Does anyone else see the profile of Alfred Hitchcock on Forrest's poem/map in TFTW? The facial profile I see is on the left side of Montana. Hitchcock was the master of mystery and suspense. Can anyone draw any connections to anything Hitchcock related?

window...reminds me of a quote from TFTW "Those ruts are long gone, but the trail is still visible and passes less than 50 feet from my library window." And of course the word rut came up recently.

There is a connection with a character and Forrest, but the character is one that if I told you who it was you would know where the TC is. I am keeping that nugget to myself until I get BOTG in May. Like I said, it's not what Forrest say's it what he say's without saying it. Everything ties in together at my new spot. Even Forrest will not guess I may have solved the puzzle. Big surprise's coming in May IMHO.

Its a no for me since it is the outline of the state of Montana. Pretty good thought though.

If it does represent a profile - it appears to be speaking. #13....

Its a no for me since it is the outline of the state of Montana. Pretty good thought though. Shouldn't we be letting the hints/clues lead us to the state, not the other way around? Interesting to see how so many people are only perceptive to information that fits their solution. Wrong way to go about it IMO. I still have no state preference and won't until I know where the chest is just saying. Another thought I have on Hitchcock...I'm not saying we need to be educated on every one of his movies or his life. I think any research Forrest expects us to do is bare minimum for example Google someone's name and basic facts. Using Hitchcock as an example, the profile in the top left corner may be pointing us to the movie North by Northwest, or simply telling us the treasure is in the North/Northwest corner of our search states. Another Hitchcock example might be with the movie The 39 Steps. OUAW showcases 39 stories from Forrest's life so maybe the number 39 is important or the 39th story. I try not to dig too deep and stay only once or twice removed from an idea.

Rut has showed before, too. Remember the scrapbook that he dragged a piece of wood making a rut and it ended up draining the whole lake?

I do not have a state picked out yet, so your confirmation bias comment would be incorrect. You asked if anyone found clues that led to Hitchcock and as of now I do not. I am marrying the poem and the book to the map (tc location) as f has instructed. So I do not think I am going the wrong way about. In fact it would appear that Hitchcock is way outside of the box. However, I do like the post and the thought as I have originally said. I do not post or reply much, but I am here on the site often and always appreciate your input. to the

I thought you meant it was the outline of Montana and so it wasn't a possibility for your solve. You're saying it is literally the actual outline of Montana, which I did not know. That puts my Alfred Hitchcock theory to rest. No wonder I can't solve the poem, it's so hard to know when to take things literally and when not to. Actually, had there been a or a in your post my interpretation of your comment might've been correct, so maybe punctuation does matter! Edit: those smiley faces were supposed to be done with punctuation marks like colons and parentheses but it changes when comment posts...

It might mean that the treasure ISN'T in the four common search states. Perhaps this is just a two dimensional version of a fouredge book.

Certainly an imaginative thought. When I looked at that picture, my imagination took me to Bob Hope 😀. Hope chest, anyone?
