Okay, so who is going to the Texas State Cemetery in Austin?

[Coquette612]

Re: Treasure Hunt: Clue #8

Johnston was buried in New Orleans, Louisiana. In 1866, a joint resolution of the Texas Legislature was passed to have his body reinterred to the Texas State Cemetery in Austin The re-interment occurred in 1867. Forty years later, the state appointed Elisabet Ney to design a monument and sculpture of him to be erected at his gravesite.

IMO, if I were in Texas, I'd head out to the cemetary anyway.

Re: Treasure Hunt: Clue #8

or is that asking too much??

Re: Treasure Hunt: Clue #8

well this clue is very specific to one location it seems... Makes me wonder if the past clues have all been specific for one paticular City.

This whole time I assumed each clue was related in some way... that doesnt seem to be the case anymore

I think they're probably just trying to get the ball rolling. Maybe what's at the location will have more information on what to do with the other clues.

Some of the clues are directly related to one another. For example, clues 1, 2, and 4 seem to be directly related.

I, too, have a reeling they are just trying to get the ball rolling by putting an obvious clue out there. I am surprised, however, that no one has reported back after checking out the graveyard in New Orleans.

Re: Treasure Hunt: Clue #8

The graveyard is no longer in New Orleans....

[gtrplyr7]

Re: Treasure Hunt: Clue #8

Again, I think it would be wise to check both.

I'm surprised no one has posted about checking either, though.

Re: Treasure Hunt: Clue #8

Hello Texas! Anyone out there?

Re: Treasure Hunt: Clue #8

Considering there's maybe 20 people even doing this, it doesn't surprise me at all.
