This is absolutely a possiblility
the arched window in the cliff matches the windows in the tower of the original cliff house.
the cliffs in the picture look just like the ones cliff house is on or seal rock near cliff house.
Unfortunately (don't know when the last time you were at cliff house) but Cliff house is closed and fenced off and undergoing major renovations (including new landscaping)
There was absolutely no way of getting in there.

Mark twain did write about cliff house- (he lived in san francisco for 2 years and was quite prolific. I made a list of the objects of Twains attention. using golden gate park as the center. and it was quite easy to find something Twain wrote about in every single direction. (except due south)
which makes sense because at the time there wasn't really anything south of Golden Gate Park.

Wow, those cliffs around Cliff House in the virtual tour look just like the cliffs in the picture.  The door in the cliff could be a primitive rebus, meaning "cliff house."  I think you need to focus on the verse now.

OK, I am now convinced that verse 7 has more ties to image 1 than the NO image.

It's at that cliff house Falcon. Figure out how to get it!!

Oh I hope not
seriously the ground around it is all gone. they are totally redoing it , and the parking area and the facade and the building was totally gutted.

perhaps it is near the house and not on the house grounds. what happens when you look near that totem pole in the picture?

[maltedfalcon]

Thats what I meant its gone,
The totem pole is gone, the sidewalk is gone, the camera obscura building is gone, the mechanical museum is gone...
its a large work area with bulldozers cranes and
Its totally being remodeled. you cant get there now.

[wilhouse]

That's what happened to me in Hermann Park.  It's a frustrating puzzle when the pieces no longer exist.

Have you tried talking with the foreman about out thoughts on the treasure? Perhaps someone found something, or maybe they'll let you poke around sometimes.

I wish Preiss would let up and let us know when we've submitted a correct solution, but he's just not that interested.

Glad you could finally join us on these boards Abqram.

Let me tell you, after day after day, week after week, month after(....yeah, you get the picture) of trying to get my wife interested or involved in my crazy escapades to no avail...it sure is nice to have a buddy of mine hooked.

Welcome again...and feel free to spill you guts (no matter how crazy the ideas seem) as falcon pointed out - it's good to have new ideas circulating around here.

[abqram]

Well Mr. Fox,

I must admit, it's pretty entertaining.  And I love doing research.  Until my cliff house theory is disproven, I may move onto another picture/verse.  I find picture 6 intriguing.  I may start looking at that one.

P6 huh?  Welcome to the Sunshine State  8)

Hey Falcon....are you still looking into the GGP as a possible location?  If so, thought you might find this interesting.....found it in our local paper today:

"{DESIGN CHOSEN FOR AIDS MEMORIAL

San Francisco -- A design by two New York architects was declared the winner Wednesday in a competition to create a centerpiece for a 7-acre garden in Golden Gate Park, the only federally recognized AIDS memorial in the country.      "Living Memorial," by Janette Kim and Chloe Town, features a stand of black carbon fiber trees, a charred wood deck and a burned, barklike walkway that in time will sprout greenery -- elements borrowed from a fire-scarred forest to evoke a sense of loss and renewal.    "While the design is at first frightening, it is also rich with the eventual triumph of life," said Ken Ruebush, who co-chaired the international contest that drew 201 submissions from 24 countries.}"

to make a long story short.....If indeed you are  correct about GGP being a casque site, than wouldnt a 7-acre garden possibly cover the burial site?  Wonder if we should talk to BP before the work begins?  Just a thought......

[maltedfalcon]

well the odds that out of 1017 acres the 7 that they are going to use for the garden
are about, well.... 145.28571428571428571428571428571 to 1

Anyway I have studied, read mapped and queriied and plotted, and Im pretty sure I've got it
I just have to get free of work and go dig.
maybe in a week or two...

But with odds like the above I better get going.

[fox]

lol....love how you put all of the extra numbers after the decimal point making the number look A LOT larger.  Looking at 145 to 1 doesnt seem near as large....yet still quite good odds on our part.  But, with our luck....having located a possible/probable spot only to have it covered by an AIDS garden would be quite a shame.

Good luck on your upcoming dig Falcon....keep us posted and take lots of pics

Fear not,
the Aids Memorial Grove already exists,
they are tallking about adding stuff to the already exisiting memorial
not enlarging it, but building inside.
and its at the other end of the park from where I will be digging.
