Put in below the home of brown means put your feet in the water at the rivers edge. Below the home of brown trout, is the river bottom. If your feet are on the river bottom, they are put in the water below the home of brown trout. It's really quite simple. No place for the meek, simply means you need to brave enough to cross the river, get to the other side and walk along the no paddle up your creek to reach the blaze.

One line of my thinking is Brown refers to Mustard Brown...the color.

What is the home of brown trout?
What is below the home of brown trout?
Answer to 1. Water
Answer to 2. River bottom
If your feet are on the river bottom, they are below the HOB.
From there no place for the meek.
This means cross the river.

You may already know this, but in case you don't, there have been searchers who have died messing around with a "river". Perhaps you could change that word to "creek"; depending on which one, a "creek" may not be as dangerous as a "river".

The person who discoverd the body of water put the river moniker to it. Believe me I wish it was a Brook.

August or September it is safe enough, even for kids, which is why I have to make a second trip this year. The river was too high last year on June 28th. Fenn has decades of experience crossing creeks, rivers, streams, Brooks, etc. Even at 80 wouldn't have been tough for Fenn.

One of the "rivers" was the Rio Grande. The other "river" was the Arkansas. Both waterways are understood by the public generally to be >>> rivers. And all "rivers" in the Rocky's are potentially dangerous. Whatever waterway you attempt to cross, and regardless of how it is labeled, just be safe.

What is the home of brown trout? What is below the home of brown trout? Answer to 1. Water Answer to 2. River bottom If your feet are on the river bottom, they are below the HOB. From there no place for the meek. This means cross the river. REMEMBER--- this is just an interpretation and NOT confirmed.... Please don't be so set in your thoughts that you disregard Forrest's continued statements to be safe. While the interpretation makes sense, that doesn't mean it is a correct interpretation for the poem and to find the chest. There are many interpretations, and locations, that have been thought and used, but are INCORRECT. With the dangers involved with this one, it seems most unlikely. I can't imagine Forrest promoting 'families' going out to look for a treasure which requires the crossing of a dangerous waters (under normal conditions-- I realize there are some waters which are dangerous this season, but aren't normally)... I would appreciate you stop promoting it on this forum.....

Sure ok. Meek and brave are in the poem as a warning, to at least use common sense.
brave
/brāv/
adjective
1.
ready to face and endure danger or pain; showing courage.
"a brave soldier"
synonyms: courageous, plucky, fearless, valiant, valorous, intrepid, heroic, lionhearted, manful, macho, bold, daring, daredevil, adventurous, audacious, death-or-glory; More
It's the rocky mountains, not Disneyland, there is danger everywhere. She is right the poem has nothing to do with waters, hot, warm or cold. I just gave you a clue right there about temperatures. If a river flow is not associated with dams, there is no reason why you can't walk across a river at the end of summer. I'm not talking about the Amazon, Nile or Mississippi here. Can anybody tell me what the differences are between, river, stream, creek, brook, brooklet, rivulet, burn, canal, arroyo, bayou, beck, bourn, channel, distributary, draw, lick, rill, run, streamlet, tributary, wadi, wash.
River – a natural waterway usually formed by water derived from either precipitation or glacial meltwater, and flows from higher ground to lower ground.

If your river is only crossable for a small part of the year, that forms quite a neat obstacle to getting the treasure, outweighed in my opinion that it would severely limit Forrest's ability to reach the treasure himself in his planned final act.
He would have to decide if it was likely he would survive up to another year, for the river water to subside. Added to the risk of overeager searchers trying to cross in snowmelt season and possibly with their kids makes thus quite unlikely in my opinion.
Stay safe. D.

. The MOTHER MOTHER possibility comes right after the sentence containing HOME and in the MEEK sentence.
Inferesting, the ninth sentence (MOTHER MOTHER) is part of a string containing FEN DAD, the 13th (stuck at 13) letters of sentences 8 - 12.
HOME and MEEK are plaintext, MOTHER, SON, and FEN DAD are hidden.
