Pretty sure that I have identified that background image. But, please, let me know what you think. I had to switch back and forth between the 2 images a bunch of times to check, but they look alike to me. Except, that the image on the scroll seems to have been stretched a little. Google Earth needs to have 3D Buildings on to see the image the best, at least for me. I checked on my IPad and on my HP Computer, the image shows up the same on both platforms.
Take a look at the roof of the southern-most building of the Project school. It looks like the roof is stained, maybe the March clue about stains is referring to this roof.
Look at the upper half of the image on the roof. The triangle-looking thing and circles and shadows all seem to match.
What do you think?

Rb, Check out the empirical rule for statistics. It maybe a long shot, but I think it fits Or google 34-68-95 (I know 9.5 but couldn't be a coincidence) It sure seems to fit. Trying to figure out how to apply.

Here is my solve although feel free to debate it. WEST CABBARUS. To get that.... cowboys = western. Vase thing is URN. Phonetically western - urn = WEST. Then we have cab. The next symbol is Air. if you google the 4 elements earth air wind fire you will find exact matches. So now we have west cabair. The dinosaur is a tyrannasaurus i believe. But he is vertical. So here is the fun part. The v is an insert symbol. It says insert cabair into the tail end of the tyrannasaurUS. Thus giving you cabairus. Phonetically west cabarrus. 1 more affirmation leading to that area. I think i have it solved but welcome other opinions. Brilliant!! Nice Job!! I think you got it perfectly. Any clue on 9.5 and 3468?

I thought that too. I think maybe the poem is referring to two old towns. The first reading, the treasure is north of the old town they are at, and then when they get to the final parking lot, they end up west of another old town.

The picture of the car looks like a taxi cab to me. So, I was thinking maybe a confirmer for 'cab' and the v is pointing down toward the stick men.

I think you are right. Tom says that there is a bike shop 45 miles north of their next destination. Nelson tell everyone their next destination at the very end of Chapter 19, so Tom and all of them know the next stop.

If anyone would like me to check a location in Arkansas for them, I can. I live in central Arkansas. My solution took me to New York City. I drove there last month, on a whirl-wind hunt. Obviously, I didn't find the treasure, but I did find a rock eating tree, trails that went the correct distances, a trail that went over 100 feet of flat rock, and a mini-cliff, about 20 feet high. I sure wish it was in Arkansas.

OREO could be a clue for the starting city. OREO was first developed in Manhattan, and a portion of Ninth Ave. is called OREO Way.

Another Exception: I sent Forrest my solution to San Lazaro. He responded, and I thought he was going to have a heart attack or stroke out. He very clearly told me that my solve was not correct, and he pointed me in a different direction. So, I guess I'm saying, these blanket statements about what Forrest will or won't do, are just opinions and bad ones at that. No one knows what Forrest will or won't do except one person. Not an exception. Thats probably because its illegal to go there, and it is not in the search area at all. Forrest already has video of people going through the gates. Its not a blanket statement, he will never respond if a solve is correct or not. He might respond, but he does not say yes or no. Now obviously if you send him a solve at his house, at San Lazaro (which he still has access to and is ILLEGAL to enter without permission), or his parents grave, in other words outside the search area, of course he will say it is not there, he said that many times already. We are talking of places north of Santa Fe, not south You keep putting out bad poop! Forrest will and does give hints to people by e-mail if they send him partial solutions or full solutions, or just ask him a question. Apparently he hasn't given you one, otherwise you wouldn't keep saying he won't. Searchers, you don't know what Forrest will respond with until you try. He gave me 2 solid hints by e-mail. I didn't ask for them and they were things I had never seen in any of the blogs. Just send him your thoughts, he may surprise you, like he did me.

I just want to add one more comment. If the finder wanted to remain anonymous, Forrest would respect that by not giving away his/her name, or anything about the solve. But he WILL call the chase as over, that has no bearing on how anonymous the finder wants to be. Forrest would be expected and probably obligated to say "It has been found" without giving away by whom, where, when, what state, etc. Also just wanted to remind you that he is unlikely to respond to anything if you sent him a partial solution. For example, if you email and ask "Was the chest found?" without saying anything else and no pictures, and you signed it with your real name, he *might* respond "To my knowledge, no". But if you sent anything else such as a solve, possible location it was, pictures, maps, etc, he will not respond at all because he will not confirm or deny a solve, or give out hints to what the blaze may be, etc. Another Exception: I sent Forrest my solution to San Lazaro. He responded, and I thought he was going to have a heart attack or stroke out. He very clearly told me that my solve was not correct, and he pointed me in a different direction. So, I guess I'm saying, these blanket statements about what Forrest will or won't do, are just opinions and bad ones at that. No one knows what Forrest will or won't do except one person.

Well, you could have fooled me. You certainly appear to be an expert! Thank you for sharing. If I come up with anything this good, I'll post it. Maybe all we are supposed to take from the 9.5 clue is the ENE! Since we have the 2 compass roses at the bottom of the page.

I took a look at Willow Lake Road, but I couldn't find a weather station on that road. I only found a residential neighborhood. Maybe I was on the wrong Willow Lake Road? I also couldn't find one of the stick men symbols, the first one at the top of the page, that looks like a tilted 'F'. The other three, groups of stick men made words, but didn't make much sense to me.

I think I found some hints or clues that indicate that the starting city or state may not be New Orleans or Louisiana. Clue #1: In Chap. 13, on Oct. 31st, QB climbs a basswood tree in his backyard to string lights, falls out of the tree, and a light snow falls that night. Snow rarely falls in New Orleans. The average low in Oct and Nov in New Orleans is lower to upper 50s. Clue #2: Basswood trees normal range is not in Louisiana. They grow south to northern Arkansas, Kentucky, and West Virginia. Not Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, or Texas. Clue #3: in Chap. 7, the group goes on a picnic 40 minutes out of town. It is spring, the elderberry flowers are in full bloom, pre-berry. He said it was sunny but they still needed their jackets. Elderberry flowers from mid-May until July. If it was cool enough for them to need their jackets, Louisiana temperatures in May are a little too warm. The average lows are close to 70 degrees. I think these are clues to get us away from New Orleans and to get us to start looking in a more northerly location.
