Although I’ve been known to make errors, I thought steps were accurate. The’re supposed to be. Intersections are tough somethimes as you often have multiple dots to choose from.

I would say it’s more likely that if mistakes were made, they were on our end. Mindy and I started putting some wiggle room into our counting and kept our head up to see the landmarks on the map when they happened. So far, so good!

If anyone is still around, I need another nudge.
For some reason, Jack’s strides are nothing like mine. It took me forever to complete the last treasure map and I’m off to a terrible start on this one.
I have the first answer. I found the second landmark (but it is shown from a different perspective than I expected)
I’ve tried interpreting my directions and turns and many different ways. No matter how long I reflect on it, I can’t find that 3rd landmark…

One other comment.
I even asked the authorities for help, but they couldn’t find a match either…

I found it easier to back up a little once you can see number two as it sort of frames the view in the right way to match the landmark.
The best way I can describe it is that I was always told to keep my eyes down in a big city and not make eye contact (from a small town). It’s mostly just useful because it keeps you from tripping over anything. At the end of the road I can’t help but look up at the buildings, I’m still a tourist at heart.
Speaking of streets; if I find one I really like then sometimes I’ll just walk up one side and down the other doing a little window shopping.

Disregard what i said in puzzle 4 about the map turns being correct.
I got lost this time following my method.
Though found everything in the end.

And I cheated on the last answer.
