I enjoyed reading everyone’s thoughts here. I’ll add a couple of my own. Maybe they will help someone or maybe they will just add to the confusion 😛
We know Mountain Time is a clue…possibly E.T. stands for Eastern Time?
I think the bottom left corner is trying to yield WONDERLAND…ONE + Dr (touched by wings) + LA (Louisiana) + nD (the cursive letters).
Anyway that had me thinking about Marjorie Park right by Aurora (waltzing near sleep).
That’s as far as I got. Any thoughts?

I also don't see nd, I see DW for Deidra White (the artist).
But I could be wrong.

Has anyone found the second map the hint referred to?
Also, unless I missed it, nobody has figured out what his first hint implied, that it isn't a butterfly and referring to it as "her."
I still think this means the object is a fairy but I don't know the significance.
If the branches around the border really do indicate Walt Disney, a logical assumption would be Tinkerbell.

Although on the other hand, the artist's signature is usually in the right corner. Why put it where she did?

Walt Disney has a famous quote “If nothing changed, there’d be no butterflies.” Definitely seems to be a reference to this.

I still think it's a fairy because you can see the faint outline of a girl.

I wonder if i overlay a roadmap of Denver's highways/roads over the painting of tree/branches in the gnome painting to see if we get matches....hmmm 🔎
Still puzzling over the elusive second map.
Here are my thoughts...before the second clue a lot of these posts focused on the Denver area. So if the second map points us to Denver, the hint wouldn't be giving us any new info unless the map actually pinpoints a location near Denver.
But otherwise, I would think it would be something else that gives us a new nudge in a direction that hadn't been considered.

I'm still leaning towards Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument... I haven't been able to locate the second map within the image...

Wish I could find it! I've been over every inch of that picture.

There's a comment that Dustin posted on the FB group but didn't post here, and that is that Amblin Entertainment has nothing to do with the hunt.

The Eygptian hyroglyphs spell out mountain path/way/time. (Maybe a mountain bike trail). I've started over since he said amblin has nothing to do with the hunt. I have focused on the Alice in wonderland character(story)/louisiana purchase in the butterfly wing. Working on the second map/nap and where he sleeps.

I missed it and have been trying to keep things there, also here. As I know not all are on FB. Much appreciated susb8383!

I wish Dustin would make sure to post something like that in both places.

For anyone interested in hieroglyphics, I found this a great resource when I was working on 'Map of the Dead'. I'm going over the comments again for this hunt and wanted to double check the hieroglyphics but this link takes me to a "403 Access to this resource on the server is denied" error.

Anyone have an idea what the second from the end is? I've found all the other symbols except that one. Can't find it anywhere.
