Would like to share thoughts on Custard's Quest IV

I figured out that the ticket numbers on the tickets on the Johnston's Family Diner website are times expressed in epoch seconds (see here for explanation: webnet77.net/cgi-bin/helpers/epoch.pl), and the times exact match the conventional dates and times underneath. Also, by looking at the page's source code I could see that the page itself was created in September 2015. If this is a clue to the CustardQuest, it came 2+ years after it was released.

There’s a problem with the converted times. Using the epoch to human readable date conversion tool, the converted date is given as GMT and it is this Greenwich Mean Time shown on the tickets, not local time. To convert to DST on the east coast it would be GMT – 4 hours therefore the calculation would be:

1443374268 ==> Sunday, September 27, 2015 5:17:48 PM GMT ==> Sunday, September 27, 2015 1:17:48 PM GMT-04:00 DST

This presents a problem as the restaurant hours are from 4:00 to 9:00 (AM or PM doesn't matter) therefore I think the restaurant is probably located in Reykjavik.

Why would the website be the very first google search option, if it wasn't real, and just some project? I think it definitely fits the solve, and i think the solve is in ohio. I still need to put it together some more, but I really appreciate everyone's notes here!

Regaine, I'm glad to see you here.

I believe the plastic triangle was a base for the tiara or crown mentioned in the story. It could still be a hint of some sort.

I asked custard about the okc website and he wouldnt say.

Good luck. Let's get this going.

I have been working on this for a few years my thoughts are its possibly in North Carolina near Nags Head. (Mud) is mentioned several times, (Grave Digger) the monster truck is located there, they have their own diner on the property too. The owner of it all is Dennis Anderson, he has a son that drives monster trucks as well his name is Adam...officer Adams from the story maybe. There are 2 Grave Digger sites close together there, one is an all out mud running place for racing and one has a store/gift shop, monster truck rides, the diner, and other things geared toward kids. The sign above the entrance to the gift shop which is officially named Grave Diggers Dungeon is made to look like blood running down, (like blood boiling over the steps inside the devils home)from the story. (Sparklies) mentioned a lot in story I came up with 2 theories on this 1. Spark Lies.... best selling "fiction" romance novels by author Nicholas "Sparks" who lives/lived in North Carolina. In the gift shop there are lots of metal diamond plated things 1 being a throne with pointy tips it sits on the left when you first walk thru the door...hence a high chair tipped over in the story. Strange little Leanns little Bigfoot (Bigfoot is a well known monster truck) Sand mentioned in the story ...the beach is near by. Gleaming trophy's and awards are all over the walls in Diggers dungeon. There are a few other things 
I have made connections to there as well but just cant seem to come up with an exact spot. There are many YouTube videos you can watch showing Diggers Dungeon the parks and diner.

I've been working on this for 2 months. Not as long as most of you. I'll share what I found:

First thing I found were the "Justin's". (After reading this thread, I see that others also found some of these.)
"just inside" - Justin Side
"just 10 seconds before" - Justin Second
"Justin Bieber"
"Justin Timberlake"
"just incredibly boring " - Justin Credibly
"just in case" - Justin Case

I'm convinced "Justin" has something to do with the solve.

Then I looked into the other "just" in the story. Some of these are a stretch, but they can get to a name:
"just getting started" - Justin Star
"just occurred, not a single place" - Justin Place
"just fine - less light" - Justin Less
"Just before I reached the peak of the bulge of land, the top cross-member of the swing set" - Justin Set
"just to get her some glittery wedding gifts" - Justin Gifts

Then I looked at every "J". These are even more of a stretch...
"jump on my bike a month ago, and this second incident further scrambled my thinking, though" - Justin King
"injury, I have confidence in this investigative report, and believe" - Justin Believe
"job," said my father. "You're getting in the way." There were cement steps to my right that ascended from the patio" - Justin From
"Johnstons' Family Diner, which we had eaten at several times before on our temporary stays there. The Markses have never been accused of being a daring" - Justin Daring
"bejeweled white dress glowed like a purplish bruise brushed with glitter."Have you seen my friend?" she asked." - Justin She
"Jillions of these adult-sized prints were stamped every which way in the play sand" - Justin Play
"jewel shed sparks of moonlight. She brandished no weapon I could see, but that did not make" - Justin Make
"jeweled tiara from the acrylic display stand, and a single silver spoon from the kitchen that he fashioned into a pretty bracelet. He probably caressed the gilded picture frame and trophies in the foyer, admiring their luster" - Justin Their Luster

