Thanks, mdc. Great job - could see the bourbon kicking in as the video progressed, lol.
That was a great intro. The Buffalo Trace was next to the Old “Forrest”er.
BUFFALO TRACE RACE TO A BLUFF
Has anyone found a link between Pete “Bison”ette, Buffalo Trace, and nadatrace?
mdc, in your vlog, you state that Pete said there are something like 15 clues to where it is hidden. Can you provide the video link or interview ?
Now that the anagrams are out .... I had also generated the same anagrams you cover in your video. I was taking them more as where they started, rather than ended, their trip, but am still holding that open.

Your 'Race to a Bluff' anagram is interesting astree.....
Makes me wonder if there is a connection to the 1492 conquest of paradise scenario:
(Copy/Paste from wikipedia)
"Columbus tricks many crewmen by telling them that the voyage would only last seven weeks."
Are we being tricked to think this hunt will only last 6 months?? lol....

www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwM2EJ6VvJ4&1:15 - 1:45 (14 or 15 different ways to figure out ...) He has mentioned it in a couple interviews. I am starting to think New Orleans is intentional misdirection but New Orleans seems to have the most clues pointing toward it so I am not sure. The other thing is he says "14 or 15 different ways to figure out where the treasure is". I thought after we find the starting city we actually map out the miles they travel in the book and the treasure is in a different city. So I am confused.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDO9cP9qyrs&3:00 - 3:45 "It's a lot easier to solve than you might think it is.... blatant clues" So to me (unless he is lying) this means it IS in New Orleans. Your thoughts?

www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fWPExOxdUw&1:30 - 2:15 In this one he says 15 or 16 different ways the word (of the city) will come up and that is how you know where it is. Then you take the path they did in the book and that will take you within 6 inches of the treasure.

The problem with New Orleans is that it's just TOO obvious. Anyone with anagram experience would spot that two of the main characters had the same letters in their names, which in short order leads to New Orleans. Combine that with the fact that the author said there were deliberate red herrings to trip us up and I'm inclined to surmise that the Big Easy is just too easy.

. Thanks for the various links, Mike. They help!
The issue I have with New Orleans is, as zaphod mentions, it seems pretty obvious. Doesn't discount it - just put a bigger question mark on it.
One of the other, more critical pieces for me, assuming that Pete is being accurate in defining their trip, re things like what the Butterscotch Clipper owner said to Nels ... (paraphrase) "we're going to pick up my son DOWN WHERE YOU'RE FROM". This leads one to believe that, after several days, they were traveling North of the point of origin. That would be pretty tough if they were traveling TO, and not FROM, New Orleans.
Because of information like the anagrams you mention in your vlog2, I tend to think they are FROM New Orleans.
Again, not discounting New Orleans as the final place ... I'd don't have a good feel for Pete's accuracy.

. Adding to mdc777 vlog #2, for those who aren't aware, ORLEANS PARISH and NEW ORLEANS refer to the same place:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_parishes_in_Louisiana
mdc777,
"the problem with anagrams ...."
LANE <> LEAN / NE LA
PERSIAN BLUES <> NE PAIRS (BLUES) / NE PARIS (almost looks like PARISH)
.... and there are a lot of places named PARIS in the U.S.

Jenny, If it is a "race to a bluff", let's hope it's a geological feature and doesn't mean he's pulling a fast one ! astree

"It takes longer than a game of Scrabble"
This is an interesting comment, because in one of the reference videos mdc posted, the clues were mentioned as being "blatant".
Hmmmm.....
There is also another angle, where in an interview, Pete mentioned that all the needed clues are in the book, and one WOULD NOT need to do thing like go to a library (does that also mean internet?) to do research (contrasting to his earlier Kip's Armor hunt). Because, I found a possible reference to poet Yeats .. but had to do some research on Yeats. I'm trying to NOT stretch outside the book.
