I'm so frustrated and I am giving up for the moment. I made an unwise decision to travel to the area recently. Many roads are closed and the area is just saturated. How many times did Forrest say to keep it simple. The poem is, in fact, instructions to draw lines on a map. You have to follow the punctuation properly. Most of the instructions start with the sentence and end with the period. It's why so many people question if something is a clue or not. I've attached the Excel file I am using to show you the proof and my logic is undeniable. You have to be looking at Google Earth and google maps. If you were planning something for 15 years and you couldn't travel to the location all the time, isn't that the best way to right a poem around it? Don't you think he was also using Google to see how to develop the clues. Look at my spreadsheet and click on the links. If you don't believe me after that on how the clues match, tell me I'm crazy. Those cannot be coincidences. Forrest makes reference to comics in his clues. The hear me part of the poem is important. It alludes to the shape of the lines that look like a megaphone. Picture Lucy yelling at Charlie Brown with it. I'm sure he was. The one thing I cannot figure out is how he knows the treasure is there. Perhaps people should consider that either there is a web cam close by or he has a long battery GPS device. They make some that last for a while. Consider using a GPS scanner Where other lines intersect and where you go from there is the question. I haven't figured that out yet. I've attached a screenshot of google maps to show you the lines I created on my map. It's possible I missed some of the lines and the last one should actually complete the tip of the megaphone shape. Also, take note that he says to shut it down until spring. If you find the treasure, just give me credit. If you feel compelled enough to work the rest of this out with me, please let me know. I can't focus that much time but the progress made already should be sufficient. Hope you don't give up......just take a break if needed, and enjoy the Chase when you can.

The poem is, in fact, instructions to draw lines on a map. You have to follow the punctuation properly. bkcali22, I agree with the two sentences above. (FWIW, I don't believe the solution has anything to do with Yellowstone.) For the last three years I've been drawing lines on a map based on the coordinates and other information the poem provides. For a time I was interpreting the shapes drawn as relevant (a number, a bell, a golf flag, part of a vehicle etc.). However, what became far more important was what the intersections revealed, and what could be found at those spots. The more accurate my intersections, the more I was able to discover on the ground. For me, it's taken so long to draw what I hope is a complete(d) diagram because the trajectory is so long and the individual spots are so tiny, but without that precision the task would be impossible. If I'm right, the ending has multiple connections with Forrest, America, the poem mirrors - and even (in a roundabout way) the Lusitania! I think you may have the right sort of approach, but could perhaps benefit from thinking a little more about the first clue.

Where is attached Excel file? It would be interesting to see if you found the gator.

Grape was his fav and you can take it to the bank, but I wonder if you've spied the great ape? Nigh is he if you are able to trace but beware the troll for he looks you right in the face. Yes?
