How will a searcher know they have solved WWWH? While it might be true they won't know for absolute sure until they have the Treasure Chest, as Forrest stated, are there items in the poem which can help confirm we are on at least the right track? (or at least help think we are) .
For instance......the last stanza of the poem is: . So hear me all and listen good, Your effort will be worth the cold. If you are brave and in the wood I give you title to the gold.
.
Do the lines: Your effort will be worth the cold. If you are brave and in the wood . actually refer back up to stanza two and help identify WWWH? This cold could be relating to WWWH.
. In the second Six Questions with Forrest,(http://mysteriouswritings.com/six-questions-more-with-forrest-fenn/) he wrote:
He was so busy talking he didn’t hear what I was saying.
And right before those two lines in the poem we are told to 'hear me all and listen good'...... as if Forrest is giving another 'hint/clue' to finding his chest and maybe what WWWH is.....
what do you think?

One of the meanings I've always liked for, 'your effort will be worth the cold' was to suggest 'your effort will be worth the touch of the bronze treasure chest' because in TTOTC Forrest mentions how bronze is 'cold' to the touch.
If that is the meaning, is that all there is with this line? Or did Forrest impose multiple meanings to his lines of the poem?

The blaze, water high, look quickly down, your quest to cease, canyon down, no paddle up your creek, can together confirm your wwwh is correct. Put in below the home, just means a river crossong at no paddle up your creek

Effort worth the cold refers to crossing the river. No matter the water temp or air temp, at some point getting in or out of the water, at one point or another one will feel cold due to temp differnce

There are hidden clues in the poem that are in plain sight but not obvious. For example, there are 24 lines in the poem.

Is it just a matter of the whole poem working together-- for a location -- and not a specific hint in the poem, which confirms or identifies the correct WWWH? A searcher will only know they have the correct WWWH, after all clues are followed/found and when the Chest is in hand-- like Forrest mentioned.
This seems to be what most are suggesting......

Forrest has said "Here’s a lady who may find the treasure because she has done the math and knows exactly where it is. F
Forrest hid a math problem in the poem, the TTOTC and a scrapbook. I found them all and was able to solve the math problem to reach a number he has always talked about.

If you find the blaze it will confirm all other clues in the poem

I agree with your line of thinking, Jenny. I think the poem is set up in such a way, that you can't truly know the answer to WWWH until you reach the end of the solve, and then you won't be able to confirm your theory until the chest is located. This may have a person checking more than one location, and why theoretically it can be armchair solved, but botg are probably going to be necessary to find it.

I think WWWH can absolutely be determined with 99.99% confidence without knowing where the chest is hidden. Yet tens of thousands of searchers apparently think that's sufficient to commit to BOTG.

Jenny, The whole: “your effort will be worth the cold” I interpret that as there is something that we must do that our effort in doing so will be worth the cold, and what may be the only thing in the Rocky Mountains that would be “cold” year round but water.
