	CLUE NUMBER THREE (from central New Mexico): For the Hidden Journey: Rebels are drawn to exceeding the limits of accepted behavior. However innocent, there is a cost, as such displays attract unwelcome attention. For the Puzzle: Here is the third set of 5 letters of the puzzle/cryptogram: i x r c r To solve the puzzle, collect the other 13 parts and assemble them in order. This is part 3.                                     The Story: You know, this crossing the lines without hitting any of those little bumps is not easy. Try it and you'll find out. It takes real concentration. In New Mexico I'm practicing on an empty stretch of I-state, just weaving back and forth trying to find the right rhythm while Alex is dozing. I'm really in a groove, hitting three clean four-wheel transitions in a row when all of a sudden I'm jerked right out of my body by this loudspeaker voice saying, "Pull over." I look in the rear view mirror and nearly drop a brick because there's a state trooper right on my bumper in a big Dodge, the kind with a 460 for high speed chases. I start saying, "Oh man, oh man," and Alex wakes up. (continued in Chapter Three of I-State Lines) All content and coding copyright © 2006 by Charles Hugh Smith, all rights reserved
