I'm still trying to work out what it means by "The Most Noble". If it's referring to the butterflies, it could mean monarch or emperor butterflies. The term is also a form of address for dukes and duchesses, so maybe that relates to it all somehow. Otherwise, I wondered if it might refer to the periodic table, and maybe means helium is the most noble, as it's the first of the noble gases.
Of course, it could be something entirely different (a code, or anagram or something), or even something totally irrelevant (but I doubt it - why make something so apparent if it's not going to be useful?), but it's been bugging me all day.

Url for the pictures

Well here is the Url for the pictures http://www.perplexcityacademy.com/libraryofbabel/theend.jpg and I agree with myf about the join in the wood you can see it is cut off at a sort of triangle like most of these type of fences. And I would say the last 2 images will only help when we or someone gets there and the first is to help us find it....

Absolutely agree. Basically, find the woods, find the wooden thing, dig and find cube wrapped in grey rubbish bag.

But we're not going to find the damned thing just from the pictures. So there must be major information in the flash stuff, not to mention in all the preceding stuff we've had. I just don't have any kind of clue where to start or what to do with any of the information.

I did try shoving the pictures (it's actually one image file) through one of those steganography programs, just in case. It didn't find anything, and I doubt there is anything hidden there, but someone might want to try again in case I did something wrong.

Yes. I'm guessing you haven't been following this that closely.

I've actually noticed a NEW message popping up on the index page besides the previous one, but I don't fancy trying to get a screenshot. Anybody else noticing/wanting to act on this? The message is smaller than the old one and seems to pop up in the upper left corner.

cold fission

just a random comment

the poem mentioned sounds a lot like robert frosts poem in cold fission, the line in particular that says if you know where i am you will know which path to take.

a little research says that robert fros lived in new hampshire on a farm which is still maintained and run by middlebury college. There is also a code on that card which may or may not be relevant.

the code is The password is Yiistia

hope it helps someone as we are unlikely to get there and check.

p.s the RNA strand and the aa's it codes for would read the same in DNA with the exception of the U being a T, there are loads of DNA recognition systems available free on the net which may be able help makes sense of it if you chnge the strands U's to T's

2 things...
When I first saw the "FRB" and "UUU" I thought of elements. Fr- Francium B- Boron and Uuu - Unununium. But I don't know what exactly those would have to do with anything.

And as for card #64 Hollywood Stars...I have found something that is very unusual about them, and I have checked all 4 that I own. In the shadow of the Y on the HOLLYWOOD sign there is a weird object that you can see when it is under a certain angle of light....Very much like the object that appears on card #220 Precision, in the lower left corner.

UPDATE
...I doubt that FRB and UUU have to do with elements, but as of November 1, 2004 Unununium has been renamed to Roentgenium and is now Rg

I'd noticed that on card 064 too. Looks like it could be a tiny o or 0, sort of shiny.
There MUST be a reason why this card is included when it hasn't got a number string or map piece. Can't see anything else odd though.