I made a matrix trying to somehow relate all of these "Justin's", comparing occupation, birth, death, spouse, father, mother, residence. I couldn't find anything that they had in common. The only thing they all had in common that I could find was.... ...Justin.

I'll stop this post here, before I explain the next rabbit hole I jumped into.

[goldhunter]

Thanks for sharing. I hadn't noticed how common "just" was. Good luck.

There is one "J" that I didn't mention (which is from the word Jersey). That is because it starts to overlap with another "Justin".
Instead, when I take that "J" backwards [clues from a different perspective], I get Justin NASA.
"was an adolescent bigfoot - or sasquatch or Gigantopithecus or Jersey" - Justin NASA ("was an" backwards is the part that gets to NASA)

So, the rabbit hole that I am in is looking at different NASA sites.

I already sent someone (Carolyn) to Rocket Park in Houston. She didn't find anything there that could lead to the stone. Saturn V is located there.

Other things that could be confirmers to NASA/Rocket Park:
Johnstons' Family Diner = Johnson Space Center
silence frees "space" in the mind
"nerd"
"moonlight" - 3 times

something high in the air to the left of a small piece of modern metal artwork (Saturn V)
stand on my tiptoes and raise my hand as high as I could to reach - resulted in the recovery
railing
speakers were pointed toward the edge of a wooded area about fifteen feet away. I clicked it off. (rocket nozzles? - 15 feet away is right about at the wall)
Second St. (name of one of the Justin's)
"five times..." "five times..." [Saturn V]
"cloaked in fog" "misty white" - (smoke from the nozzles of Saturn V)
"sparks" - sparks from the rocket nozzles


Rocket Park Google Map location:
www.google.com/maps/place/29%C2%B033'16.8%22N+95%C2%B005'38.9%22W/@29.5541874,-95.096156,122a,35y,83.21h,55.27t/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d29.5546709!4d-95.0941406

I thought it was on this wall - 15 feet from the nozzles (radio speakers):

The NASA logo is close to this description, but not quite exact:
"circular fixed-bottom base and three small posts arranged in the shape of a triangle on top"
www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/thumbnails/image/nasa-logo-web-rgb.png


Things that I think should be clues, but don't seem to apply to this location (or I can't figure out):
Close Encounter of the Mundane Kind
the Huffs'
Warrior Dash
cement patio and trailed them right and left
cement steps to my right
At the top of the steps, I turned left - to the left of a stone sculpture - railing
Officer Adams
Proud to Serve
left after only 15
Markses
plenty of streetlights
I did a lap
middle of the neighborhood
wooded walking trail
rock path leading into the park from the parking lot was merely stamped from cement
ascending a slight hill
leaned against a ladder leading to a corkscrew slide
Under the security lamp
faux-stone path
tiny little Z
west border of which was a dry gulley
east-facing houses along the opposite side of the gulley, only one had a clear shot of the Huffs' backyard
wrong angle could obscure the view because of a tree line
flower-lined path at the bottom of the steps leading to the grass
mulch beds
sandbox
walk over the fake stones leading up the sloped path toward the back of the park
summitted the crest of the hill
LeeAnn

"Dark" themes (I don't understand):
house of horrors cultivated headless flowers
grim reaper
blood of the condemned boiling over steps inside the devil's home
malevolently
dance with the devil in the full moonlight
Jersey Devil

Wrote this on the FB page, but will add here:

Could 'JUst In' be a keyword for a null cipher? Because of the line 'just 10 seconds before', maybe look at 10 or two words/letters/etc. before the keyword shows up?? Just Interested to see if that might give a message or something....

Will have a look later if I get a chance...
