Wax Cylinders

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.

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)
