    Read my post from earlier for what it ways on the picture with the Scandinavian truck (timeflows.htm, titled "Patients.......079 110...") If you're referring to "Asia Awaits", then the answer has been given a lot of times in this thread. .

    As for all you people looking for the password on the treesign page, look -very- carefullly. Not all that you are looking for is in plain sight.

    A little tip: photoshop is your friend.

    Edit: Any way past the "DON'T STRAY FROM THE PATH" page? or is that the end?

    I see a tree with a sign on it obscuredby a vine like thing. A branch on another tree has a mark that vaguely looks like a face.

    PLay with your monitor brightness/contrast. Then the path will become clear.

    the sign reads,

    STA--- (FO)rest
    PUBLIC (FISHI)NG AREA
    DIVISIO(N OF F)ORESTRY

    In parenthesis are guesses, also with contrast at zero there is righting in the lower right of the sign, it is totally illegible regardless of settings. Putting the cursor over the illegible text opens a blank popup window. Ok ive been squinting for a while now, the second word is head, the first ends with NTH The first to letters ar totally blurred out no matter what I do.

    I assume you got the names/passwords from somewhere else? No matter

    The "Hide your sorrows" page is the place where you get the code to the "DONT STRAY FROM THE PATH" page. (ie. the Master and Betrayer" password.)

    The text in the upper left hand corner of the "DON'T STRAY FROM THE PATH" page says "How would you like it if someone came along and picked something off you?", a quote from Wizard of Oz. (Image attached for your perusal)

    He definitely seems to be taking the WoO theme now. You have the "73" at the bottom of the truck page. The "54" at the bottom of the tree one. I believe both are US routes that run through Kansas, and route 54 is known as "The Yellow Brick Road" Then there's the page title, the page name and that "hidden" quote...

    Though in the source it says "ALL IS DEAD AND GONE WHAT WAS LEFT BY THE WOEBEGONE"

    The hidden quote is the one on the image I posted.

    And I'm just that damn good, Chrono. I swear, I'm the perfect candidate for the Terran Ghost training program <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Either way, checking the TINP forums indicates that TINP needs to update, so we're currently as far as we can get until he does.

    Man that stuff about Old Dutch is really interesting. That little poem or something about the boy from Marken is really fascinating for me too, because I live like a couple of minutes away from Marken.
    <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IJsselmeer' target='_blank'>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IJsselmeer</a> Marken is the connected island to the bottom left of the picture in that link.
    Oh and that old Dutch is so weird, it's unlike your medieval English, you could probably read that old form of English, but I as a Dutch guy have no idea what the hell the Old Dutch means.

    Ah well, this riddle rocks just for adding the Dutch stuff. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
