Page 11 says Hope furnace. Underneath it says Yes! So I looked up hope furnace. It's really interesting stuff. It even has an audio clip of EVP. Which is really eerie. Go to this site http://www.ohioexploration.com/index.htm and click on structures. You'll see Hope Furnace there.

I found this site:

http://web.umr.edu/~stonehen/answers/text2.html

It's about the UMR (Univ. of Missouri, Rollo)Stonehenge project. It talks about
Analemma, which is a 'figure 8' pattern the sun makes during a year. It also discusses
the 4 pole stones and trilithon. Towards the bottom of the page it discusses the 'addition
of 19'. These are 19 'knight' stones which correspond to the 19 bluestones at the
original stonehenge

I found this site for the area mentioned on page 15, Scott Cemetery, Mace Bluff, Harpeth River and mounds "below". It's Mound Bottom in Tennessee. The first paragraph pretty much
mentions all the location clues we have.

http://www.mtsu.edu/~kesmith/TNARCHNET/MoundBottom.html

It's pretty dry reading and there are no pictures.

square pics in pages thus far

the precision and scattered location of the 15 squares made me think that their location on the page meant something. I tried pasting them all onto a single page, with the earliest ones further back in the layer if they're overlapping.

Nothing's coming from this (see attached file labelled GIF).

However, I'm now wondering if they're puzzle pieces...

Correction from Sam... I guess we have to be careful when we refer to page 18 and make sure we're talking about the same page. Wink

(Sorry, I missed a page in my original scanning and posting - pg. 18 was skipped initially. There are 24 pages. - SG)

All 24 Journal pages - easy access

Here they are all nice and neat and orderly. I tried to make a PowerPoint show, and have the file, but it won't let me put it here. If anyone wants it, I can post it. Honestly, I think this is just as useful (but doesn't have the cool transitions...)

Note the pattern of triangles with numbers on the last page, which are numbered 1-23 (and there are 23 other pages in the diary). Also, every page has its own triangle with a number in it. No triangle number on the pages is duplicated, they all go 1-23 as well. Could this be some sort of clue as to order of the notebook pages, or maybe placement of those weird squares?

phone numbers

Page 2:
401-884-1242 has a "not in service" message.

Page 3:
401-847-3300 already covered

Page 11:
740-593-2200 already covered

Page 12:
317-613-9000 has a "not in service" message

Page 15:
615-797-9052 -- Montgomeryville State Park. The bewildered woman who answered had no idea what I was talking about when I asked about a disk.

Page 16:
865-687-5800 -- Days Inn Convention Center

Page 17:
227-7129 - no area code listed. http://www.primeris.com/fonefind/ comes up with 242 possibilities. 865, from the number on the previous page, is Tennessee. If we go with nearby states, it could be Alabama (251, 256, 334), Virginia (276, 804), Georgia (404, 478, 678, 770.912), Kentucky (502, 859), Virginia (540, 703, 757), Mississippi (601, 662), or Tennessee (615, 901), unless I missed some when I went through the list.

Calling the Tennessee exchanges yields 615-227-7129, which is somebody's personal answering machine whose name is Melissa. The other one, 901-227-7129, is voicemail for a woman who works at Baptist Memorial Hospital.

I'm not going to try all the other possibilities--I leave that as an exercise for the reader.

Thanks dmax!! All in one place and you can flip thru the pages easily. You can even make the pages bigger Very Happy Now if I could only learn how to do half the things you guys do, I'd be in great shape.... Shocked

---------- (page 12) ----------

Night of April 16th. Stayed at:
Comfort Inn City Centre
530 S. Capitol Ave.
Indianapolis, IN
Phone: (317) 631-9000

==========

In Indianapolis, IN he goes to the corner of National & Madison
Heads south a few blocks to Hanna Avenue, then on to his
final destination: 1858 East Hanna Avenue. Can't figure out what is at this address.

=========

Visited the "Central State Hospital", former home of the mentally insane
Located in Indianapolis, IN
Evert's Report: http://www.webspawner.com/users/centralstatehospital/
On site was a huge gothic building called "seven steeples", built for housing women patients, as well as a similar dormitory for men

=========

Goes somewhere with mound

=========

Visits the Lemp Mansion
3322 DeMenil Place
St. Louis, MO
http://www.lempmansion.com/

---------- (page 13) ----------

Weitman Gallery of Photography
Washington University in St. Louis
721 Kingsland
St. Louis Mo
http://www.artsci.wustl.edu/~photo/Weitman%20Gallery%20Page/

=========

Golden Eagle River Museum
Located in the Nims Mansion
Bee Tree County Park
Becker & Finestown Roads
St. Louis Mo
http://www.co.st-louis.mo.us/parks/golden-eagle-river-museum.html

=========

Heads on I30S, to Hwy 21, to Hwy 110, to Desoto, MO

Not sure where he went from there. Thinks about going to Cahokia Mounds, which are east of St. Louis (Desoto is south of St. Louis)
http://medinfo.wustl.edu/~mckinney/cahokia/cahokia.html

---------- (page 17) ----------

First, the phone number the writer wrote down:

Mountain Heritage Center
828-227-7129 (last part is in the notebook)
http://www.wcu.edu/mhc/

I believe that the notebook writer called the Mountain Heritage Center to get directions to his next destination.

Judaculla Rock
Near Cullowhee, NC
Just off of Caney Fork Road (S.R. 1737)
This is a soapstone boulder covered with Native American petroglyphs. According to Cherokee mythology, these markings were made by a giant named Tsul'kula when he leaped from his mountaintop home to the Caney Fork Creek.
http://www.carolinajourneys.com/art-judaculla.html
http://rla.unc.edu/lessons/Lesson/L502/L502.htm (picture at top matched drawing in journal)

After he was done at the rock ....

Considered the store "French Broad".
90 biltmore ave.
asheville, nc 28801
This store is just off of I40 in Asheville, and was on his way.
http://www.fbfc.com/

Travelled from Cullowhee: Hwy 107, to 23, to I40, to Hwy 64, to Hwy 421S, to County 902,
Passed through Harpers Crossroads, NC while travelling on Count 902.
Continued on County 1100 to the "Devil's Tramping Ground"

http://www.secstate.state.nc.us/kidspg/devil.htm

Apparently the writer stood in the center of the circle (40 ft. in diameter) and it was "perfect!".

---------- (page 19) ----------

I95N to I64
I64 to I77
I77 to exit #77, which turns into Hwy 60
Hwy 60 to Montgomery, WV. Cross over to Hwy 61.
Hwy 61 to Mount Carbon, WV. Turned right and went to Kimberly, WV.
Headed into the Kanawha State Forest Park
http://www.kanawhastateforest.com/

Can't find a reference to what the notebook writer went to the park for. Any ideas?

Left the park via Hwy 61, to Hwy 60
Hwy 16N to Saint Marys, WV (NOTE: This is the long, slow way. There is a much quick Interstate route nearby)
Hwy 2N to Sisterville, WV

Thanks for the travelogue!

Is there a way for an interpid soul to excise data like that from the pages, so we can see what's left over as possible clues material?

And FWIW, I don't think that the squares and the triangles are related.

This, of course, means that they are absolutely related. Rolling Eyes

This looks like the final point before discman turned around and headed back East. Maybe someone in Missouri should check this out!
