Thanks vahistorydigger...turns out my theory was incorrect...I had the Virginia purple poem leading me to the Hampton Roads Naval Museum...the USS Virginia was sunk intentionally, resurrected and then burnt intentionally and its replica currently is behind glass in the museum...I had it paired with the thomas jefferson image as that shows the state of virginia pretty clearly. Ironically the real solve for the poem led to Garner,NC which is 20 minutes away from me. I still think there is something in Virginia unless its one of the red herrings. Im happy to collaborate if you want. No worries, I’ve been trying to connect things for this one but Art of the Hidden Message is a professional. Happy to. Collaborate.PM me and we can bounce ideas. |

Any Boston searchers?
I believe the Black Background poem works with the drawing of the man sitting, pointing at a musical note. I think the man is Adams who has a long history with Boston.
There appears to be a portion of a green four leaf clover in the center of the picture, that possibly resembles the initial settlement of Boston in 1630. The thin green line to the left of the clover would be the narrow piece of land that connected the settlement to the mainland.
left shoe tongue looks like a basketball goal. A nod to the Boston Celtics.
the music note, a nod to the Boston Pops. The color red, a nod to the freedom trail thru Boston which is red.
The triangle at the top, a nod to the Bulfinch Triangle Neighborhood that was created when they filled in the Back Bay in 1857.
The poem:
Those who had fallin were made a wall to catch them all. Starting in 1807, the Copp's Hill was moved to fill in part of the bay. They built a retaining wall around the original settlers graveyard to prevent it from eroding away.
Then a bridge of land was built to expand. Starting in 1814 they built a dam and eventually backfilled Back Bay in 1857. The backfill created 700 acres of usable land to expand Boston.
snaking, is a nod to the Boston Freedom Trail that snakes around the historical areas of Boston.
Through the the Basin is where you start. Normally the start point of the Freedom Trail is at the Visitor Center next to the commons. This says to start at the end, or Basin which would be at the area that was backfilled. So start at Bunker Hill and follow the red Freedom Trail Back towards the Commons.
Gateway, Journey, and touch your heart will need to be discovered by BOTG as you take the trail. But I would be on the lookout for a Gateway.

I think I figured out a clue on the Yellow page verse with multi colored letters. If you take the first capital letter from each line you get: BTOBBGYEHWTITFFAA
That can be unscrambled to make the phrase: Get Taffy with Babob
Any ideas who Babob is? And where can we get taffy?

Upon further thought.......the bridge to expand could also be the Rose Kennedy Greenway. it replaced an old expressway. It also snakes through town thru various neighborhoods (minds). Is a17 acre park that is a public (place ) with lots of (art) and (cultural) events. Still will need to do BOTG to find the actual spot......happy hunting

Taffy is an Oregon specialty but the OR proxy was found and she hasnt doubled up on a state so far. But I like your thinking! |

Is there another image that matches him better? I just feel like we are all missing something and the bones go with the black poem. But I do believe the other poem is discussing Gibson. But she wouldnt give us a place we can't access currently and they can't all be located in DC. Haha. Certainly solid logic. We do have to remember two of these are red herrings Yes! Much better image. |
