Thanks, I hope it’s correct, and someone finds the ring.

I sure would like to figure out the feather of three and Son thing. Maybe someone close by can go search.

If I didn’t live in Arkansas and lived closer to NY, I’d be looking for the ring tomorrow. I couldn’t figure out “feather of three” or “Son”. I agree, “isle of many mounts”, is Manhattan. “To royal reflections And rebel roots”, refers to Columbia Univeristy. It was originally King’s college, founded by Royal charter, and renamed Columbia College after the Revolutionary War by the rebels. ”The place of pale leaves,” is a library at Columbia, Low Memorial Library. Out front is a statue of Alma Mater, which appears to have a grey patina. (Grey eyes watch over) “Where panic pauses To play a tune”, is a statue of the Great God of Pan, which is to the left side of Low Library as you face it. Pan is lying down relaxing and starting to play on his musical instrument. Pan was sculpted by George Grey Barnard. I took his name to hint at grey eyes earlier. ”Look low”, this could mean look down low or it’s a hint to Low Library. If I went, I would start at the Pan statue and search around it and between it and Low Library. You can google The Great God Pan sculpture, and see a photo. In the background is the side and part of the front of Low Library. Hope this helps someone.

I got #2,3, &4, and the hints on the keyboard and #5. However, I think it’s odd that I can’t figure out #1, and I might die if I don’t figure it out.

Wow! Great treasure hunt! Will you let us know how many folks got the correct answer? Thanks.

If it’s a quill, they normally were made from goose feathers, so a “honk” would be the sound, I think. I don’t know what to do with it though.

I am working on it. However, as soon as I saw it, I thought, she doesn’t want this one solved as fast as the last one. It looks so good! I am ashamed to say, I only have one puzzle solved so far.

You are right about the trail possibly going south of Hell. I don't know where my brain was.

I may be reading the clues incorrectly, but I don't think South Bend is viable. South Bend is South of Hell, MI, and I think the treasure must be North of Hell. West Bend definitely could be what he is talking about. Up could be North, and drawing could be art. Good thinking. I'm working on this hunt too, but have not figured out anything that I am really confident about.

We got to Fort Smith and started following the clues to the treasure. We drove all over the area we thought the treasure was hidden. We finally focused on a very promising area and followed the clues to where we thought the treasure was. To my granddaughters' surprise and delight, the treasure was there! They found Brody and Todd's hidden treasure. The author, James Babb doesn't want the exact location revealed. This hunt was a lot of fun! My older granddaughter said on the way back to the car, "I want to do another treasure hunt". Maybe she will be my travel buddy for the Fenn treasure when she is older.

Is there some secret way to enter the answers on the website? I can't get my question#1 to load. I am sure of the answer, but it won't work. Do you put the 4 digits all in the first window or do you put one digit in each window? I've tried both ways, so I figure there must be some secret I don't know. Can someone help?

Well, I bought the books and read them to my granddaughters. They are really excited and want to go look for the treasure. So, we are heading for Fort Smith, Arkansas, in the morning. I hope James Babb, the author, doesn't get too upset if we find the treasure tomorrow.

I'd like to add to my above comment. I would be very suprised if it is revealed that the treasure was NOT found in Hot Springs. And if it was not, I would really like to know why Pete put so many clues and the cipher in the book to lead people to Hot Springs. If it was not Hot Springs, then why would he put such an obvious red herring into his book? And if it IS Hot Springs, then how is it that so many people went there, and could not find it? I think if it was in Hot Springs, the reason all of the folks who looked there, including me, didn't find the flute, is because it was found months ago and the finder held on to it for some reason. Maybe she was going to wait until the prize money increased, but she changed her mind. I just think it must have been found a long time ago.

No, the 104 and 63 was to show where Ridgeway is, they aren't on the scroll.

See if this is good enough corroborating evidence. In the first paragraph, the stranger is sitting under a tree and looking west. The lake he has to pass over is Lake Erie. I base that on this: "the ridgeway view of the lake". Ridgeway is a tiny town half-way between Rochester and Buffalo. It is at the intersection of highways 104 and 63. It is just north of Medina. I think that is enough to give us the state and the general area of where the stone is hidden.
