Wax Cylinders

Contents

As Grayson Ozias IV traveled, he recorded his adventures on wax cylinders, which also contain clues about where players in 2009 might find his artifacts.

Intro video

On levis.com/goforth there is a video featuring (presumably) members of Levi's staff embarking on a journey of their own, locating the buried Ozias fortune, documenting it and re-burying it. The vocal track on the video is a letter from Grayson Ozias IV explaining his desire to explore America (see: Travel Diaries, Intro Video)
