happyhuntingThanks for sharing. I hadn't heard of those codes so at least learned something new. I don't see a problem in using them. Surely we're looking for a specific point, regardless of the path number.

You MAY also consider using 1337. 34.....7 + ..7

Surely we're looking for a specific point, regardless of the path number. Right but the yellow path number signs suggest the path # and the first two numbers in the solution are the same. But any google plus code starting with 34 is in the southern ocean

@retro
I don't suppose you could tell us if the yellow double hashes are all the same letters/numbers?
The more I think I've progressed with this, the less idea I have of what goes into the template.
It was worth a try. He's probably busy checking submitted coordinates and having a good laugh.

I've reviewed the coordinates submitted to see the locations people are finding. As far as I can tell I don't believe there has been any near misses (ie. the right location but wrong coordinates). There are some coordinates being submitted I don't know how to locate so make sure you get the right format.
What I can tell from the forums, DMs from hunters, and the coordinates submitted is that the key puzzle pieces have been identified by the community. Now we just need one person or a team to put them together, extract the intended meanings and references, to find the way to the virtual coin coordinates.
I have re-written a solution doc in anticipation of a successful hunter. Good luck

"make sure you get the right format"
🤔 Erm, what was the format, again?

Can't wait to hear the solution. Too many people ahead for me to try anymore.
Looking forward to the next one. 👍

I have some for the list:
1. Does the 7 refer to the 7 dots in the loop on the path? 2. Does the decision refer to one of the dots in the loop, or outside of it? 3. Alphanumeric can mean letters or numbers or both. Do we have both in the template? 4. If we have the correct path, are we done with the bird? 5. Is there some type of structure at the coordinates? 6. Do we build the coordinates from the riddly stanza? 7. Are we looking for an arrow? 8. Is the moon hot or cold at the center?
That's enough for now. Just feel like I've hit a brick wall.

Maybe this hint will help get y'all to the coin location.
You do not build the coordinates with the stanza riddle, they point you towards the mark to find.

Once we follow the instructions of the Stanza, are we meant to be right on the mark, or does it give us a wider area to search within, or maybe several possibilities from which we have to select the right one?

Ok I'm done here's what I got
You do not build the coordinates with the stanza riddle, they point you towards the mark to find - this in consistent with my "solve".
CAM34 is clearly the path across the land If you go left of the seven at the center, between the Winslow and Albuquerque, the path goes directly through Cibola County, NM. In National Treasure, a noble bird will give you passage referred to Cibola - the city of gold.
There are a few arrows in Cibola but only one at the 34 longitude line - again not sure that's the coordinate path or not. There are no sign posts near the arrow as its basically in the middle of the desert.
The google plus code for this area starts with 85 so not sure how that would work.
No idea how one would narrow down Cibola county but good luck
