Interstate 21 was trimmed to start further south in 74, so by Super 8 (79-80), the only bit left that's called "21" in any formal sense is the State Route 21, which followed the original path of US route 21 to the intersection with US 250 just north of Strasburg. That makes Oh SR 21 just under 60 miles long, so no useful mileposts.

If a milepost was still hanging around by the time of the crash, it'd be just south of Strasburg, slightly past the current I77 junction.

70.44 doesn't match any of the crossings there. A secondary issue is that the track you're on between Strasburg and Dover doesn't connect to WP AFB; the junctions further south don't have the connectivity and there's no sign of old track beds to suggest that it once was there.

Maybe it correct, but IMHO it's as plausible as the other dozen candidates around...

The I77-I70 junction is here

Looking in Google Earth, there's no useful track near Cambridge OH to connect to WP. Problem here is that both roads are interstates, and don't have grade crossings with a railroad.

So you can track the "old" SR 21 route down from Dover to Stone Creek on Count Highway 21, South on Stonecreek Road to Newcomerstown and then Route 258 and "Old 21 Road" into Cambridge.

The only crossing along that section is at Newcomerstown, and is in the middle of the town, rather than just outside.

By 1979/80 the road surface was split as it is now, so officially any crossing wouldn't have been at milepost 70.64 on SR 21. Milepost 70.64 on the "old" US Route 21 would have been near Strasburg.

The tracks south of Cambridge seem to peter out; maps from the 60's imply there was a route south to Marietta, but it's known that substantial portions were torn up when Conrail was formed (they weren't profitable). In the current network, that track is a spur, and there's no obvious continuation of the track bed to the south...

A bit [Meta] but...

It suddenly struck me that never before has JJ's damn Mystery Box (how I hate it; see here and even back here if you don't know what I'm talking about) been quite so explicit as in this trailer.

It's a box.

We don't know what's in it.

Oh, in this case, if this super8 box is the same JJ mystery box, we won't never know, what's in

Ok I was looking into the double dagger thing a bit more, and discovered something that could be just another cowinkydink.

The typographical symbol of the double dagger is also know as diesis. When I looked up diesis I found that is a musical term as well. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesis)

The main reason I bring this up is while reading the article above I saw the last sentence "approximated by 31 equal temperament's 38.71 cent interval." my first thought was perhaps our numbers are 21 equal temperament's 70.64 interval?

I know it's stretch, but I don't know music enough to rule it out.

in the "lion and the gremlin" picture i see more a owl than a gremlin...
