Didn't get a reply about the word order yet am thinking the below may be the meaning of "address is one" (1). Emailed Cardkeepers to see if it's what they want:

Amtrak Station

1 East Route 66
Flagstaff, AZ (86001)


ETA: Winter Sylvana replied, copying that complete address & saying Nice Work!. While there was no further advice maybe we can eliminate some words from our list?
**admit there was a lil squee like Happy Phantom's on finding FD which then led us to the mysterious key**

Nice work! So there is a chance that all of the other clues fit together into other addresses. Let's try to figure that out.



Okay so I drew a line to every place that has been referenced so far. The Cajon Pass and the Grand Canyon are not on this map, but I tried to place the line near where they might be (which is why we go all the way down Calirfornia before crossing over to AZ on the line). It might not help much, but I thought I would do it anyway. If anyone has a better rendition, feel free to share it; I won't mind.

I googled some maps of roads and railroads and I can see that all of the places mentioned can be linked by roads and railroads....not one in specific, it doesn't look like, but they do connect (though considering the intended use of roads of any kind, this isn't surprising Rolling Eyes).

Also, following a hunch thanks to amandel, I e-mailed Winter Sylvana and her crew:

Quote:
Amtrak
233 North Grand Canyon Blvd, Williams, AZ 86046

Judging from what another Keeper told me, are we looking for specific Amtrak/Union Pacific railroad stations, such as this one in the Grand Canyon listed above?


Quote:
Great job! We admire your hard work and tenacity. Right now the Flagstaff Amtrak station is the only one that will come into play in Anna's story, the rest of the train clues were just to help point in that direction.


It almost sounds like we don't need to worry about the other clues for now, but that they might come into play later? There are other train stations to find, at any rate.

HP, no worries at all! We got the clues that we needed and that is what the goal was Smile Sorry I haven't been much help these past couple of days. I have been really sick. Pregnant and sick is not a good combo. Hopefully the worst is over Smile

ETA: I thought maybe the key could be to a locker in the Flagstaff station, but they do not have lockers. My other bit of thinking is that is goes to a file cabinet, maybe in her Father's office or maybe in Mike's office?

Hi teh_lisa: very clever on the "no lockers" at the Flagstaff Amtrak station & get well super-soon. Sarah B's AZ clue defined my address search so possibly even the other city anagrams were also just indicators for this one puzzle solve. Am super curious where this clue will eventually lead Anna.

The numbers translate to 'I fly away'



THanks for picking up my clue HP. I wondered where my email got to......

Maybe it's a suitcase hidden underneath a seat in the waiting room of this particular station? Mr. Green

Laughing S.P.I. There's an update titled "I Fly Away". On twitter Cardkeepers appears to be having an internal dialogue. Was tempted to tweet but was sorta baffled by it.

Just received an e-mail from Winter Sylvana that wasn't a response to anything I sent to them. The e-mail's subject is MEMO TO DC:

I just woke up so I haven't given it any thought unto what it means yet. *yawn*

Edit: T-Belle is a ninja! She beat me to it. Laughing

1. Quest 107


How about Jackson Family cemetery (link) outside Austin. It's quest 107 on the Texas Spirit Quest. Map here.

(Edit: Geocatching seems like a ton of fun, btw.)

1. Quest 107
2. All-American
3. PHX hub

It says three locations...but I want to say it is one. I won't, though, because they told us it was three.

PHX hub is Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

Quest 107 could refer to the geocaching mentioned by T-Belle, but "Quest" is also a type of aircraft.

The PHX HUB gives service to three airplane types which do not leave America (All-American?). Two of them have American in their name.

I suppose those are all coincidences. Confused

Edit: Yes, the riddles are a definite clue on the three locations. That particular geocaching spot is about remembering important historic figures (basically). That is, Speak to ghosts.

I think If you can't stand the kitchen, get out of the heat when you're done. is referencing the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, as phoenixes are mythical creatures of flame.

I am thinking about the others and how they all come together. There are only three locations but six lines. That most likely means that there are two lines for each of them. I doubt they are in order for us.

The track-tion leads me to trains again, and PHX has a train system that also "works at a higher elevation" in that it has a bridge it runs on that goes over taxi-ing airplanes. It also runs under an actual railroad, which is not relevant but interesting nonetheless.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHX_Sky_Train

ETA: the way this reads to me is each of the 3 top clues then has 2 lines associated with it. So

Quest 107 has 1)Speak to ghosts and 2) tell no one.

All-American has 1)Work quickly under one sun and 2) If you can't stand the kitchen get out of the heat

PHX Hub has 1) The wise one works at a higher elevations and 2) at the center of the track-tion.

The bit about the kitchen and the heat reminds me of Hell's Kitchen which is a neighborhood in NYC and also has a construction company called All American, but that seems like a stretch. Still pondering...

You know reading the newest post I feel like all 3 clues have to relate to places in Phoenix. Scratch my Hell's Kitchen idea. The Amtrak station there has to fit in as well, so maybe the hub isn't Sky Harbor but the Amtrak station instead?
