#2 Mission Version 2a (Updated 08.06.2012) This is a day of inspecting the USFS cabins north of Yes Bay Lodge. A USFS Ranger was commenting to a friend at Yes Bay that he would be doing all the inspections by himself today since his helper called in ill. You simply asked if you could ride along and help him with the inspections. Well it's called "YES" bay for a reason ... buckle up! We start out at the dock at the Yes Bay Lodge, then begin flying to the cabins one by one. At each cabin, we need to make sure the supplies listed for the cabin are in place, for those cabins where people are lodging, this is a good time to say "hello" and make sure they are OK. When done with each cabin inspection, move on to the next one on the route.

The Lost Treasure of Timuquan Series - by Brad Allen | |
#1 Misty's Place (added 07.13.2012) You and your assistant, Nina, have just arrived in Ketchikan Alaska from your museum offices in Vancouver. You're at the airport and you have arrangements in place to spend the night at a nice little lodge called "Misty's Place". As a pilot with float plane and bush plane experience, the museum and antiquities company you work for have leased several aircraft at Ketchikan to get you around as you help uncover a mystery involving the local first nation tribe. You don't have many more details other than that. Right now you have some time to explore and there's a Cessna 172 available to use so go ahead and fly around the area a bit if the weather is favorable. It's beautiful up here in the Misty Fjords region of Alaska. Scenery Needed: PFJ, Misty's Place | |
#2 Sewall Lodge (added 07.13.2012) You and Nina had a nice overnight stay at Misty's Place. Now it's time to find out why you've been sent up here. All you know is that you have a meeting with a tribal elder later today and you are to fly to Sewall Lodge on the island of Haida Gwaii. Once you get there, enter the lodge and your next instructions will be revealed to you then. On your trip to Haida Gwaii, you've been asked to see how some of the lighthouses near Prince Rupert are doing. This is an early dawn mission so check them out too. Once you get to Sewall Lodge, you go inside and are told that you're next mission will have you flying a Beaver out to Prayer Lake, but why? Scenery Needed: PFJ, Sewall Lodge |
|
#3 Prayer Lake (added 07.13.2012) After entering the Sewall Lodge, you are given a private message. It says that the local first nation people want to meet with you at a sacred tribal location called "Prayer Lake". Xavier, who runs the lodge, shows you a map of the location and you find out that it's a small and dangerous lake situated on the side of a mountain. You're still not entirely sure why they want to speak to you but based on your profession of ancient history, antiquities collection and archaeology, it must be something historical and important. Xavier has a floatplane waiting for you at the dock. Objective: Take off, fly to Prayer Lake. Land and listen to dialogue before you end the mission. Scenery Needed: PFJ, Sewall Lodge, Prayer Lake |

#4 Timuquan's Map (added 07.13.2012) After a harrowing approach and a landing you survived. You just met with a Haida native tribal elder at a small cabin on Prayer Lake. Nina translated that the people believe you can help them recover a huge treasure of gold that was lost long ago. He handed you an old piece of paper, very faded and hard to decipher. He said "Here is the map of Timuquan. It was lost for a very long time but now we have it back. Timuquan fought for and gathered a large fortune of gold. It was taken by a tribe of his warriors from Spanish Conquistadors who had once stolen it from the people of the region. He held onto this great fortune of gold but became obsessed with the power he held and was corrupted by the treasure. He set about hiding the treasure so that nobody could ever steal it from him or his descendants. It is believed that this map will help locate it. The Treasure is ours but help us find it and you will be rewarded." You humbly take possession of this artifact and agree to help see if the map can be used. It's now time to return to Sewall Lodge to spend the night doing some research on the fragile parchment you now hold onto. Objective: Take off, fly from Prayer Lake then return to Sewall Lodge. Land and listen to dialogue before you end the mission Scenery Needed: PFJ, Sewall Lodge, Prayer Lake |

#5 Toby Can Help Us! (added 07.13.2012) In your possession now is the map of Timuquan. You know that you've been brought in to examine this old map. One that's been rumored to have a possible route to the long lost Treasure of Timuquan. If it exists. The story has been passed down through generations for centuries and they believe it to be true. Now they want you to assist with an expedition based on a small, almost impossible to decipher piece of paper. You have a friend named Toby who studies the history of the Haida people and hope that he can help you read the map. He has been operating a fishing operation up at Nisga'a Glacier Lake and knows the language. Maybe he can help with the symbiology and other markings on the map. Objective: Take off, fly from the island of Haida Gwaii over the Hecate Strait. Then into the Portland Canal and up a narrow valley where you'll finally arrive at Nisga'a Glacier Lake. Land and listen to dialogue before you end the mission. Scenery Needed, Sewall Lodge, Nisga's Glacier Lake |

#6 "The Old Crow" (added 01.07.2013) Toby has deciphered some things on the map. That's good because the only text you were able to make out from the faded native words that are still visible was "Follow The Old Crow" There are many more phrases which are inscribed on the hand me down parchment you examine. But what kind of clue is that? Not much, but something to remember. As an archaeologist, you know it's foolish to dismiss any clue. Even something as vague as, "Follow the Old Crow" but Toby said that the drawings and words on the map are describing places that are similar to some folklore locations in the vicinity. Toby says he believes each of the locations exist and he knows where these may be. He says that the first clue seems interesting because there is an old shipwreck named by the locals as the home of the old crows or, "Shaan ts'axweil neil" the "Old Crow Home". And it's always been rumored to be a haunted and dangerous place. Toby says the map describes several other local area landmarks, but for now. Let's go find that shipwreck! |
