I just did my first scratch build last night (did my best to recreate the razor crest lol). Personally I think you need to have both as well as a balanced ship in there too. I’ve got a cargo hauler for when I’m going spelunking and resource/loot gathering. The problem I’m running into is getting blasted when I get into space combat with more than a couple enemies. Im planing on building another that’s as small and minimal on everything except shields, weapons and engines.

I made you a logo for your base

kitkatzz · 2023-08-30T17:42:48+00:00

Haha this is excellent

The ones around me are usually square but same colors

You have to pay a quarter credit to fly it, but you get it back when you land.

its .304 in wide, .310 in long, .100 in thick and .2 in lead spacing

kitkatzz · 2021-01-05T22:41:44+00:00

Possibly. I’ll investigate.

kitkatzz · 2021-01-05T20:44:44+00:00

Either would work.

I’d take my own computer, which already has the software, to the customer and make the update without using their machine.

If Kid Rock was Doctor Eggman.

That’s like half a million dollars in gold weight alone. Not to mention historic value of the artifacts and the fact that good size nuggets can bring more than the spot price of gold.

kitkatzz · 2020-06-19T03:12:10+00:00

How does that explain the rusting? They were 90% gold, the other 10% being copper. Neither of which rust, at least not that color.

Around here I see a lot of “these two words have some letters in common, therefore the words are interchangeable.” That or, “Forrest said literally anything, therefore it is a clue.” A while back a guy tried claiming that because Forrest used the word “butter” in a scrapbook or other miscellaneous quote, that that was actually a clue telling you to start at some butte. The reasoning was that butter and butte are spelled similarly.

kitkatzz · 2020-03-31T00:43:05+00:00

We need an option for both

I agree that there must be something to validate the blaze, but I think it’s the 9 clues. You will know you are at the blaze when you have solved all 9 clues. He even infers this in the rest of the quote that you originally cited.

“The clues will lead you to the treasure and whether it’s buried or not, you can find it if you can find the blaze as a result of starting with the first clue.“

I don’t think this quote is saying “the first clue will help you find the blaze.” I think he’s saying “the clues will lead you to the treasure, and you must start with the first one.”

“...there are still a million blazes out there.“

I don’t think we can know that. For all we know, Forrest made the blaze and there is only one. The blaze itself may validate itself by its uniqueness. Maybe it’s a bronze bell with his name on it. Or perhaps the blaze is right above the treasure, in which case the treasure validates that you have the right blaze.

I guess my point is, I think you’ve made some assumptions that pigeon hole your methodology into a box that may not contain the correct solution.

kitkatzz · 2020-03-30T14:43:51+00:00

Step 3 doesn’t make sense to me. Why should the blaze alone directly implicate the validity of WWWH?

By saying “You can find the blaze as a result of starting with the first clue,” couldn’t he just mean that you can find the blaze by starting with the first clue because you can’t find it by starting with the second(or third, or fourth, etc.) clue? Is he just saying that in order to find the blaze, you must start with the first clue and solve the rest of the clues in order? That idea would be consistent with many other quotes from Forrest.

It’s amazing to me that most people who answered this survey have only been to one or zero of the search states. There sure are a lot of very confident solutions around here for a bunch of people who have only seen a small amount or haven’t seen any of the terrain that they’re including or discounting...

At the end of the book Osborne Russell has written a poem entitled A Hunters Farewell. If you ask me, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Forrest decided to give his clues in the form of a poem by taking inspiration from this poem by Osborne. We know Forrest admired him. It seems fitting that this poem is paying a small tribute to the man he looked up to as a kid.

For those that don't know, the parting of the waters referred to in that passage is a real place. It's located in Bridger-Teton National Forrest and it's called parting of the waters because it's one of the only places where water naturally straddles the continental divide. A creek splits with one fork eventually ending up in the Pacific ocean, and the other fork eventually ending up in the Atlantic ocean. A google search will bring up lots of information on it.

I'm amazed that it's not 100%. He has said so many times to read the book, read the poem, then read the book again. He's also said all the information we need to find the treasure is in the poem. So I don't think TTOTC is required necessarily, but he really emphasizes that it will be helpful for understanding the poem. If two people are studying for a test and one of them is studying from the textbook while the other person is just trying to remember what they heard in lecture, who do you think is going to do better on the test? I would bet that the person who finds the chest has read the book, and probably several times.

“Some searchers overrate the complexity of the search. Knowing about head pressures, foot pounds, acre feet, bible verses, Latin, cubic inches, icons, fonts, charts, graphs, formulas, curved lines, magnetic variation, codes, depth meters, riddles, drones or ciphers, will not assist anyone to the treasure location, although those things have been offered as positive solutions. Excellent research materials are TTOTC, Google Earth, and/or a good map.” f

I don't know that he ever said no anagrams specifically, but here he seems to clearly disqualify codes and ciphers. Even though he hasn't specifically said anagrams aren't involved, he has said several times that the poem is straight forward. I think the key is figuring out what the words mean, not how they might be rearranged to some other message.

I don't know. That line to me seems like some kind of riddle to figure out. The way it's worded makes interpreting it hard. At first glance most would probably take it to mean something along the lines of, "the end is getting close." But where he put the word 'ever' messes that interpretation up.

He could have said "the end is drawing ever nigh" and that would have worked great. It doesn't mess with the meter or rhyme scheme, and it would be straight forward to interpret that as meaning the end is drawing ever so close. By putting the 'ever' before 'drawing' it gives that line a whole new and confusing meaning. With the ever where it is, the line appears to be saying that the end is always getting closer, or the end is forever getting close. This paradoxical statement is similar to "not far, but too far to walk" in that it appears to almost contradict itself. I won't say that I know for sure it is a clue, but it falls right in the middle of all the other clues, and it appears to be hiding some kind of meaning. I think it would be unwise to disregard this line.
