Map #3

Hello from Reno! I'm having some technical error and can't seem to upload my map image from NYC? Weird. Well, in any case, it looks like it’s road-trip time! Virginia City, here I come!

Did you know Virginia City was once a booming town in the 1800s, with silver and gold all around? As part of the Comstock Lode, men arrived poor and left with millions. Some famous folks who once called Virginia City home were John Mackay, of whom UNR is a beneficiary (ever heard of Mackay School of Mines?) and even Mark Twain.

Anyways, the note on the map reads “Blood + Bucket = Good Time.” Well, if that’s not a gruesome omen, I don’t know what is. Wish me luck!

NYC for me!

Hello from NYC! What a unique city! I traveled all over looking for where the next clue could be. I went to Radio City Music Hall,
Central Park
and even a random bar.

(Do you see that incriminating photo BC took of me? Someone spiked my carrot juice!)

Anyways, I even stopped to ask directions from this lovely local who was selling his demo CD.


He was quite helpful, actually. Well, at first he told me to quit talking about his mama. Then I replied that I said, MoMA, not mama. Then I think he got it. Ended up sending me to the Museum of Modern Art or the MoMA!

Once there, we all decided to take a tour. Which was really interesting. So many great pieces to see, so little time.

After spending some time contemplating a few works of art. I ended up finding my next clue, which I’ll share after I return back to Reno!

So, that’s it from NYC!
