 		Missing!
I stopped by yesterday and followed a few signs, before the rain chased me away. Did anyone find anything of interest?

(I did also find what looked like a code made out of metal shapes, but was unsure if it was related...)

 		Hmm... looks like the metal code was related after all. Sadly cyptology is not a strength of mine. (I'd post the photo here, but don't know how to apply a spoiler shield to it.)

 		can you place a marker on google maps where this was found? i think these are directions.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

looking at this: http://stampsfromelsewhere.com/updates/updates.html I'm pretty sure that

[ ]..[ ]
...[ ]

means south.

the squares are numbers. steps? donno what the hexagon means though. then you have a trolly and a mailbox at the end which i can only guess are physical clues for something like that around the area.

so as it stands the message looks to be:

1 hexagon north
4 hexagon east
1 hexagon north
trolly car
mailbox

 		I can add some information and confirm one fact.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

A hexagon means "block" as in a city block.

And there is a caboose with a mailbox here: http://wikimapia.org/10610134/The-Caboose-at-555-De-Haro-Street with an other clue inside. A model building with a "D. Henry" sign and a code on the roof which I think translates as "4 blocks north." I don't have the orientation of the hobo code in my head yet, but I figured it was north or east. I tried various permutations today, walking around, but no dice today. The closest I could get was a "Henry Hall" 4 blocks north of de Haro and 18th, but didn't see anything that clued me into EPS activity. I could not pull the model out of the box to see if there was anything additional and did't want to use excessive force. I do hope I just overlooked something on my excursion.

Code in the mailbox on the model building
[ ].[ ].[ ]

Hexagon with points toward characters (rotated from the message in the park)

You want to go four blocks east. You'll find D Henry in the same place on the real building as it is on the model. Pop on in and have a good long look at it, the shopkeepers don't mind.

 		Wow! I highly recommend that people take the time and participate in the search for Jimmy. While challenging, it is also quite rewarding.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
And while you are at it, do plan on spending plenty of time getting to know D Henry. He has a wealth of information that will help you on your search!

 		 Where to start?
Hello there! I hate to thread-jack, but since there's no proper forum for this EPS thing, this is the only option.

Where does a new person start? Is it even plausible to start at this point? It looks like it's been going on for a bit already since the start point was in May. I'm hesitant to read through this thread for more information as I don't want to stumble onto any spoilers.

I unfortunately only moved to SF spring of last year and missed out on Jejune, but would love something similar like EPS.

Any help?

Thanks!
-Sean
