Well I have spent most of my free time this weekend googling deep in to Gales I.D. I have came up with some odd and coincedental things.

I started out with what Henry Gales I.D. read-

Henry Gale
815 Walnut Ridge Rd
Wayzata MN
55391

For a general idea of where this could be, I went to my google maps program. Then I combed over Wayzata and the surrounding area. These are some of the things that I found...

Charley lake. Roseville. White Bear lake. Hugo. Lake Johanna, the woman who drowned. St. Catherine lake which is Kates full name

Brothers GALE- 11812 WAYZATA Blvd
Brothers Gale? I think it's some kinda company.

Coincedence or fate?

You never know. I think Blackbird may be correct in saying someone, one of the writters..., grew up in that area. But it does seem crazy that there are so many connections.

As far as the rest of the ID, it looks pretty legit. I haven't been able to get a screenshot myself, but i've seen a couple of them, and nothing else seems out of the ordinary. Someone in another forum is suggesting that it is a fake ID due to the ID # under Henery's picture. On regular ID's, (for most states), the first letter of your ID# begins with the first letter of your last name. This has been cleared up. The newer Minnesota ID#'s begin with a random number, not the first letter of your last name.

We also can see a "C4" on the card, but i think this to be random. From what i've seen, where the C4 is located on Henery's ID is usually just random numbers. Of course, taking something so simple for granted can usually result in being wrong, but i'll chance it here. Just some thoughts. Not sure if anyone can grab a pic of that for us or not.

Identity Crisis

The picture is attached in that thread. ( the ID)

Rose peak and Rose Creek Rd.
Then the not so obvious Cloudburst Way and W. Wild horse Rd.

That is all quite strange. I do think that more than the reasonable amount of thought went into the picking of the city for Mr. Gale.

And since we're talking about 'LOST' places near home, I've got one or two...
Holloway Road
Swan Creek
St. Claire Street

I think there's a couple more, but they aren't coming to mind...

I still find it a little odd that there was a picture of a hot air balloon hanging in the hatch during Henry's initial interrogation. Is that just coincidence?

No, I thought that when we met Hoax-Henry that he was making up his life based on that picture alone.
