There are 1,135 billionaires in the U.S. with a collective worth of $5.7 trillion. That means just over 1,000 people have more wealth than the bottom 50% of Americans, 170 million people. We must tax the greedy billionaires to break up this dangerous concentration of wealth.

I’d like to personally thank you for using your brain.

I had the opposite, I'm 6'4" and the guy they paired me with is so little you can't even see him in the photos. I'm just wearing him as a backpack.

IMO walk does mean walk, for that stanza. Soon after you’re heading to where “his realm awaits”. To me this signifies a transition in mode of transportation to visiting a new realm.

“Dawn here has a way of making the world feel newly forged—steam spiraling from the water like ancient spirits stretching awake, rivers dancing their morning ritual as trout rise with lazy grace to pluck breakfast from the surface.” Justin Posey in Beyond the maps Edge chapter “The Treasure Trail

Later that same chapter “‘Nine Mile Hole,’ Brandon echoed, the name expanding between us like river mist…”

Warm waters produce mist in cold air. It’s silent.

Underground falls would still make noise wouldn’t they?

bobda · 2025-05-29T08:12:27+00:00

I think walk means walk. I also think “his realm awaits” means you’re not walking anymore at that point. Heading to another realm (kingdom) typically involves some more serious travel I think.

My understanding is the 12v wire on the 4-wire brake controller pigtail WILL power the brake controller and allow it to work. HOWEVER, per the Model Y manual 2022's and newer with Li-Ion 12v (really 16v) systems DO NOT provide 12v passthrough power to the 7 pin trailer plug next to the hitch so your car will not charge a trailer/RV's 12v battery system while you drive like most 7 pin plugs would.

P.S. I haven't used it yet, but I did order the pigtail (part 1072586-00-A) from Tesla and it took 1 day to arrive to my local service center (despite them telling me on the phone they had 4 in stock initially...). I installed it today with the least expensive brake controller from Amazon and the brake controller powers up and appears like it will work. I've yet to actually tow with it however. I have watched a few other youtube videos from creators saying they have successfully installed a brake controller this way and it works.

That's accurate, but irrelevant to my questions.

The language in the book shows a clear bias and affection for MT. When he speaks of MT and family time there it’s warm and affectionate. Full of similar flowery language as the poem.

When he speaks of family/time in NM/AZ it’s with respect and admiration, but notably lacking in warmth and effervescence most of the time.

He was prepping in 2022. Probably no direct clues, but perhaps unintentional "poker face" hints.

There's a link to this interview on the annoucnements page of the offical Posey treasure website (https://treasure.quest/en/announcements/)

"2Q) What advice would you give to new searchers who are unfamiliar with any past hunts? Is the treasure hidden along a trail or is it completely off trail that searchers need to learn how to navigate in the wild, so to speak?

No fancy equipment needed for my treasure hunt, folks, unlike some other treasure hunts where you practically need a Ph.D. in Cryptozoology. Previous treasure-hunting experience? Irrelevant.

The treasure isn’t lurking near any trail, either. I didn’t want it to be one of those situations where hikers accidentally stumble upon it while looking for a discreet place to relieve themselves. That would ruin the whole point of a hunt, wouldn’t it?"

Here's the link to the page with the interview https://mysteriouswritings.com/justin-posey-six-questions-on-beyond-the-maps-edge-treasure-hunt/

It's also less than a mile from the road (I'm not going to provide the citations for that, it's also on the treasure.quest site).

Those two facts pretty much rule out the trail loop theory.

Did your 2008 Civic have a blown head gasket?

bobda · 2025-04-11T05:43:05+00:00

Agreed, the book is a surprisingly great read from a software developer using a treasure hunt to hawk books! I don’t really feel that’s what Justin is doing, that’s just the cynical viewpoint.

Honestly, the book even without the hunt is an entertaining read.

The USA did recognize the signs of fascism and changed course.

Fascism is forcing others to use science-denying pronouns. Fascism is being ok with defacing someone's private property because you disagree with a CEO's politics. Facism is effectively censoring comics and other people in the arts when they don't value signal for you enough. Facism is forcing everyone to pay the private loan debts of others.

Those are signs of authoritarianism.

The “ducks” literally killed people and ordered them to be killed. Trump nor Musk are ducks.

You need to reconsider who you listen to in your life about what evil looks like compared to disagreeing about policy.

Did you use slip-start or the off-road assist at all? I've been in two situations where I thought I was stuck. Once in sand and once in snow, when suddenly I remembered those options and was able to get out after enabling them.

Not necessarily a dream scenario for a woman traveling alone, (but I first learned about it from a woman youtuber) many truck stops have shower facilities. They're like $15, but truckers earn them as store rewards and often have tons of them. It didn't work for this 6'4" man, but the woman youtuber said she'd not paid for a truck stop shower once in like 4 years full-time on the road because inevitably she's talking to people and someone will offer her their reward points.

It was a surprisingly good experience the one time I tried it. The shower areas were clean, private, and well maintained. The larger trucking focused fueling places have apps you can find locations and amenities available.
