 		Yeah, I was looking up and down the streets around Empire State using street level view on Google Maps, but the shots are just way too blurry to see any good detail. I kept on trying to see this logo on a building across the street from Empire. The aproximate address was 30 W 33rd St, New York, NY, United States. It was so blurred, but something about the logo kept catching my eye. I'm pretty sure it was just my overactive mind trying to find a clue, but I thought it looked like 2 elephants with their trunks meeting.
I wouldn't put too much stock into it though because it was definitely close to doing an inkblot test when it came to how blurry it was. I'm sure I was just seeing what I wanted to see.


Edit: No street view available for the London Coords

 		London Street view
Not sure the London site needs a street view, as we've established it is near the Millenium Wheel/London Eye, and the most recent image (near the "big wheel") reiterates that, and there are about a billion pictures of the Eye on Flickr alone.

Got the trailhead too...



I've got a weird feeling about this, but I'm not going to say anything for fear of the jinx...



I got the same feeling I think, possibly one of my favourite PMs... so although I didn't get the trailhead, I do believe I will follow this one closely.

If I remember correctly, aren't there several statues near the London Eye, like the statue of Boadicea and the Dali clock statue? Not sure what others are there, but surely one could be the "Heralds" mentioned?

Oh and liking the start of this one already, will be watching closely.

Sorry, if I'm wrong - or it's already been figured out - but I'm not sure where the confusion is on what to look for at the Eye.

The pic that gave the coordinates seemed pretty straight forward to me. It said the password was behind the poster. So I simply assumed that there would be a poster of the pic we got - with information behind it..?

I've tried with all of them so far, and not just destegging, but photoshop'd etc ..
Problem is, I'm still figuring it out - so there is a good chance I missed it.

 		Interesting Article on Wikipedia that I don't think has been mentioned.

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

Got to it because it mentions 'Association of Electrizers' as was in a previous note. It also mentions "The God Machine".

Trout me if it's already been stated.

Consider yourself Trout ed Laughing

The wikipedia entry for John Spear was mentioned very early on. But to be fair - when I looked for the Electizers - it sent me back to the wikipedia entry.. Rolling Eyes
