Headed to recover the Sebastopol drop. I left my email and cell numbers with a few people on IRC. Will be back tonight to provide details. Hoping someone from IRC can act as my handler so I can fire off pics ASAP.

*SEBASTOPOL DROP NOT FOUND* - FIELD REPORT BELOW

Arrived at 2:17 PM Local Time.

L0j1k acted as handler via text.

Unable to find any significant drops.

My field notes below:

Arrived at 2:17 PM. Lots of benches and small trees all over the park area. Sebastopol is beautiful and fall colors are abundant. Many vocal birds around the park.

From the parking area immediately walked on path nearest coordinates. Cooridnates were in the middle of waist-deep dry cotton branches. No trees in the middle of the field. Searched all trees on outlying path. Found two more spots with park benches. Found nothing behind any trees that would be accessible from coords. Found a T-Shaped concrete pipe in middle of field filled with animal feces, throughly searched. L0j1k advised to continue searching close to coords. Nothing found in field, no evidence of trees or tree stumps.

Searched all visible park benches and benches, and trees surrounding them to no avail.

Called off search after about an hour of looking, as it was my lady's birthday and we had an appointment in wine country.

Interestingly a marked local police car showed up when we started off on the trailhead, but he circled the parking lot and left.

As we were deep in the middle of the field looking for clues, a couple appeared and walked around the field we were in. They seemed uninterested in us and did their thing.

Below is a link to an imgur album with descriptions in each pic.

We had fun doing this and plan on returning in two weeks if the drop has not been located.

We were looking for calling cards, CDs, books, and anything else in the OTP canon.

Is it possible to ask Robby or otherwise ask PM to be more specific about drop location?

Good show drawbars, thanks for at least trying. My thoughts are, maybe this was a "false drop" that the MLPL agents used to draw us in and observe who has been intercepting the other drops. Other than that, their transmission could have been disinformation... Or perhaps a hobo found it? Lol. Again, thanks for looking Smile

ETA: hmm, that inscription on the bench is interesting...

*EDIT* Added second link.

L0J1k is the PIN Keeper, as he acted as my handler.
No one else knows the PIN and I will not use.

Since we got new 412888 Cleveland calling card we can check coordinates again.
They are stell only for TRANSPORT SHIP, we havet found "the other map" where MELTERS should be yet.



Code:
SHIP TRANSP 76.5022 4.8522 NOWAT 20:34\


Looks like TRANSPORT is heading back to the north. It passed Island Jan Mayen mentioned in 18204 and is now heading towards FINAL DESTINATION.
