Hirsch and crew at the Oregon Vortex.
Mystery Tour 2013 was a 4-day road trip led by Alex Hirsch and the Gravity Falls crew to find "the weirdest tourist traps in Oregon and Northern California."[1]
Details
The route of the Mystery Tour 2013.
Hirsch and company left behind several drawings of Bill Cipher in various spots, such as telephone poles, signs and trash cans, and released photos of them over Twitter for fans to find. The fans who took a picture of themselves in the same spots received Mystery Prizes.[2]
As of April 16th, 2016, all of the drawings have been found. They are/were located somewhere along the road on the left.[3]
Among the places visited include the House of Mystery at the Orgeon Vortex, a Masonic Temple,[4] Trees of Mystery's Paul Bunyan statue which is located along Route 101, the World Famous Grandfather Tree, and One Log House.

Trivia
- Another photo of the gang at the Oregon Vortex was photographed with a polaroid camera. However, the picture was left at the Oregon Vortex for undisclosed reasons, most likely because the picture was not high quality.[21]
- Bill Cipher 3, 6, 7 and 9 were not found in 2013. They were located in March and April of 2016 respectivly.
- The group which found Bill 6 and 7 cataloged the trip on a Tumblr blog called thehuntforbillcipher-blog. [22]
- The thehuntforbillcipher team also learned that Alex and the crew had left a Dipper hat at Confusion Hill while on the trip.[23]
- As of 2021, Bill 3 is no longer visible as the area it was located in has been renovated since.[24] Bill number 9 is also likely no longer around now given the pole it was located on was repainted in 2020. [25]
- The fates of Bill 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 as of 2021 remains unknown, but given the Bills found in 2016 were in poor condition or gone, it is likely many of them are no longer around. [26]
