I am also seeking a person/team for BOTG. I have come up with an idea and I'd love to bounce them off of someone and have someone check out an area...

Might be the Louisiana purchase on the wing? - Team Hunt It most certainly is! (left wing)
To me it looks like this, together with "Mountain time", might indicate that the gnome can be found in the overlap of these two 'zones'.
Or maybe the spot on the wing indicates where to look...

For anyone interested in hieroglyphics, I found this a great resource when I was working on 'Map of the Dead'.

We have been searching in the Denver area all week. We came up here monday with my family. Looked in Aroura, Fort Collins, all over Denver, Gnome park, Denver University, and Morrison. Its hard to nail any one location down to the painting or verses. We might have the wrong city.
Our flight home to Houston, Texas leaves today at 10am. We have enjoyed our little mini vacation/treasure hunt. The city has a great museum, shopping and food. We loved being here. The mountains are so beautiful. We hope by sharing our thoughts with others we can help locate the gnome or help others find it.
A few people have suggested other cities or towns in Colorado. A few others have suggested New York central park. Some think it could be in florida with all the disney references.
From our perspective we think we are in the right state but we seem to be missing some clues or riddles in the painting or verse.
Ok...following Alice back down the rabbit hole back home!
Happy Hunting Sincerely,
David (and family) "HoustonTxDave"

Hunt #9 - All the places we searched in Denver, Colorado..the town of Morrison, Colorado was our main focus. First..in the painting there is a raccoon. The old Denver University mascot was "Denver Boone" who wore a raccoon hat. (See image below). Secondly, in the painting is the wooden post with the lantern. In Morrison, Colorado you have the "Trading Post Trail" which is a 1.5 mile hiking trail loop around the town at the Red Rock Park and Amphitheater. The Egyptain heiroglyphs translate to "Moutain Time" or "Road, Way, Path, Time". In the painting you have the Red letters spell "patH" and the word "ONE" is capitalized in white. So we think its telling us to look along this 1.5 mile looped path. There are lanterns around town of Morrison. We searched everywhere along these trails for a day and a half. The weather was a little rainy and cold but being in these beautiful mountains kept us going. We are 90 percent sure its somewhere here along these "Trading Post Trails" or "Red Rock Trail". It you think about the round pocket watch in the painting and the Trading Post Trail is a LOOP..then the watch says 10 o clock. We searched in the 10 oclock region of the trail. We have been looking for the correct looking tree where the gnome was hidden. We looked for other indicators in the painting such as the black silhouette of the girl behind the butterfly wings as well as the negative space. Others have pointed out the blue color of the left wing looks like the louisiana purchase. E.T. seems to be an Amblin Logo by stephen Spielberg whos first movie under that logo was Continental Divide. We also might think the E.T. means to look on the eastern trail side of the "Trading Post Trail". Unfortunately our week was up and we flew back home to Houston today. We are going to email Dustin and Deidra White to give them our best guess of where we think its hidden but only finding the gnome with the dogtag code will do. Ok...Alice back down the rabbit hole we go. 😎🦝🐇

Can anyone identify the type of moss that is growing on the bark in the video? It doesn't look like anything I've seen in Colorado, but I could be mistaken.

Since the "Trading Post Trail" in Morrison, Colorado is a 1.5 mile loop...its a circle. The pocket watch is a circle. We went and searched heavily in the 10 o'clock area (north-north-west) part of the loop. Notice the minute hand. It vertically looks like "1 5 C O". A one, a five, a "C" and "O". Seems to us it was says it 1.5 miles on the trail and the state is "CO" or Colorado. Also the hour hand looks like a qween symbol or in the case a gnome! So 10 o'clock is X or X marks the spot.

Have enjoyed reading your posts and following your team’s adventures! I haven’t looked at this one much, but used to live in Colorado so was just looking it over. What do you think of the steering wheel on the clock (at least it looks like a steering wheel to me)? I know Bandimere Speedway is in Morrison, but wondered if you had a theory on it.

If this helps anyone find it, maybe you'll let me have Galavant ;-)
The town of Cimarron NM matches a lot of things:
It's very close to the spot on the wing. Frontiersman, raccoon: Davey Crockett. The outlaw Davey Crockett lived there. Amblin made a movie called Spirit of Cimarron Disney shot the movie The Lone Ranger there.

It's very close to the spot on the wing. Actually, I estimate the spot to cover the area from San Jon in New Mexico to Vega in Texas.

That part of TX isn't in the mountain time zone though.

Or maybe it's closer to San Jon.
