## Description

**The Garbage Dump/Golf Course** is the fifth checkpoint of Does Not Commute. It comes after The City (Night). This level would be quite hard because of all the walls and tight roads. Here you would find elements of a garbage dump and a golf course, such as piles of rubbish and containers, golf water hazards in the river, a sand trap, and lots of green grass. There are also warehouses and some buildings, probably some are golf club buildings!

### Drivers

There are 17 drivers in this level. We are already familiar with Mrs. Warner, Julia, Clark Jensen, Mrs Mayfield, Dentist Charles Schneider, Mr. Kirby, Mr. Baker, Mrs. Beck, garbage man Dwayne, Police officer Johnson, and Mrs. Griffin. The new drivers are, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Spears, Mr. Ortega, Mr. Griffin, Mrs. Grant and *another* Dentist Charles Schneider . The time of day varies from early sunrise to mid-morning. The previous level is the City (Night). The next level is the Harbor.

## Story Summary

Mrs. Warner wakes in her car, and decides to head to the golf club. Mr. Hughes, is planning to buy (and consecrate) a bulldozer among various vehicles. Strange, because Julia is driving the same bulldozer right now!

Mr. Spears is confused about when his dentist appointment was, was it last week, or is it tomorrow? Mr. Mayfield has been caught by the police and is in the newspaper, and Mrs. Mayfield is now single. Mrs. Grant is reading a newspaper about “an amusing man … doing inappropriate things while wearing an animal suit”. Mr. Griffin is worrying about Mrs. Griffin - wow, that mask is really starting to affect her life. Clark Jensen is here, and wants to consecrate some demolition vehicles (including a bulldozer) for Mr. Hughes. The bulldozer is missing, it must have been Julia driving it away! It looks as if she did something awful at the golf club, because police officer Johnson is investigating loud noises there. But the blame was put on Clark Jensen!

Dwayne has finally finished his statue of Mrs. Beck. And, Mrs. Beck is driving exactly the same way that Dwayne left the dump. (Do they have a romantic relationship here?)  She has had enough of Mr. Beck, and is throwing away garbage bags filled with men’s ties, shoes and shirts. Poor Mr. Beck! What will he wear now!

Dentist Charles Schneider is driving a truck full of scrap metal, maybe it’s for more time travelling machines! Another Schneider, this time driving in his usual blue car, has appeared! He must have time traveled from the past! Mr. Baker is feeling strange, perhaps it's because he can’t think of any more slogans! Mrs. Griffin finally resists to her mask and the death spirit Ni-Ko Bim-Zawang, driving off to the harbor to throw the mask away.

### The story goes as follows:

1. Mrs. Warner wakes up in her car. That's alright, she could go for a few morning drinks down at the golf club.
2. Garbage dump and golf course owner Mr. Hughes has recently bought himself a number of new toys, including a bulldozer, because 'why the heck not'. He seems to have misplaced the key though.
3. Look, it's Julia again. Off for some fun at the golf club, it seems!
4. Mr. Spears thinks the construction of the golf course was completed impressively fast. In fact, everything seems rather time-efficient since his dentist appointment last week. Wait, isn't the dentist appointment tomorrow?
5. Mr. Griffin is winding down with a round of golf. He's worrying about his marriage. His wife has been mumbling the name 'Nico' in her sleep lately.
6. On her way to the golf club, Mrs. Grant thinks about an amusing newspaper article concerning the arrest of a man doing inappropriate things while he was dressed in an animal suit.
7. Spiritual advisor Clark Jensen has been called upon to consecrate a number of large demolition vehicles. But it seems like one of the vehicles has gone missing.
8. Mrs. Mayfield is enjoying the single life. She likes to walk in the forest near the golf club, even though it gets a little lonely at times. Perhaps she should get a dog to accompany her.
9. Dentist Charles Schneider heads back to his clinic from the garbage dump. His rented truck is full of scrap metal.
10. Biotechnology scientist Mr. Kirby is taking his pet lizard Duncan for a walk in the forest near the golf club.
11. Advertiser Mr. Baker has been feeling strange lately. He thinks a round of golf would cheer him up. He starts whispering 'When things go bad, golf makes you-' but suddenly stops and starts crying.
12. Mrs. Beck is on her way to the garbage dump to throw away bags filled with men's ties, shoes and shirts.
13. Mr. Ortega often drives to the golf club for a drink or two. If there is one thing he despises more than golf it's the people who play it. Being upset makes him feel alive.
14. Dentist Charles Schneider is on his way to... Wait, how is that possible? Dentist Charles Schneider, again?
15. Garbage man Dwayne's magnum opus 'Mrs. Beck' is finally finished. It stands 13 feet tall, and Dwayne has given it an appropriately prominent place at the garbage dump.
16. Police officer Johnson heard loud noises from the golf club, and decided to investigate.
17. Mrs. Griffin was going to meet her husband at the golf club, just as Ni-Ko Bim-Zawang told her, but she resists and decides to head off to the harbor to dump the mask in the ocean.

## Hidden Time Bonuses

### Underneath the bridge

* This is a 10+ File:10+ time bonus. The bridge will likely be crossed by Mrs. Warner, Mr. Hughes, Clark Jensen and any drivers who need to go to the other side of the checkpoint. You will see a glowing light of orange, indicating a time bonus. This is best collected by Mr. Baker or Mrs. Grant, because the river offers a quick way for them to get to the destination. They also both drive golf carts, slow on the road but quicker on grass or dirt. (The bonus may inadvertently be collected if a car dips down slightly while crossing the bridge, likely Mr. Hughes, but also Mrs. Warner or Mr. Spears. (Julia might also collect it, but it is a waste of time to loop around for such a slow bulldozer.))

## Unlocks

There are no unlocks after The Amusement Park, and the game is fully equipped with the Power Ups, by The City (Night).

## Secret Radio Music

There is no "secret" radio music for this checkpoint apart from a radio version of it’s soundtrack.

That’s all for The Garbage Dump/Golf Course. We wish you all a good morning. See you at the next level, THE HARBOR!
