is accurate about the parking lot. It used to be quite poorly lit, especially toward the tennis court area surrounded by dense shrubbery that Josh would have had to pass on his way to Maur. The location of the parking lot is at the confluence of the only three exit routes from campus: south along CR 159 toward the back way out of campus; north on CR 159 to I-94; or west along Fruit Farm Road. All-in-all, a good location for a quick getaway in any of three possible directions (and no surveillance cameras at the time). Your observations are perceptive. I wouldn't waste my time looking for Josh on campus either.
