Here is a thread for anyone to post thoughts about where 'no place for the meek' could be, and why. Please try and limit discussions to only 'place of the meek' possibilities' Thanks

It is known there was a trapper Joe Meek who traveled throughout the Madison River Valley in the early 1800's. During his journey it is believed he met up with Blackfeet Indians, possibly at a location known as the Devil's Slide. He escaped and is later to known to have shared: "The whole country beyond was smoking with the vapor from boiling springs, and burning with gasses issuing from small craters, each of which was emitting a sharp whistling sound."This area, Yellowstone and surrounds, including the Devil's Slide, could be considered 'no place for the Meek' (Joe Meek, that is).  |

I always took the line in the poem to mean. No Place For The Biddies. Or related somehow. Maybe the Biddies don't go into the Mountains or even go camping outdoors. The primary meaning of "biddy" is "chicken," and it first appeared in the early 17th century. "old woman," 1785; meaning "Irish maid-servant" (1861) is American English; both from Biddy, pet form of common Irish proper name Bridget. a newly hatched chick. The old biddy said he couldn't cross the road alone. Why did the chicken cross the road ? To get to the other side. Boundaries ? ", Arie Beatrice Simpson, in Ft. Worth. In those days, the Comanches would sometimes run through the family’s barnyard trying to catch chickens. She’d stay inside the house with her nose pressed against the window and watch. The Indians really had fun, sometimes running into each other in the chase and falling down laughing. The hens were kept busy flying and cackling and flopping around, losing feathers while trying to get away. It was so funny, but probably not for the poor chickens." -TTOTC FYI: www.literarydevices.com/red-herring/ |

Biddy, chicken.
I did not know this.
And remember Skippy and ff plucking the feathers pg. 37 ttotc.
Plucking feathers versus hens kept busy loosing feathers? Flying hens losing their wings? Flying Fenn kept busy with missions and getting shot down, losing his wings - no place for the meek - dangerous air - not fun for the hens? And we are all Indians in the chase.
The biddies lived in a brick house, they are not in the wood, wood house. And ff could cross the "dumb" street anytime and it was "stupid" of them to say he couldn't.
Just thinking.

So are we in the barnyard (yard) and must measure in yards?

Some thoughts. Newly "hatched" chicks can refer to the fly fishing "hatch" area. Breaking out of their eggs. Tons of bugs can be no place for the meek.
Another idea. -That builds off of Brown is the word meek. No place for the meek/biddies. Meek is timid but however what if Isa Brown Chickens relates to Isa Lake? Hiram is a word related to Norman Rockwell (the sketches in TTOTC sketches) and mentioned with Isa Lake. Other related words thumb, pass (gone), etc... from research sources. And the connection of the unusual drainage system of the rivers and Isa Lake.

Thanks for posting the slide rock idea. Very fitting hint for meek...IMO. Fenns ability to take a historical story and tie it into his chase and have several possible locations makes my head spin....this relocates my solve by 8.25 miles....maybe🤔

Here is a thread for anyone to post thoughts about where 'no place for the meek' could be, and why. Please try and limit discussions to only 'place of the meek' possibilities' Thanks No place for the meek. I think it is a park sign warning us in some way. This is where the searcher ends up at going down in to the canyon. This is where I think the searcher gets within 200ft mark . Searchers are reading the sign and Turing around and leaving the way they took in. |

Searchers are reading the sign and Turing around and leaving the way they took in. Now this is possible only if you come to a sign when you take the canyon down. This would be "from there." This gives you a land mark now the end is close how close. Well your next clue to find is your creek. You are steal walking down the canyon because you do not know where the creek is this is the quote ff said what "If." You was looking to far a head and miss what was beside you could the creek be that small yes. Did the first searcher miss the creek I believe he or she might have. But the sign could also turn them around. |

Some searchers feel you drive to WWWH, and continue driving until you 'put in below the home of Brown' (park your car 'below the home of Brown')
The next line is 'From there it's no place for the meek', suggesting that now you get out of your car and enter the 'wood' on foot. It's a very simple interpretation, and doesn't necessarily offer confirmation of any geographical location, just confirmation you now move to the search area via foot, instead of car, and must be 'brave'. It's not to be done by the 'meek'.
Here is the poem to the line 'from there it's no place for the meek'.....
As I have gone alone in there
And with my treasures bold,
I can keep my secret where,
And hint of riches new and old.
Begin it where warm waters halt
And take it in the canyon down,
Not far, but too far to walk.
Put in below the home of Brown.
From there it’s no place for the meek,
With that position of thought it is assumed then that the following lines of the poem help confirm this location:
The end is ever drawing nigh;
There’ll be no paddle up your creek,
Just heavy loads and water high.

Just heavy loads and water high.We shall not cease from our exploration and at the end of all our exploring will be to arrive Where we started. And know it for the first time. If you are driving from wwwh to put in below the hob. Then why would you get in your car and drive back to begin it wwwh starts,don't make any sense. Ok know let try it in walking.Will be to arrive where we started this is where you park your car. ff had to arrive back from where he had end up back where he has started from This make more sense for the quote in walking all 9 clues out. After my exploration and exploring for the TC I have to take the TC and go in piece or no find. |

Is this how your getting your wwwh starting point and your too far to walk this is one way to narrow down your wwwh. How do I nail down wwwh we know we put in below the hob so do we start going back up the canyon at lest 10 miles because that too far to walk and to see if we end back up to a wwwh at the 10 miles then we might be able to identity what wwwh is. Then we might be able to say we might be on to something what if brings you back to a pond or lake to the exact 10 miles. |

But what "if." You start off from the hob. Now will I come to a border some where down below no fences to cross just a sign to show you your at a border in leaving the hob don't start below the hob start in the hob and then start walking out of the hob by putting in below. Many people been with in 500ft it could be a road or a trail |
