Of course! The 8th Spoke, Chenchey, Hanso...they're all RUN BY THE SIMPSONS! It all makes sense!

Well, I had some time to improve the first image

Now it even looks like a circle

It's relatively accurate 'cause I used the coordinates of the cities Wikipedia provided....I guess for real and perfect accuracy we should know the exact locations. I think in that way we would have one and only one point where the lines cross each other...And this point might be somewhere around St. Louis. Perhaps Elliott got something about this place from his brother's documents...

PS: I see Monty Burns as "The man behind the curtain"

Finally a substantial breakthrough! BRILLIANT work guys!

"I fear Chenchey may have taken something dear to me"? I'm becoming more and more convinced that R33P is either Sara (skilled with computers), or John or Loretta working with Sara's help in the hacking dept.

BTW, is it just me missing something, or has the "About" section on Niel's page been updated? I probably just missed the second page the first time around...but either way, there seems to be a gap in his autobiography. He refers to some kind of tragic event in his youth which Loretta helped him overcome. The first page ends with his fond memories of sailing with his father as a child, then suddenly he's 22 and in a state of despair. What happened? Later he writes:

"I still felt somewhat lost, like a part of me was still perpetually at sea. Instead of giving in to past tendencies, though, I decided to find my place in the world through something more tangible: science."

Lost at sea...did his father drown? And has the same thing happened to Niel? I think we should investigate his boat a little more.

Lookie what I found:

The center point for the locations is:
Grantfork, IL. Specifically, slightly above what looks like a river or stream located south of Grantfork.

I tried plugging Grantfork into the end of Chenchey's website, nothin' though.

Edit: D'oh, I had it as MI instead of IL.

Wonderful work everyone! I'm so glad Crimson Angel finally solved that clue!

In my opinion this last clue of R33pi (which i also believe is Sara) is kind of the end of this chapter, so I think we should update Elliott about our findings, to get a new Blog-entry ASAP!

[MercenaryMuffin]

I posted the information about Grantfork in the WISH blog, maybe Elliott will know something about it.

Great work on the locations Seriousm and Mercenary Muffin!

I actually got a little chill when I saw that 8 Spoke Wheel
