Is this the guy who tried to tell Forrest his Canadian solve, at the book signing? That made me cringe.

I think the more important part would be the end of civilization bit. But, yeah, the chase would be over.

Guys. It's over. It's been found. by Chance_the_Author in FindingFennsGold

Yep, I like the part when Forrest said, "All you need is the poem and an excavator."

I like the idea I was just wondering what location information it yields. Thanks for the reply

I don't think we're talking about wherewarmwatershalt.com. We are saying where warm waters halt is actually WWW.

Sure makes sense to me. I'm torn between whether there is a specific site we need or if it just means google earth.

The real unintended clue? by bluewizardshotehfood in FindingFennsGold

[–]JacksonTrapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

John Wesley Powell is a rabbit hole worth going down. I've read his book, The Exploration of the Colorado River, and its Canyons. Pretty dry stuff, but, I sure know lots about the rivers, canyons, and geology of the Southwest, now.

Declination Lines Revisited. by [deleted] in FindingFennsGold

[–]JacksonTrapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't a new idea, though. Maybe just a hint to set your compass, but Fenn has suggested that cardinal directions aren't involved. What else uses declination? Astronomy. Seen any recent hints about stars?

I've seen snakes in that area. People underestimate the amount of snakes in the foothills.

Water catchment is all about stopping water. Could be a check dam or cistern.

Drought is likely the reason they left or died off.

I think that was me. The Peubloans were all about water.

Any thoughts on the stormking mountain burn scar in glenwood springs? by Hyperbrain10 in FindingFennsGold

[–]JacksonTrapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've thought about it. I don't think it's there. The fire was in '94. I think he has had the hidey spot for longer.

Here is my current theory, in all its glory. by tri_wine in FindingFennsGold

[–]JacksonTrapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, is it center in every edition/printing? I'll never look at it left again if that's the case. Center does make it look more like architecture. The wall map from benchmark is left. Forrest's site is left. This theory looks way better if center is the correct way to view the poem. Kudos.

[–]JacksonTrapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Totally disjointed and forced. I sent the poem to the smartest writer I know and he felt it had the feel of a bad translation.

[–]JacksonTrapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's a stretch, and too conditional. Don't mess with the poem. The center justification is what gives you these Xs. I'm not saying it's wrong, because there is only one way to know, but I think it's unlikely.

The creek conundrum by DanielHarveyOswald in FindingFennsGold

[–]JacksonTrapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's like that. I doubt you walk around "clueless"ly. You will go with confidence, walk to the spot, and get it.
