Oh yes, of course. I was reviewing old posts to ensure I didn't forget anything... turns out I did!

Last night I e-mailed ironnikki's suggestion of the museum to Eden and she replied she will head there tomorrow and see what/who is at the painting. So hopefully soon we will hear what happens!

Thanks, holly. It's probably better for her to hear it from someone she's already in contact with than some random guy, haha.

I went to the Dallas Museum of Art and viewed the Georgia O'Keeffe painting "Yellow Cactus." I didn't see anything or anyone unusual. Nobody approached me, and nobody seemed to be lurking around waiting or watching.
Here is the card that was affixed to the wall near the painting. Not sure what the numbers and letters at the bottom mean.
Georgia O' Keeffe, American 1887-1986
Dimensions: 30 x 42 inches
Medium: Oil on Canvas
The Patsy Lacy Griffith Collection

Well the last line is

stophim after ROT 13.
01-02-60 of course looks like a date, but not sure of its significance right now.

01-02-60... Three points. Three points on a triangle. It could very well correspond to the bus lines. Check out the map of downtown Dallas. There is a 1, a 2, and a 60. And you can make a triangle to connect them. There are a few places in the triangle. Baylor Medical, Dallas Theological Seminary, First Presbyterian Church... Maybe where she has to go falls within that area...

I don't have time now, but seeing as her mission is called Triangulation, someone should try to use the three points and find the center of the triangle.
EDIT: Well, I emailed her and told her my idea, but I had to sleep because of classes today so I wasn't able to get the answer. Either way, this was posted on the blog.
"Ok, I checked out the bus routes and also triangulated the three locations, but so far have come up with nothing. Micah and I are putting our heads together to see if we can figure out anything else regarding the numbers on the painting, and the original clue I was given about the Yellow Cactus.
I'll post an update if we figure it out!"
Looks like that was a dead end. Anyone got a better idea?

I did a search for January 2, 1960 and found that was the date JFK announced his candidacy for president. He of course was assassinated in Dallas. Maybe she needs to visit the scene of the crime at Dealey Plaza or the Texas Book Depository...
Now that I've typed this it seems a stretch, but I'll leave it here in case it helps...

Map Looks like we all coming up with great ideas!
After studying the clues and the map I have come up with my own result.
Here is what I e-mailed to Eden:
Quote:
Eden,
I believe the next spot to go is the corner of Commerce St. and St. Paul St. in the lower left corner of Main Street Garden Park (when looking at the map).
Here is my reasoning: I used the the numbers 4, 3, and 2 from the 'yellow cactus' clue and applied them to the numbers on the top of the map. Then I used 1-2-60 from the painting and applied them with the bus routes. I lined them up using 4 with 1, 3 with 2 and 2 with 60. The center of the triangle is the "crossroads" of Commerce and St. Paul.
I hope that doesn't sounds too convoluted... Anyway, if that makes sense to you then maybe there will be something/someone there.
Best of luck,
HollyHobbes

holly, that sounds fairly solid. Lets hope we get results! LM, I went ahead and sent her your idea, hoping it would be right in the event holly's isn't. I gave you full credit, of course.

Won't spoil the surprise in the intriguing blog update yet Stephen Hawking's Conjecture may become relevant. YAY! Ran an IP check on the CPA Site & it looks IG.

Good job LatentMoths! It's good the clue had nothing to do with the bus routes because I was getting annoyed looking at that map!
