(NOTE: Just setting up Threads for each of the Treasure Hunts to be discussed, if wanted. A link to the full PDF, with all Nine Treasure Hunts, will be posted 3/20/21 between 10-12EST) TREASURE HUNT #5
Pie in the Sky by Beth HovanecPRIZE: The prizes are the original watercolor painting as pictured in the center of the puzzle. It measures approximately 14 inches by 14 inches. Also included will be a used, but "like new" copy of the book, "Masquerade". Total value of prize approx. $300 BOTG or ARMCHAIR: Full Armchair Hunt CONTACT INFO: You can contact me by email. TheArtofHiddenMessages@gmail.com is written at the bottom, center of the puzzle. If you have the correct solution, please write "Solution" in the heading of the email, and in the body of the text, tell me what your full solution is, and how you came upon each part of that solution. You will not win the prizes unless you can explain the methodology used for each part of the puzzle. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: You will most likely need to use google for some answers. Keep in mind that all sources may not give you the same answers. If you are on the right track, you will be able to figure out which source fits the puzzle. I can only ship the prizes to the Continental United States. If someone from a country other than the US participates, and wins, they are welcome to pay the extra amount for shipping, or forfeit the prize to a second place winner. Good luck to everyone! Have fun!

This is the first of the hunts I have started working on. I've found a few connections to a common theme (space crafts) but not sure what to do with what I've found! Anyone want to work together or bounce ideas around?

Anyone want to work together or bounce ideas around? This isn't the hunt I'm working on, but the puzzle in the right bottom corner leads to the numbers 2545 (I think!).

Oh, I got 1636 for that which fits my search path. Will look into 2545 as well. Seems both fit!

1636 matched up with Sol 1636 which is a space craft, so figured I am on the correct path.

I do not find a spacecraft called Sol 1636, but it is a date that some pictures were taken by the Mars Rover Opportunity. Sol 1636 on Mars was March 13-14, 2017 on earth.
I did find a Russian satellite called Kosmos 2545.

Yup I completely misread the article I had found. Sol 1636 was the operation. Oops!

I want to post something that is what I will call a "non-clue". It is a rabbit hole some people have fallen into, and I don't want anyone to get too deep into something that means nothing. As you can see, I used playing cards in my hunt. There were some areas where I had empty spaces that I needed to fill in. So I did that with the BACKS of the playing cards. The backs of the playing cards are the skulls with the circled "A" on them. So they are just there to fill in space and mean absolutely nothing.
I learn something every time I design a hunt. This time, I learned that I should fill in empty spaces with something plain.
Hunters might find other rabbit holes, but I was receiving quite a few comments about the skulls so I wanted to address that.
Good luck!
