We have something of yours that you should retrieve ASAP. There are three locations:

Tell no one.

Work quickly under one sun.

If you can't stand the kitchen, get out of the heat when you're done.

The wise one works at a higher elevation,

at the center of the track-tion.


im going to assume i live nowhere near these locations.... Sad sad times.

 		Just to keep things tidy. From the prev. page: 1) "StorQuest, the storage place, is on North 107" & 2) the "On the Road" cipher reads: Jack has a package for you.

 		THere is also another StorQuest (not even sure if this is the right answer but it seems sort of logical) at the corner of North 107 and West Indian School Road. I was looking for a Jack in the Box, but none on 107. And I am not sure how the ghosts fit in. No cemeteries that I can find that fit.

 		I got this too, (simply titled thanks for the comment) and once again was beat to the punch in posting it here Razz
I am not good with codes but I am still trying to figure out the text.

ETA:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
a vigenere cipher with 'american' as a passphrase gives you 'speaktojune' for the first set of letters but nothing sensible for the second...


ETA2:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
vigenere with passphrase 'airlines' for the second half gives you 'attheticketcounter'


my first real code solve! yay!

 		We got Jack at the storage depot, June at the ticket office. Just one more to find.

Edit: If June is the contact at the airport, who is the contact at the sports stadium.

 		I got the same cipher, while taking my nap, for emailing my solve about the StorQuest. I didn't realize someone had also posted it on the blog.

Beaut solve of the StorQuest location, teh_lisa. And naps are important even if WS says no rest for the weary Laughing Am thinking three parts of one whole 'something'?

Terminal
March 5, 2013

On North 107th Avenue in Phoenix they found a small self-storage facility. They showed the memo to a man behind the counter named Jack who gave them a small box wrapped in brown paper and packing tape. In the car they pulled off the wrapping and opened the box. Inside were keys to storage facility 021981. They drove around until they found the storage room and they all held their breath until they opened the door.

It was empty.

Except for a cactus with a card attached to it.

They grabbed the cactus (which turned out to be a fake plastic cactus) and the card and got back in the car. Anna opened the card. It had a picture of an eagle on it and said,

"Speak to June at the ticket counter."

Martin glanced at it. "It means American Airlines, of course. Which fits with the clue All American on the memo. Let's go to the airport."

Anna held up the little plastic plant. "But what about the cactus?"

Martin shrugged. "Maybe June will know."

* * *

They parked in short-term parking at the terminal and ran inside. It only took minutes to find the American Airlines ticket counter. They rushed up to it breathlessly and Martin asked to speak to June.

The young woman at the counter frowned. "Who shall I say is asking?"

Martin looked at Clara and Anna, then back at the woman. "Tell her she has a message from Devin Collins."

The young woman disappeared into the back room and a few minutes later came out with another woman, an older woman wearing navy blue suit. The older woman walked up and said, "Why do you want to speak to June?"

Anna jumped in. "She is an old friend of the family. My father told us to ask after her when we came to Phoenix."

"I'm so sorry to have to be the one to tell you this. June is dead."

 		So the part about the track-tion and elevation is not about the sky rail. The answer I was given said even HIGHER elevation. This makes me think of any of the numerous mountains such as camelback. But who is the wiseman.

As for the stadium, we were off on that one. It was American Airlines, although I still think the stadium was a clever solve. Smile

 		Just a sleepy guess that maybe it's word play & "the wise one" means a Magi that legend says traveled on Camel-back. G'nite & have fun getting answers y'all
