Isadora expects to find lots of books on fungi.
Isadora fears that she might find some actual fungi "samples". Baumgartner is not a very clean person.
But Isadora is actually interested in seeing whether Baumgartner had any interests other than fungi. Any odd books or items?

Re: Chapter 2: The Search Begins
Baumgartner seems to have had no kind of filing system at all. Luckily, there are no fungi growing in dark corners though. Isadora finds a photo of Baumgartner with a morose looking couple, who judging by their looks must be his parents. But there is nothing untoward about his belongings, it seems.

Henry locates a state survey map of north-eastern Massachusetts. Baumgartner has made numerous markings on sites east of Aylesbury, but one location is circled – Chapochaug Mountain.

Alice tsks. "So disorganized!" she exclaims. She searches around, but she can't make sense of anything, as there doesn't appear to be any sort of system.

He looked at Isadora's find. "Did they appear morose already or is that due to their son, I wonder?" And he also scrutinised Henry's map, "I love maps" he stated.

"A reflection of the man himself, Miss Stanton?" said Owens. He frowned at the clutter, "So much mess, it's like searching a haystack and we're unsure that there is a needle."

Henry shows the map to Owens.
"Know that area at all?"

Re: Chapter 2: The Search Begins
"Hmmm, let me take a closer look." Owens smoothed the counterpane and lay the map upon the bed.
Re: Chapter 2: The Search Begins
Chapochaug is in a location not far from the hamlet of Dean’s Corners, although the larger town of Aylesbury is also nearby. Referred to as a mountain, the map shows that it is in fact a ridge. The port of Dunwich is to the north-east, and the Miskatonic River is to the north. A tunnel is marked on the map, as is a disused trunk line. It seems that the new line parallels the Aylesbury Pike, but the tunnel is located not too far from a nameless access road which runs off the Pike.

"Most likely, Mr. Owens," says Alice. "I think that map is the only needle we're likely to find in all this mess."

"This tunnel marked on the map" said Owens, studying it carefully "points us directly to the place. 'X' marks the spot."
Re: Chapter 2: The Search Begins
"Shall we see if we can learn anything more about Chapochaug and its history at the library?" suggests Alice.

"They won't mind," assures Alice. "They let Henry in there earlier."

Re: Chapter 2: The Search Begins
Suitably informed, the heroes leave the dismal lodging house and it's grumpy landlady, and return to Miskatonic. The sun is beginning to set and the temperature is dropping as they enter the library and go to the history section on the first floor. There are some volumes on local history included.
Re: Chapter 2: The Search Begins
Alice can't find anything on Chapochaug.

"I had hoped that my university days were behind me," said Owens to Isadora as they entered the Miskatonic.
