I still can’t send the pictures that I cropped with PAINT, ugh! The Hand holding the pine cone is located at K6 of the Wiki Image1. It’s the area that doesn’t otherwise appear to “fit” that section of the Image. It matches the pine cone in John McLaren’s Hand on his moument. Thanks again for taking the video and pictures for me. Adam

k6 seems to be a wing of the dragon (which is a crow)…and a ruffle in her dress…what are you saying is the pine cone?

and who is john mckinnon? do you mean william mckinnon?

Yes, You’re right. William McKinnon Statue. Big error. Thanks for catching that. I’m not at my big computer, so I have no way of checking out additional ideas, but has anyone considered the moons as the map? I plan to overlay the positions of my known clues on a map of SF then position the moons above them to verify that the casque is on the south side of the William McKinnon statue. Did you say you have checked that spot? Wingless bird could be a rocket or spaceship. Thanks, Adam

i know what the moons mean. also, im not using the montreal verse for the sf puzzle cause ive already completed them both with their respective verses. well, ive completed the mtl treasure hunt im not fully complete the entire map.

your spot at the mckinnon statue doesnt make much sense…what is your giant pole?

Unknown:
what is your giant pole?

You don’t need a “giant” anything if you are using Verse 5 for your solve. You need a white stone and permission.

fair lol…

so…what is your white stone?

Thanks for all of the input.The error message I’m getting trying to attach photos says “Sorry, the board attachment quota as been reached.” I wanted to include what I see as the pine cone in John McLaren’s left hand on his Monument. There is no giant pole for my solution. I am searching for the casque in SF using Image 1 and Verse 5. Have a great weekend. P.S. Has anyone dug behind (South side) of William McKinnon Statue previously? And also what have other people translated “weights and roots extended” to identify? Thanks, Adam

Josh, What do your moons mean? Thanks, Adam

go to a site like imgur.com and upload it there. Then copy the bbcode link and paste it here

Thanks Krayz. Can’t wait to try it later. Have an excellent day!

Hello all. Is this the BART logo used in the 1980’S. Thanks, Adam
https://s26.postimg.cc/bftyeoqs9/new_bart.png

yes thats the one

maltedfalcon

beneath two countries…
if the puzzle is greek, why is the image roman?
yes there are certainly nods to other countries but I don’t see the immigrant connection
chicago? Irish? Whats NY? whats boston?
its almost like he thought about trying to work it in but it didnt really work out….

beneath two countries (italy and serbia) with the trick being its the fourth garden down, however one is the african american garden.

and the wingless bird is not the velodrome its very clearly a hot air balloon…and ive very clearly explained why.

Perfect, Thanks so much Josh! Have an excellent day!
Adam

I am attaching the cropped image of the left hand holding the pine cone, like the one on John McLaren Monument. Hope it works. Thanks, Adam

Weight and roots extended!
The BART system. Lots of interesting info on Bing regarding the way BART buried a transbay tube involving 57 sections connected and positioned under the bay. Lots of weight put on top of the tube to position it, the system is constantly extending “routes” to different communities to improve service. Transbay tube opened in 1974. New stuff when this treasure hunt was being researched. I also see the map of BART in Image 1

Happy Friday night! Adam

so…whats your white stone?
also not convinced that is a or the pinecone in the painting.

Hi Josh,
you haven’t searched in “my dig spot” previously, because you are sure that the SF casque needs verse 7 to be solved, right? Ace is high sounds like a deck of cards or casino reference to me. Anyway, is there a giant step pictured in Image 1? I don’t see it. Thanks for all of your help, Adam

Good Afternoon,
I just discovered that:
2 20 2
doesn’t connect to Ansel Adams’ birthday as significantly as previously thought, darn.
Guess what DOES
https://noehill.com/sf/landmarks/sf222.asp
Please enjoy your afternoon coffee and you help me figure out the rest of Verse 5.
“Wingless Bird Ascended?
Have a great Day!
Adam

Adam, the wingless bird is the Velodrome, which was changed into the Biodome a few years after the ’76 Olympics.

Try as I might ,I just don’t really see the immigrant connection at all, on any of them

Not even at the Greek Cultural Garden in Cleveland?

BINGO

Really? That would be a perfect setup for what that line represents.
I’m still partial to Greece being generally south of Italy’s Garden and the fact that Italy is a 2:1 country containing the Vatican.

show me a picture of that sign – from the 1980s…

jayheedan1

might be the case if african american garden is post 1981…but its very clearly the fourth garden overall down currently.

I thought the Greek Cult. Garden was the third one listed on the path directory in the park signage from the entrance to the park.

Ok I am not picking on you,
but what date did San Francisco announce # 222?
This is not new, btw you should seriously read some of the older SF threads.

It’s funny how I come up with an idea, do my happy dance, then write to the thread, feel a little too proud of myself …….. then find out that I was wrong, then I hear a verification of my wrongness … What a strange roller coaster of a treasure hunt this is! I Love it. Thanks for your sense of humor and encouragement,
Adam

let me just say been there done that! LOL

O.K.,
I’m done reading all of the SF posts. (not really, got bored with all of he bickering). I did check out the solutions of the 2 found casques and see that the items puzzled had some immigrant nationality connection to the group of immigrants that the city is connected to. So, shouldn’t the SF stuff be tied to Chinese related or significant items somehow? Just a thought, Have an excellent day! Adam

Good Morning,
Possible pole sighting in San Francisco.
While looking for visual evidence of my solution I can upon an interesting pole that you guys might not have considered.
See attached pic.
This long pole runs along lover’s lane.
Have an excellent day!

Lover’s lane trail is on the presidio
The Presidio was not open to the public until shortly after 1994 when it was turned over from being a military base.
The trail did not exist at the time the book was published.

Darn,
Thanks for the info. After I read more on the “Wood Line” I see that he Andy never visited that place until after 2006. OOps.
