Bird's Path & Ship
Pretty sure I got the birdie's path and ship. That is one interesting ship. Wow! I am getting some education. It is all making some sort of sense now. However, still have to figure out the one thing we need to find the actual spot of the chest. That just might take me another year.

Birdie
Discovered somethings that are really interesting. This may explain why no one can find the treasure.
The birdie that I have thought at first was the birdie is not. It is the second one.
It seems that there are 2 paths we have to follow and of course one is the birdie, and one is also all of the characters.
The reason why I say this is because one of the very first clues given to the path in the first episode is not just in Central Park but, has to do with my little birdie's path and it's history.
If I remember correctly someone had posted in the really long thread that the clues might be 'double down'. I think I had thought so also but, gave that idea up. We'll now I'm not so sure we should have given that idea up.
This might very well explain why we are having a hay of a time. Also keep in mind we were given only 4 instructions, not 5. Everyone is adding the 5th.

Re Thinking My Birdie
Roper's post along with that one thing we need to find the exact location of the chest has me rethinking which birdie's path we need to find. There are only 2 birdies I could think of. Both of them actually seem like an option. They match up to a lot of the clues which is why this is perplexing. I am pretty sure of the main path that all the pirates take but, the birdie's path has me baffled at this point. So many things point to so many areas and each birdie. AGGGGHHH!!!

 Paths
We'll I know the paths. Episodes 5, 6, 7 are mostly concentrated. Boy am I looking at things in a different light now. Thank God I took a visit there a few weeks back. Episode #8 does the same thing that the first 3 Episodes do in that they are all over the place. I have a pretty good idea on what the birdies is (pretty damn sure since every episode does give various clues to our birdie.) I'm trying right now to fine tune episode #8. What I have discovered is that what I had orginally thought was the crow's nest months ago, most likely is the crow's nest. I doubted myself which I should not have done.
So now I have to just narrow down the path and try to figure out the one big thing that is the clue to where the exact spot the chest is. I know what to do but, I'm having a damn hard time with that.

Took pictures of location Eps #5 & 6 because they were hard as hell to find on line. There were only a few glimpses. So, I now know without a doubt where these are. A lot of really nice accomodating people here.
Just wondering if Eps #7 & 8 start far away from #5 & 6 just like my Ep #3 did from #1 & 2. Most important I just hope I could find all of this on line without having to treck all the way to the locations even though my family & I had a great time.
Just wish I had a lot of time to work on this.

Hope To Start Working On This Again
Larry's King is also my King, and King of The Larrys was my King at one time.
Hope to start working on this soon. Been thinking about this every now and then. My life has been filled with lots of sick relatives for the past 2 years. My Aunt who has been very ill for 8 months with cancer passed away last month and she had helped me a bit. I am going to load up and greens & vitamins because my odds are not looking too good.
Anyway there are strong clues in this puzzle leading to all sorts of things such as Columbia aka Columbus aka the Lady of Freedom aka the symbol of the New World-The US, aka a major television network all of these are in the puzzle. There are strong clues leading to men of the pen and all sorts of people of the arts. New York City and New York State are also strong in the episode clues. What I am wondering is if the final local incorporates all these clues or what?? Not sure of that but, if it does then that would make some sort of sense as to why every Episode has most of these repeated clues. I even have a location in mind if this is so, but I still need to get to the my area and take pictures. You can't find all you need to on line.
I know without a doubt where most of Episode #3 is. (All I could says is this whole Episode is my 6 degrees of separation). Again the Captain is not following a straight and narrow path but zig zagging. No one has posted it on here nor Tweleve. I know without a doubt where Episode #5 starts. I have to get to the area and take photos because most of it is not on the internet. Hope I am able to get there soon.
With the way my life is going one of you will probably figure this out.

I See Lonely Ships Upon A City Map
Some people's path makes a figure 8 and some people's path makes a skeleton pointing finger. Mine makes a ship.
I gave up following that foot print in CP. I am going with my gut instinct and the massive amount of research I have done. The reason why this puzzle is so perplexing is because the Captain does not follow a straight an narrow path so to speak.
For Example: in episode one clue #1 starts in CP and then clue #2 goes into lower Manhattan and the clue # 3 goes back into CP and then clue # 4 goes into Queens. That is just an example. What I have gotten so far is a path that looks like a ship.

Rethinking Episode #4
I am rethinking episode #4. Not really sure if it is out of order in my path. This I have to go over with all of the characters. I have to go over it again and see what it leads to. I have started to redo the path and determind that the foot print is not the path but, something else.
I am following the instructions that were given to us and see if that makes sense.

FOR RTD
RTD - Do I think the episodes are out of order. Yes, that part I believe is correct. Yes, I believe that I am further then most people on here. I did figure out the Captain's footpath. This puzzle has many, many parts and I have never done anything like this before in my life. This is harder then sitting in an ex-nun's class. I also have a learning disability so things don't come easy to me. I am also and artist and have also done acting. However, creative people with a learning disability tend to see things different then the average Joe.
I believe that taking a long abscences from this site has greatly help me. I think paying too much attention to anyone else's ideas is not a good idea. Come up with your own first and march to your own drummer.

But we know that tom's clue is the 3 sets of four numbers together, which correspond directly to the lamppost numbers in Central Park. How could you go too far if you're still in the Park? I do believe they were serious when they said the gold isn't there. |
I'm not getting what you are saying? Are you flollowing the foot? Tom gives all those lamp post clues way back in Eps. #2 (we'll one if your not forwarding them.) There are no lamp post involved here. There are 4 separte clues he is talking about. Clue #28, 41, 42 and 43. So whatever is going on there applies. You have to go back in the episodes and find whatever clue#28, 41, 42, and 43 is and apply what Crothers is saying. There are no lamp post invloved in this one.
You have to listen to what the characters are saying.
