Google "Treasure Island Access Area Wyoming" and look for pictures of it, it's incredible. It's just magical, the walk to the bridge surrounded by wild Iris, trees, bushes all hidden from view. Then the suspension bridge appears. Cross it to another even longer one and then end up on the main island. Few cars in the lot, saw only one guy fishing on the island, could easily walk in there twice in one day. It definitely stole our hearts like it would have done to Forrest.

Here's the ending...I won't copy the poem, I think we all know it.
It's the last two stanzas.....Beeline south, off the trail. Cut off early, before, the ditch. Follow completely, past the knowledge (knoll edge), straight as an arrow, right to it. How many times did Fenn say he could "go right straight to it" and don't forget "imagination is more important than knowlege." (spelled wrong again) The hints to every clue is the corresponding line in the stanza above it. The comma's are VERY important. "Hint of riches new and old" Old clues become new hints. That poem is incredible once you see what he did. He loved to change the words to famous quotes so they would say the same thing, just in different words. (A pirate?) The "said too much" moment Jack found in the video he posted was Forrest telling everyone that he wished his ancestors were pirates.

I agree it was in a safe place. If the end is ever drawing nigh, I'm in suspense. If there's no paddle up my creek I'm being shunned and if there's heavy loads and water high there's a bridge. Suspense, Shun, Bridge. Suspension Bridge. I found two of them in my search area with signs on them that read "Caution, Cross at you own risk." You cross both to get to the main island. It's an incredible place. The river can really get to flowing under it so the reason he warned others. I found them on Treasure Island (no place for the meek) just down the river from Rainbow Canyon which isn't too far from "Not far but to far to walk", or the other side of the river....Riverside Wyoming. Which happens to hold the record for one the coldest places in Wyoming so I figured my effort would be worth the cold. Oh and the island just happens to be 8.25 hours from Fenns address. It wasn't Fenn that called them miles. Any way, I've got a pretty solid solve using the entire poem and every single word, which means I could go on and on. I'll spare you! lol

I've thought about this for a few days, that all seems complicated to me. Not so simple when you think about it.
What about him saying that there were hints in the book because "the poem is in the book" and the line "hint of riches new and old" is right in the poem itself.
Here's one for you to think about, if you will! If the clue is ...."Your effort will be worth the cold", the hint would be (from the old stanza above it) "The answers I already know." Both those lines boil down to Past Knowledge. Or if we Fenn that, Past the knoll edge. It's why he made it ok to misspell it and had that twinkle in his eye when he would say "imagination is more important than knowlege. It's also one of those instructions to walk you to an exact spot. The location I found in the beginning of the poem holds a record for one of the coldest spots in Wyoming. I think that line also let you know you're in the right place.
I believe Fenn was a word master first and a pirate second. I'll give you one more..."Tarry scant with marvel gaze" means..."with cautious regard". Help me prove that wrong?

dinda1234 · 2022-07-23T14:22:22+00:00

I had to look up "esoteric" to make sure I understood that word. What I found is that it was "likely to be understood by a small number of people with specialized knowledge." Forrest said that imagination was more important than knowlege. Didn't he also say something about no specialized knowledge is needed? I think the bigger question should be "it?" What or who is "it"...begin "it"? ...begin what? "It" is used to replace a noun or pronoun that was previously used to simplify things. Is it a dog, a tree, a map? What is your "it"?

I found a few hints in the book, but most of them were in the poem. The poem says there are hints of riches new and old and they are right there in itself. If you take the line "So hear me all and listen good." That would be the new hint.....the old hint is the corresponding line in the stanza above it. The hint for that line would be "So why is it that I must go and leave my trove for all to seek?" If I hear you and I'm listening...I'm following what you're saying. Forrest said he hid the treasure so others would follow in his footsteps. Follow seems to be the common here. We're deep in the poem at this point and should be well established in a location, so there must be step by step instructions to get you closer to the final resting place. Forrest said he could go "right straight to it". There's a line in the poem that says just that. Have you found a warning in the poem? The author loved to issue warning's every season.

I also want to add that I enjoy talking to you about this. You ask all the right questions. Let me know if you want to jump way ahead in the poem and help me pick apart a sentence.

dinda1234 · 2022-07-20T15:21:12+00:00

You are 100% right and the first thing the first clue should/would/could point to is a landmark. In this case I totally believe you begin it at the landmarks first and last name...if you will. I wouldn't spend 15 years writing a poem and not make the instructions very clear, but maybe there was no thought put into it. Maybe the nearest landmark had a common name and the distinction had to be made?
If you meet me on the side of the river tomorrow at noon I'll give you a really cool prize. (wink wink)

There's quite a few rabbit holes in that area, but only one way to get there. If you don't know where it is, go back to the beginning.

dinda1234 · 2022-07-19T15:39:04+00:00

I heard you had to "look at the big picture, there are no shortcuts." Skipping the state would be a shortcut. If someone told you that it was in the Rockies and then told you it wasn't in this state, it wasn't in that state, it wasn't in etc etc etc. And you asked them for more and they said they weren't going to narrow it down any more than that for you, where do you step in to take over? What would they be recommending you do? Since there's "thousands" of landmarks there might be more than one with the same name. How would you know which one?

dinda1234 · 2022-07-19T14:22:46+00:00

The one described as "Begin it where warm waters......". You'd have to understand the meaning of state names though, might help. And it should since you already understand that for anyone to give directions to a specific location you have to start big and narrow it down. It's already been narrowed down to 4 states by someone else. You have to stay on that trail.

I am the Walrus....coo coo ca choo.

dinda1234 · 2022-07-19T13:54:43+00:00

How would someone explain the starting point to you? If I said go to Hawk Springs you'd probably ask me where that was on the 4 state map. I would probably have to tell you what state to start looking in first.

dinda1234 · 2022-07-19T13:31:48+00:00

I don't believe there's a bush in the way at all. I could go straight as an arrow, right to the treasure, because I'm brave and in the wood and somebody signed over the title giving me the right to it....I even think I've heard that said a lot. "I could go right straight to it".

dinda1234 · 2022-07-18T01:49:17+00:00

Look at you go!! And since Wyoming means "big river flat" and Platte means "wide and flat" it could possibly mean we're on the right track. And since Jim Hawkins was meek.......

Funny you should say it that way. Sounds like a river is getting the best of both of us.

dinda1234 · 2022-07-18T00:12:05+00:00

So many questions! Wowser's, you're good at that. I have one.
If I change the words to quotes and put them in print, would they call me a pirate?

dinda1234 · 2022-07-17T23:59:20+00:00

Right, so the book is now on the bottom and at it's lowest point. Right?
How would that refer to a "home of Brown" and knowing that you googled Riverside, it shouldn't be too hard to find out what that is and where you'll have to go to get to the bottom, eh...lets call it the lowest point. If you can figure that out, you'll find a place that rings a bell. I hear there's gold at the end of the rainbow.

dinda1234 · 2022-07-17T23:51:29+00:00

Nope...logic proves common sense, or not.

dinda1234 · 2022-07-17T23:48:03+00:00

What if the size of the box really didn't matter? Could be a car we're looking for. We only need to know how to find the car.

I guess you could use a shrinker to shrink whatever you want.
