It seems that pin updates have been pretty variable in the past. Not sure there is anything to worry about quite yet.

Fragment 11 Location posted by the Mechanic

"At the north-west of a silver lake and the water above it, you may rest. Find a good place to sit, a bench perhaps, and wait until none other are present. Then, retrieve the fragment beneath you."

This silver lake?

If it were on the East, I would say the Meadow would be a nice place to look:

In one of the Panoramio photos posted to Google Earth.. At the corner of Tesla Dr and West Silver Lake Dr. there is a bench. This would be at the NW corner of the Ivanhoe reservoir and Silver Lake. The bench does not show up in Street View, but the Panoramio photo was taken in August and the bench looks new.

Nice! That was a pain to find. Looks like the ones in the Meadow.

Is the package going to be there in the morning? Is anyone going to be in the area? If not I might be able to drive into LA after rush hours.

Best of luck to arthurdent11389 on the Silver Lake retrieval! We'll be keeping our fingers crossed that it's an easy find.

Success !
I found fragment # 11 at the bench in heathian's picture above at 8:30 am local time.
I will take and post pictures later, after I get off work, which I got to after I "overslept".

I haven't opened yet. I hope there aren't instructions to go somewhere else to find something else.

Anybody want to guess how it was hidden at the site ?

Was it attached to the bench support?

Close guess.

The fragment was not a box of any type, but a large black envelope - and it was taped to the underside of the bench with 4 pieces of white tape.
