I'm not sure what put this thought into my head while I was making breakfast this morning but, What if the answer to the first clue is simply "deep"? Fenn has said something along the lines of Water doesn't halt, it's not in it's nature. So where does water appear to stop moving? Well, a river appears to stop flowing where it's very deep. The current is under the still surface. (Hence the saying "Still waters run deep") So now to try to connect it with what Fenn has also said about missing ingredients. Do we connect it with "Begin 'it'" or do we connect it with canyon down? Until 1981, some maps had Box Canyon labeled as Deep Canyon... geonames.usgs.gov/apex/f?p=138:3:1053422744572::NO:3:P3_FID,P3_TITLE:178884,Box%20Canyon

Yep, and that's where that thought process started. You start with comfortable feelings and emotions. When your feelings stop being comfortable, it's usually because of negative emotions (anger or sadness) Sadness fits with the definition of canyon. However, I think I'm rounding back to my original thought on warm waters halt. I scanned my TTOTC book, then used adobe acrobat to OCR it, so I'm able to search my pdf for specific words and phrases. I did that with comfort and only 3 results came up. The first is where he kept his promise to the waterfall. Before he found the grave marker, he was sitting at the top of the waterfall throwing rocks down to the bottom and he said he was uncomfortable with the whole situation (uncomfortable would definately be where comfort halts) The 2nd was when he mentioned Millay's poem that's about living on the edge (Safe upon the solid rock the ugly houses stand...) He said that poem tells his story best and that's where he's most comfortable. The final mention of the word was after he was diagnosed with cancer, he said it was his wife and 2 daughter's warm comfort that helped him through his depression. I have the same capability to search the book. I have done the same and the one that stands out is Millay's life and poetry. "He said that poem tells his story best and that's where he's most comfortable." When he says his likes to live on the edge gives him a thrill and I think saves himself from the cloud over his head. It's about the "thrill" he says. What is the opposite of thrill? Boring? Isolation? Alone? Gone alone in there? Where? Warm waters halt. Now he is uncomfortable, confused, alone in there. Loss of a friend? Leon Gaspard (German Artist) where Frank Waters and Fenn reburied his body? Under the apple tree where at first the ground was frozen solid and they had to wait till the ground thawed out. 1982 article Attachment Deleted |

*edit* You need to copy the whole link and paste it in your browser, this site wants to stop the link at the , Ice Box Canyon or Refrigerator Canyon? Yes deep is good just like the flood waters are high. Deep and high can mean the same thing I think. Pot holes on Main Street come to mind. But those aren't deep but the fishing holes have pockets that are deep. |

Where warm waters halt - think of it as a campfire and the water halts the fire and makes ASH (for example)
Then use take it in the canyon... MORE (for example) and add it to ASH and you get ASHMORE
Another thought is WWWH is RIVER BANK and take it is DRIVE then add you get BANK DR. A street name with the direction.
Only my opinion and for me eliminates the endless possibilities of WWWH.

The perfect solve is when you have been wise and found the blaze in the comfort of your own home. The clues take you right straight to the chest. No need to do boots on the ground to find the blaze. Make sure you get look quickly down correct as well. Even with that, it's not there anymoreš

Typically you can come up with a spot, I mean you have to, most people think you have to ābe thereā to find the blaze. You canāt figure out what the blaze is from Google Earth, or by looking at a map. You gotta be - there - boots on the ground and look at the place to find the blaze. |

I donāt know that anybody has told me the clues in the right order. I think part of the problem is, they donāt, they donāt focus on the first clue. If you donāt know where the first clue is, you might as well stay home because youāre not going to find the treasure chest. You canāt go out looking for the blaze and expect to find the treasure chest. Thereās 10 billion blazes out there. So you have to start with the first clue and let it take you to the blaze. |

Heidini, Could you provide the source quote for where Forrest said that one needs physical presence to find the blaze? Thanks, astree Zaphod wouldāve better at it- but I will try. Forrest has never said a physical presence is required to find the blaze. There are at least two quotes that actually suggest the opposite: that the blaze can and must be determined before you leave home. |

At a baseball game, Heidini, so no access to quote library, but can give you enough to search it: how can a searcher "knowingly walk to within several steps of the treasure" without knowing what the blaze is? Mic drop. |

Mic drop. Pick it back up. Lol. Of course you have to know what the blaze is before knowingly walk within several steps of the treasure. That is just silly. My opinion counts for nothing- but I will maintain BOTG is required to find the blaze AND the treasure. I am perfectly content with others thinking otherwise. |
