Notes: This is probably the best match for the final picture of a 4A south sign in the Journey slideshow.

Slideshow continues Sunday morning, 9am

375-mile clue

Solution: Schroon Lake, NY (Adirondack Marathon)

Note: We also see, on the bibs 87 (a reference to I-87 and 74, the road that runs east past Eagle Lake and to the Ti Ferry.

Apparently, this is the final online clue. The “final” clue is essentially the physical sign, already found.

25-mile radius? No.

Also, after the 375-mile clue is solved, we see:

Correction by Dodge on Twitter: When you solve the 5th clue vid it gets you within 375 miles of the Journey, not 25 as was written. More to come. Stay tuned.

Physical Clue, across Ti Ferry in VT

As reported earlier (bejones, 2:24pm), across the Ti Ferry into VT on 74, just before turning south on 73, a sign that reads:

This isnt the end
Its only the beginning
We cant wait to share
Where we went next
the journey is within 350 miles from here

Picture #1 – Malta Drive In Theater, Malta, NY

Notes: The Dodge Journey is north bound (and the bikes are there, just blurred because of the Journey’s speed)

Could this be a reference to Paradox, NY? Paradox Lake? Conflicting directions as a Paradox? Pair of Docks?

    • Given that they are streaming these in order (and are slowly releasing on Twitter), I stopped screen caps … We just need the end point (or somewhere near)

  29. I’m happy as long as they don’t stop at the historcal park in Woodstock. Researched that place for too long last week until I found out that they had an event today. Then I started wondering if the noise we kept hearing was the saw display.

  41. This could be far fetched, but…

    I bet we’re on our way to White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire. It’s a large area with a lot of places to look. Judging from where we are in the slideshow, Bridgeport, New Hampshire is on the way. There also happens to be an Woodstock and (my favorite) Albany right next to the forest.
