Goldhunter and I believe we have solved the 13th Casque, however we live too far away from the actual location to do the final search. We are looking for someone in the Indiana-Kentucky area to help us with the BOTG phase. I know there are many claims of “solves” so to provide some validity to our claim I offer the “dragon of the C”.
If you are interested please contact me, or goldhunter, to discuss terms.

Well, I'm getting no bites to my request for help so I'll add a little more information. Three areas within Cherokee Park have been identified by the poem. Boone Statue (Man of adventure stands at the beginning and end), Christensen Fountain (Two circles three, dragon of three), Bernheim Bridge (Emblem of three, it's down below) but what about the fourth? It's necessary to complete the "Cross four spans", that being the "Valkyrie's window with seven"? On the nearby Sacred Heart Academy campus there is the Ursuline Motherhouse Chapel. It is an octagonal shaped building with one side connected to an extended building making it seven sided. Also, the all girls sports team on campus is call the Valkyries. With this fourth location I believe it is possible to find the bench (which I did find via GE). This is also connected to the "Tee" and bench symbol and the significance of the platform in the illustration.

A little more about the platform. Notice that all of the landmarks mentioned in the poem, and are also located in Cherokee Park, are above the platform. Also, included are the "Big Rock", Hogan's Fountain, Boone's Hatchet are above the platform. All these landmarks all happen to be located west of Beargrass Creek. This makes the wavy edge of the platform the Beargrass Creek. It also infers that the Olmsted bench is located somewhere east of the creek. Now for the "Tee" and the Olmsted bench. The "Tee" is above the platform but the Olmsted bench is below, however they are connected and at the same time crossing Beargrass Creek. If the "Tee" is the Teepee pavilion in the park, and a straight line is drawn between the "Tee" and the bench, a compass bearing can be determined. Whatever we are looking for lies somewhere along that bearing. That's why goldhunter and I want some help with BOTG! P.S. We know where the bench is located, do you? It's right here.

How to determine where the Olmsted bench is located is revealed in the Tribute poem: “Cross four spans”. The four spans include the Christensen Fountain, Berheim Bridge, Boone Statue and Ursuline Chapel. I used Google Earth(GE) to draw a line between the Boone Statue and the Ursuline Chapel and then a line between the Christensen Fountain and the Berheim Bridge. Where the two lines cross is very close to the bench. How close depends on where the starting and ending points of the line were selected, particularly on the fountain and bridge. The bench is visible by using GE’s Street View from the nearest road.
Once the bench is located, use GE to draw a line between the bench and the Teepee Pavilion. Now select the line and choose “Show elevation profile”. You can see the line dips down, crosses the Beargrass and heads uphill to the Teepee which satisfies the last remaining line of the poem “In marsh, hillside, and valley deep”. We feel there is something important somewhere along this line.
There are two items in the illustration that we haven’t sorted out yet; the hanging gem and the butterfly. If the gem represents the treasure and it is west of the stream, but hanging eastwards, it may mean “start at the Teepee and head eastward” in your search, or because most parks prohibit digging, it could also infer that the treasure is not buried, or even it is just a lure that leads you to a clue to solve the butterfly enigma.
Goldhunter and I have been holding on to this solve for several months now and wish someone in the area could test its validity, but of course there are no guarantees. We are optimistic about our solve but, then again, my definition of optimism is: Optimism: The ability to ignore your ignorance.
