Here it is...

Enter 94AOBKMKNV8YHUR (which comes from the postcard string between "atg" and "tag") in for the code on the emergency page to get this message:

Sorry for the double post, but I think I broke the record for most edits to a single post on that last one.

Oh, whoops! I was posting things over on the SC forum as I found them. Should have looked here first.

I may have found something connected to the "vampires + ??? = coelacanth" clue.

Coelacanth eyes are very sensitive, and have a tapetum lucidum. Coelacanths are almost never caught in the daytime or on nights with full moons, due to the sensitivity of their eyes.

Taken from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coelacanth

Vampires don't come out in daylight... Werewolves can't see the full moon?

So there are 4 pages to get to after the main geocities page. Each has a message at the end you can get by selecting the text (I've bolded it)

The vampires.html page is the one with "my favorite book." The coelacanth.html page is the one with the 19-letter cipher. What is Lehner's favorite book, and what do you add to it (or what transformation do you apply) to turn it into that ciphertext?

I couldn't find mention of Lehner's favorite book in his dossier. I did note that one his his aliases is "Noapte Prieten," which seems to mean "night friend" in Romanian. I assume he picked that moniker up during his time being a diplomat to the vampires.

Ok so I'm working on the longitude/latitude locations, the location that the "great rains" has left uninhabitable is near Barataria, Loisiana so I assume the "great rains" were the hurricaines.

the border crossing that has "dissapeared from the map" is right next to DA DA DUMMMMMM Hachita, NM!

I am way, way too amused at how his blog is a giant parody of Time Cube.

Does anyone know a place online that can have these coordinates easily plugged in? I've been Googling and I've got nothing.
