I am curious as to what approaches hunters has used to get their solves. For me, I have used literal meanings of each line, traditions/lore of Native Americans, writing techniques used by other authors, many different word ciphers, hiking terms, stars (famous people in history and radio) and so on and on. They all, to a degree, have given me solves that most likely are not correct. For now, my favorite is using literal interpretations and famous quotes combined.
What have you guys and gals used as your way to start (begin it) your solves?

I've tried to marry the poem to a map....or geographic locations.... by trying to think how 'Forrest would imagine' his lines of the poem would do so....

I believe each clue is a description the either physically describes locations in some way, or the description names locations. Imagination is key, no cyphers, codes or special knowledge. Just the poem and a good map.

Just the poem and a good map. AND TTOTC. I feel you HAVE a legend for the map within the covers of that book. Very important literature. |

That's a fitting description for how TTOTC fits with the poem  While it is possible for someone to determine the meanings of symbols on a map by considering what landmarks use what symbols, it's much faster and easier to know what the symbols mean with a legend. So Fenn has a hidden legend inside TTOTC for the clues in the poem |
