Go get it!!

A fellow sleuther and I visited the Arkansas Visitors Center at mile marker 2 on I-40 the other day. We examined every tree and found nothing.

TEAS go in and T'S come out.

That's STATES in my book--for what purpose, I know not.

Oh well. I felt pretty good about that lead. I hope you still had fun searching.....

My wife and kids and I went on our hunting trip for the past two days and came up empty,
but still can not think that I am not correct.....


T Cups go in but coming out are Jerseys (New Jerseys) (T-shirts are thought to distract
you from the state visual)

The highway is thought to be the Garden State Parkway...this is hidden because
no map os going to display its route number: 444. (4 cups, 4 blenders, 4 jerseys)

The mile marker we looked at were 18 (the spot of the Mi - mile)
and also 122 (C*3 + H *3 + O * 5 + N ) using the numerical values
according to the alphabet.

The rest areas were searched and no tree symbol was found.

I presnt this so others can follow our ideas. Good Luck.

Very clever. I like the different view. Coolness.

I also thought maybe NJ.
NJ is state # 3 and the text on this floor has a few references to 3.
(Plus I am in NJ so I am encouraged by the fact that it could be so close to home.)

How was the traffic on the GSP?...Memorial Day weekend, great shore weather, etc.
I hope you found a little fun and adventure.

... is probably O2N2H4, or oxamide. Seems a little obscure, used in fertilizers.

A quick search reveals an I-335 in Kansas with only 1 rest area (at mile marker 132). Don't see how that fits. In Oregon, there is a rest stop at exit 335 on I-84. Don't see how that fits either.

It's been mentioned that this floor may work a little differently. If so, maybe this number will have some user after all.

Or since the diagrammed molecule is C2H3O5N, maybe 235 is supposed to be highlighted, rather than 335. There is at least a mile 235 in Ark. on I-40, though no exit with that number I guess.

The bottom row of the table (excluding the two rows of lathanides and actinides) contains several unnamed elements, where the U is prominent, but the small letters fill in the word for one in 3 languages, Uns, Uno, and Une. Uns and Uno are in highlighted colors. Perhaps 1+1=2 or 11 for mile.

After several humbling attempts (just over 20 hours of driving), breaking a shovel, and getting a pretty bad case of poison ivy/oak from a night search...ugh, I've worked out the flaws and may have a complete hunt card. I have to say floor 12 isn't much different than the others in method, but the clues are somewhat harder to discern and require some research, and so I'm going to venture a guess that the 12th number will have been hid by Dr. Quello.

As itchy as I am, I'm too knackered to search for anymore numbers. Good luck twelevers.
