This solves it!

Dave did work down at Mt. Erebus with the Dante project. As you may or may not know, the Dante robot was copied visually for the robot used in the X-files episode "firewalker" which originally aired on 11-18-94.

Now, looking at the production number of that episode, it's 209.
So, switch back to the other coordinates, which point back to Boston. Go to the nearest train station, look for locker 209, and the combination for the lock should be the aforementioned 3 digit number. The next clue is inside!

Run quick! Find the clue!

Um... The nearest train station is Copley, on the Green Line (subway/trolley line). No lockers there. Maybe a donut/coffee stand.

Next nearest, and more train-ish than the subway is Back Bay Station. That has commuter rail and Amtrak, plus the Orange Line (subway). They took out the lockers a long time ago.

Re: pic: GPS Lon x Lat

whoa- thats the location of the breeding colony of Adelie Penguins.

Of course we all know that as a part of the Adelie mating ritual they search out and present each other with stones that they stack into their nest. Therefore partners are bonded and work together to raise a single young one.

of course with all the dancing and surfing penguin movies out this past year it all makes perfect sense. Now I know what the GDC has been up to.

Re: pic: GPS Lon x Lat

maybe like this-

36" Inflatable Penguin (sold out)
36 X 36
Item #: riIN-PEN36
Shipping: Estimate Shipping Date
Regular price: $7.99
Sale price: $6.49 - You save $1.50 (18.77%)
Enter Quantity:


http://www.epartyunlimited.com/36-in...e-penguin.html

you would first need to be able to pick them up and then be able to set them on their feet on a movable ice floe

this could be GDC's statement on the problems of global warming and the impending extinction of Arctic and Antarctic life.



..... gee, where are my boots......

Re: pic: GPS Lon x Lat

( oops I posted on the wrong forum)

Okay the picture on this sight shows the ground which is a mixture of green and yellow

So maybe the "and seeing Montana's green heights" comes into play here?

Maybe you already know, but "seeing Montana's green heights" was part a previous year's game hint and not, to my knowledge part of this year's at all.
