Dallas drop Info
I'll edit this a little better later:
Maddison received postcard postmarked Fort Worth, with the image of Dallas on the front. She, Adam, and Maddison's friend drove to a Starbucks in Dallas with the postcard, then Skunkwaffle decoded the message using T9. (As Clemetine put it, "yep...skunk put the stink down on that code.") It translated to, "Trinity hall pub."
This link shows the path the team took from Starbucks to the pub.
lg15panda linked to the chapter and page of the quote from "The Old Curiosity Shop" that T wrote on the postcard; find it here.
ApotheosisAZ located an image of the interior of the pub showing a bookcase, and QtheC called to verify.
BrightSilence was in direct phone contact with Maddison, and Skunkwaffle was in direct phone contact with Roytheboy.
Bright's phone conversation recordings are available here.

Here are two chatlog files, only edited to remove IP addresses, for those that might like to follow along after the fact.
The first one is very long, covering the time prior to the drop (Maddison and Adam travel from Nacogdoches to Dallas, making arrangements for RoyTheBoy/Alex to be there), a visit to chat by Maddison from Starbucks in Dallas and the decoding of the postcard, and the news later from the Trinity Hall Pub including the reading of the letter into chat. The main things to search for are comments by Skunkwaffle, BrightSilence, and Maddison.
The second log is short, and just covers the posting of RoyTheBoy's pictures, finding the dotted letters and the short message they gave, and Maddison's short visit to chat just after midnight, safely back in Nacogdoches. RoyTheBoy's pictures and further work on the letter are here http://www.maddisonatkins.com/forum/topics/maddison-in-dallas - Attachments:
