As all of you know, Forrest has been a busy writer.
None of us know why.
Some like myself feel his time on Earth is nearing an end, and others believe he is ushering out clues in order to hasten this Chase to its end.
I have 8 days off come Tuesday. I've decided I will commit serious investigative focus to all of the scrapbooks he's put out in the last two months. I'm pretty good at seeing patterns, and I believe that ..if there are some...I can find them.
At the very least, I can bring things that "seem" important to the forefront that may help the lead searcher (if there is one) finish his or her quest. Until then, we'll just patiently await another word from the man himself.

Do you really believe that Jenny? Come on. lol "I don't know." he says? Something is up, and he is just not comfortable saying. Or maybe he did say in that long winded answer and it was "veiled." Who really knows anymore. |

I wouldn’t be surprised if Forrest lives to be 102 years old. I think he’s just having fun writing. I hope he keeps churning the SB’s out. They’re great and very entertaining!

The unprecented cadence of SBs since mid-September makes it clear there has been a state change, but I think it's folly to speculate on Forrest's motivation for the frenetic pace. The treasure is still there based on all available evidence, and with the exception of lower-elevation locations (particularly southern search states), winter weather has shut down realistic chances for recovery until late Spring 2020.
For several months I've known exactly where I want to go next, but once you're $5k, $10k or more into the Chase, with many BOTG searches, you become more realistic and pragmatic about your chances, and consequently less willing to commit additional resources unless search conditions are ideal. Snow on the ground is a non-starter for me, and I'm counting on it being an effective deterrent to anyone who has the end-to-end solution.

I think the Rockies are going to get hammered with ice and snow like more than normal. We had some sleet and snow here in Oklahoma a few days ago. |

He's been pretty quiet before this for awhile. I'm guessing the firehouse of scrapbooks have been in planning during the lull. Perhaps he was considering another book and decided against it.

IMHO, Forrest just wanted every one to know that although he wanted the Emails to count down, he wanted us to know he is still involved, and will keep in touch with his scrapbooks now that he has time to present them as he wants too. If you read the comments he even comes in there. Great to see his humor and current comments.

When I read that Forrest gave Dal the scrapbooks, and Dal was in charge of posting them as he deems appropriate, that ended the idea that Forrest was doing anything related to the chase. The guy’s been writing his entire adult life. I don’t think the scrapbook stuff is anything other than him sharing stories. I enjoy them too.

Interesting ... dalneitzel.com/2019/11/18/scrapbook-two_hundred-thirty-six/#comment-839235Not true Joel. Dal has been posting my SBs the same day I write them, or the day after. Stand by for the Spanish bowl. f |

Well I stand corrected. Now they’re even more enjoyable.

Tom, I do recall that Dal said he had some scrapbooks forest had given him but he didn't have time to post them because he was traveling, maybe to Santa Fe I'm not sure. So I think you are somewhat right at least for some of the earlier scrapbooks of this batch. Regardless, I am very impressed at forest high productivity. It is really something amazing to me. |

Dal was at Forrest's in October and f gave him a big batch then which Dal put out close to daily once he was back home. Somewhere in the mid-to-upper 220s Dal had depleted his supply, but then Forrest just went into overdrive. |
