For clue #30, I have saved the sound file into MP3 and WAV formats. You can download below. Load them into a program such as Audacity so that you can slow them down...even to 1% as fast as normal.

I admit, I am clueless when it comes to Morse Code.

It looks like the questions are getting a little harder each week. This week we have 2 questions that have two parts and lots of possible answers for each part. Has anyone come up with proof of a right answer on second part of #28 and all of #30.

I was away on an ELVIS cruise...so I started late on these clues, but my other team mate was working hard on them..I think we have all 5 of the answers and at least 90% sure...we will keep researching to feel 1005 sure...

This is where the translater program came from if anyone wants to download it & Spaz's file and run it thru "Audacity" like he suggests.. then try runing thru trans. again.. might get cleaner version & might be Marlboro's person is pretty bad a morse code.

found this on another site.

DIT AND DASH MADE THE SERVICE CREATED BY THE COCPPEXCO OLD NEWS. IN WHAT CITY AND ON WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK WAS THE FINAL DROP MADE?"
COCPPEXCO is the abbreviation for the official name for the Pony Express, the CENTRAL OVERLAND CALIFORNIA AND PIKE'S PEAK EXPRESS CO.
I called the Pony Express National Museum in St. Joseph, Missouri, and was told by them that the final drop was at Sacramento, California on Thursday, November 21, 1861.
If you go with that, your answer would be:
Sacramento, Thursday

3 reptile - rattlesnake in picture
4 fish - apache trout in picture
5 fossil - petrified wood in picture
6 gem - turquoise on bolo tie
7 state neckwear - bolo tie
8 state colors - blue and gold - stripes on coffee cup
9 state seal - on health certificate on wall
10 state cactus saguaro - i think the small one on left top is a small saguaro
11 State tree - palo verde - possibly the tree on the menu

 

[davidrobert2]

i come up with 11 state symbols, someone else replied they saw a statue of a wren and someone else saw a statue of a tree frog. there is also another state symbol , the state amphibian which is also a frog. i can't find any of the last 3 items.

"... when workers completed the transcontinwntal telegraph system in October 1861, the Pony became obsolete. The last delivery of Pony Express mail arrived in San Francisco on November 20, 1861. ..."

marlboro question 28

on the silver or stainless steel counter there are 3 piles of dishes and to the left is a small bronze statue that looks like a bird. I could be wrong - maybe it is the tree frog?
