So far it seems like the Presidents are just motivated to find the Seven Cities of Cibola. Or the cities of gold. Or probably just the gold really, since they don’t seem interested in asking the Native Americans like Estevanico did. I’m not sure why this would be kept a secret. It would be a pretty huge archeological discovery. Even if they wanted to keep all the gold for whatever reason, I feel like they could have just stripped the cities of the gold before announcing it to everyone. Maybe they never found them.

I still haven’t received any real interest from authorities either. I mean, I started getting a lot of spam phone calls recently. I think everyone is getting those. And there was a weird echo the other night when I was on the phone with mom. I guess the signal could have been bad, but cell phones haven’t really acted up like that for like 10 years now. Maybe when I start revealing some of the crazier stuff I’ve seen in the book. Or maybe they just realize since I’m not solving these coded messages that I won’t be able to get any real information out of the book anyway. I guess its time to start learning how to solve these codes! Or maybe I can get a solver online or something. I don’t know, I will figure it out later.
