Guys, here was an idea I had.
I can understand how some people believe the puzzle leads them to the Croatoan tree and then they look north at the large Wright Brothers Monument.
BUT. I think it's possibly another much smaller monument known as The Wright Brothers Garage Monument. Why?
1. It's almost straight north. (Much more due north than the big monument.)
2. The garage monument prominently features a wing.
3. The "goal" is on the monument which says "conquest of the air".
The monument is on Moor Shore Road in Kitty Hawk.
It doesn't hurt that a road named Beacon (path beckons) takes you straight to Moor Shore Road.
Also doesn't hurt that a "Shore" has mica and driftwood.
The monument sits on private property. I was able to contact the owners of the house. She had already been contacted by others and also suspected that it was buried there. BUT...the current monument is a replacement from the mid 80s and DOES NOT sit in the original spot. It was moved when the road was updated.
She said she has had some gpr work done but no luck.
I believe she prefers to be left alone concerning the hunt.
Thanks!
