Correct. The file was "e.iso" but was really just a flat text file. One thing I did notice just now is that the ISO file is set to 'hidden.' I have Windows set to show hidden files, so I didn't notice that before, even though the icon is semi-transparent. D'oh. So, I wonder if weren't necessarily supposed to see the file initially and that the 'dead' image was trying to point to that. Dunno.

Well, obviously they didnt want us to see it! I mean, for starclan's sake, its a darn arg! we are supposed to find things, so... d'oh, as you said.

OH CRAP!!! Well, sorry tp hear that man ill be praying for you- but in the meantime, im gonna go pass out cuz i (do not at ALL) feel too well. I have one favor to ask of you, mr toasty. Would the coordinates be different if you flipped the "e" picture on its side??? I've been wondering that for a bit. Very Happy

like i said, I got no clues, but mabye mr.toasty will get something in ely, iowa

Well, a lot of Cedar Rapids is currently underwater due to extreme flooding and many of the roads in the area are closed or will be closing this weekend. I don't think there is anything in Ely, but if there is it's going to be at least a week before I'd venture that way again. We've been a little luckier in Iowa City for now, but that will all likely change this weekend.

hallo evryone! im back stuff and vacation started so i hope this starts up again. Now, im just picking around here, but is there a reason that the box with the e is in that place, or is it just there??? and, why is the e in the top left corner??? picking at air... Crying or Very sad

EDIT: if you flipped the image on its side, would it give you different coordinates?????????? id try it, but i have no clue on how to get coordinates.

The file we were given was e.rar. Inside that was an image with an 'e' in a square, plus a file called e.iso. This file wasn't actually an iso file, just a plain text file. Whole lotta e's and a false extension. What can we make of all that?

e in a square with a large "X"
e with extension ISO
e with extension RAR
clickable e's on bullerman.net
ely, Iowa

still a blank. I'm still sifting through all the new files and video though. Maybe I'll have an epiphany.

Glad to see this has progressed somewhat. Anyone going to see what's at those coordinates?

Good to have you back again, natas!

I actually did a quick driveby a few nights ago on my way to a friend's birthday in CR. I was in a real hurry, so unless there was something very obvious I didn't have time to poke around. No GPS, so I was relying on Google maps. The area was smack in the middle of the back yards of several houses and people stared at me a bit as I drove by. This lead me to believe that it's likely not a drop after all.

I think we're meant to use where the coordinates point to with the rest of the clues from that link somehow. The coordinates are located in a town called Ely (pronounced ee-lee in the local tongue). In fact, they are the exact coordinates given for Ely on Wikipedia:

I've listened to it several times. It just sounds like Craig drowning, gasping for air, and trying to call for help to me.

zinc8900 · Posted: Fri May 30, 2008 8:27 pm

Well, i learned something today (sorry)!!! Anything new? hey, someone asked about the killers voice in bathtime- Mabye we could speed it up??

An anagram is the result you get from rearranging the letters in a word or phrase to make a new word or phrase...

zinc8900 · Posted: Thu May 29, 2008 5:09 pm

Nice one Citzen Ed! Very Happy

That (in my opinion,) Could mean that there might be more subdirectories, since thats the only stuff on the screen. I would never thought of that... *ponder*

EDIT: what the heck is an anagram???
