…scroll down to the big picture, and click on anything outlined in a box.

www.wikipedia.org
is priceless.

If you’re interested in overhead/satellite views and have never learned your way around…
www.local.live.com
…then you really, really, really should.
Coverage differs depending upon your location, but they seem to be continually adding — especially to the “bird’s eye” imagery.  Milwaukee just got added, as a matter of fact, and the Milwaukee tree and dig site are very easily seen.

Just wanted to pass along this resource if anyone’s interested, online (and free!) historical park maps, brochures & guidebooks courtesy of the National Park Service. May be helpful for pinning down 80s-era clues around Boston, St. Augustine, etc.

Good job finding that resource. I’m embarrassed to say I had the all issues from 1979 up until 1990. Great stories and art. (Intended for adults).

MrSeabass – I have now resized and sectioned the larger images, so they should all fit now unless your monitor resolution is low.

yet another useful site; info on states, flags, emblems, official birds and trees and things:
www.50states.com

I was searching for items on E. Blyden and found this handy summary of the items used
in the 1976-77 Exhibition at the Smithsonian that goes with the “Abroad in America” book.
http://siarchives.si.edu/findingaids/faru0361.htm
Check out series 12.  I don’t have the book, but it appears that many of the pictures
in the book are on this list, and presumably appeared at the exhibition.  For example,
there appears to be a painting by A. C. Goodwin of Copley Square.  Does that picture
appear in the book, or was it only at the exhibit?

Good question – I read the whole book and I don’t remember. If it’s genuinely of interest I can make a trip to the library sometime.

Here’s one for Canada, perhaps more amusing than useful:  www.roadsideattractions.ca/type.htm.

Thank you all for sharing.

wow…even clearer than GoogleEarth…
now which tree is “our” tree?

Fox – The tree where we dug is easily the biggest one in the first picture above, very near the road. I don’t know where regulus’ tree is, but it would be a simple matter for him to show us using local.live’s bird’s-eye view.

catherwood – I like seeing the articles right here, without having to work for them. In any event, Q4T won’t let me edit old posts, but I see the value in what you suggest. I add the links here:

Thanks Boogie.  I hope we can really say we are “brilliant” when someone finds the next casque!
By the way,
http://thesecret.pbwiki.com
is a great place to organize and collaborate on the solutions to the casques.  However, the wiki can never replace the great discussion threads here at Q4T and over at TWELEVE.org.  I think that new ideas thrown out on the threads will lead us to the next solution!  I just hope that the wiki will include some germs of ideas that will spur some creative solutions out there!
Thanks again,
AnotherDoth
