This must mean to get in the water correct? To “put in” seems to refer to getting into the water. Then obviously the following clues all include water as well. So assuming to “put in” is referring to water, then THOB is above it.....so what is above a body of water? A dock, a rock, a waterfall, a bridge, a cave/reservoir of some kind....which of these makes the most sense as THOB?

. Why not rahrah? The context is water and “put in” can be used as a nautical term, so it seems a good idea to leave it open as a possibility. The consideration includes a route described by the poem versus a more direct route that forrest (and the retriever) might use. By the way, “put in” can mean going in or out, and “put in below THOB” there is an interesting chart at this link, which shows how the term used to be used more widely. www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/put-in |

You don’t get in the water because an eighty year with a heavy backpack wouldn’t do that. Hasn't Forrest said don’t do anything that an eighty year old wouldn’t do? He didn’t say don’t do anything “I” wouldn’t do...

I think you missed the point of the previous post. The possibility is that the poem might instruct us to follow an imaginary course ("at lesst in our mind") which is not necessarily the same and most direct course that forest and the searcher could take

HOB is the third clue. I couldn’t figure out how I can see tftw but the little girl couldn’t. Begin it and take it is one clue. The blaze is not the last clue. We are all missing something.
There is something in that chest.
Edit to say: “You can’t start in the middle of the poem.”

Yes I did Tyler, it was the most direct route. f And it seems as though he may have been answering the question I posed in the following video. m.youtube.com/watch?v=rSRWAYtjyE8&t=183s |

Astree, I’m reminded of the following featured Q & A: Dear Mr. Fenn, Once you hid the treasure, did you take the exact same route in reverse to return to your car?” Thank you. ~ Tyler Y. Yes I did Tyler, it was the most direct route. f That makes sense. Astree, There was a early audio interview with Richard Eeds in which Richard asked him what kinda boots Forrest was wearing when he hid the treasure, and Forrest responded with something like if I told you that you would know where to go or something like that. That, in my opinion , coincides with Forrest talking about waders and the best type when being in water when given a safety warning after losing Paris in 2017. So yes I firmly belief water in involved in the route the poem leads us or the route we must take to recover the treasure. |

Sean, I'm assuming you mean this:
EEDS: What kind of shoes? What kind of footprints did you leave? What kind of boots did you have on?
Forrest: Well if I told you that, you’d go out and find it
When my husband and I went to San Lazaro with Forrest, he asked me what type of boots I had on to go there--- he was concerned of cactus.... which makes me think of a New Mexico location as a possibility with this remark and not something only concerning water....(it's an option)

Thanks, sean and Jenny.
“Forrest, You said you made two trips from your car to hide the treasure. Besides walking, did you use any other methods of transportation to get back and forth between the car and the hide? Thanks, Edgar”
“Edgar, your wording of the question prompts me to pause and wonder if I can answer it candidly, yet correctly. Were all the evidence truly known, and I answered in the positive, you might say I was prevaricating, by some definitions of the word. And if I answered in the negative, you may claim that I was quibbling. So I will stay quiet on that subject. Thanks for the question anyway. f”

I was just reading a post on another forum about how many times Forrest mentioned being shoeless in TTOTC. I think if he had answered no boots to the question above, as in barefoot, that would've been the most revealing answer. If he answered hiking boots, doesn't help, waders, also not helpful...barefoot...hmmm pools, spas, certain churches maybe?? I don't know I'll have to think about this more.

There are a lot more definitions to "put in" than just dealing with water. For Example when you place your anti in poker you are, Putting In. |

Goldilocks, maybe you should consider what Forrest said about Santa Fe. He wanted to live somewhere, where he could wear loafers. Good chance the type of shoe he was wearing when he hid the TC. Maybe. |

Thanks for the question anyway. f” This has no doubt come up before, but this tells us something: Forrest can't, in good conscience, say he walked all the way to and from where he parked (regardless of at which clue, if any, that was). Other than meaning he hiked rather than walked, doesn't this tell us that some other method significant enough to prevent an answer is involved? Climbed, scrambled, paddled, waded, strode, slid, crouched... |
