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.” Tom: I wouldn't be so sure home of Brown is the 3rd clue. In fact, I wouldn't be so sure it's a clue at all.

. That seems likely, Dave. Forrest does seem to be very careful at times about how he phrases things, and the meaning of words.
Scrambling ... “prompts me to paws”. Or, use pa, for example. First letter of each sentence, eg, (I)SWEAT
He’s going to stay quiet on the subject, or did he? Can did lie
Not far, but too far to walk. So we are left with quibbling choice of meaning, or that there is a difference between the imaginary route and the actual route that he took when he had the treasurer, which could include a means other than traveling by foot
by some. Definitions of which word ? ..... Prevaricating or walk?

If you are going to hike up a creek, there is a 99.9% chance your boots are going to get wet.

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 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 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 Hi Sean. So nice to see you. In your video you took a little bit of poetic license so to speak and added some things that Forrest didn’t say. He said don’t go anywhere is 79 or 80-year-old man wouldn’t go. He said nothing about what he would do. He said it’s 79 or 80-year-old man. I believe that adds some limitations. I believe a water crossing is unrealistic for someone with that level of “maturity” to have a heavy backpack and cross water.

Forrest mentioned that if we knew this meaning we could walk straight to the treasure..... sounds at least important. What makes you question it as a clue? Just how you are numbering others? Do you feel it is a repeat of a previous clue, like WWWH? Care to share?

Hi Jenny: I don't think "home of Brown" is a *complete* clue. It's the "Put in below" part that's most important, in my opinion. "Forrest mentioned that if we knew this meaning we could walk straight to the treasure....." He wasn't being serious, any more than he was in this very similar exchange with Richard Eeds in 2015: Eeds: "What kind of shoes? What kind of footprints did you leave? What kind of boots did you have on?" FF: "Well if I told you that, you'd go out and find it." Link: santafe.com/podcasts/forrest-fenn-treasurer-hider-author-gallery-owner-and-santa-fe-legendClearly knowing what type of footwear Forrest had on isn't going to tell you where the treasure lies. Knowing the correct home of Brown certainly greatly constrains the problem, but that alone won't tell you the answer to either the third or the fourth clues.

I get you now...yes, I agree, hoB on its own is not complete....

Since it seems we do need to drive somewhere, and many searchers feel PIBTHOB is where we might park.... what clues or hints would Forrest feel he'd be giving away if he answered the following question ( from the Australia Interview)Q: Is a four-wheel drive vehicle required to reach the starting location?
A) Is a four-wheel drive needed to get to the location. Well, I don't need a four-wheel drive to get out of my garage, but I really don't want to answer a question like that because it gives too many hints or clues.

Especially when he already answered a similar question:http://mysteriouswritings.com/featured-question-and-weekly-words-from-forrest-hiding-the-treasure/
Dear Forrest, may I ask what type of car you used to go into the mountains to hide the Treasure Chest. ~ Bill
Yes Bill, it was a sedan. f

Maybe the home of Brown is what is "put in below".

A) Is a four-wheel drive needed to get to the location. Well, I don't need a four-wheel drive to get out of my garage, but I really don't want to answer a question like that because it gives too many hints or clues.It would depend on Forrest's definition. If 4wd was required based on a government map definition, it would limit the search area quite a bit. Most roads labeled 4wd on government maps range from 4wd required to 4wd, high clearance, and substantial off road experience required. There's a whole bunch of other gravel or graded roads where 4wd is not required 95% of the time under good conditions, but everyone knows its just better to have 4wd just in case. It's very subjective, though. Most of the lesser traveled gravel or graded roads in the search area are in this category. Given his concerns on safety, I think he would be forced to answer "yes" if it was one of these roads. Given forrest's "isolated" comments, I get the sense it's one of these roads you have to take.

Forrest drove a sedan. Don't overthink it. Sedans and 4wds are not mutually exclusive, although I doubt Forrest went blasting into the Rockies in an Imprezza.
