FF Word of the Day: BOLD

[Jenny]

The lines of Forrest Fenn's Poem begins with.....

As I have gone alone in there
And with my treasures bold,
I can keep my secret where,
and hint of riches new and old.



Why did Forrest choose the word Bold? Just because it rhymes with OLD... or is it more?

Why did he go in there with his treasures 'bold'? He could have rhymed old with gold, hold, told, cold, etc...... maybe have said, 'and with treasures of gold'

Seems he felt hiding his treasure in there was something bold to do.... why?

Did he maybe hide it in a place that does't allow retrieval without secrecy? Must be bold?

[drpepperwood]

Everytime i see the line bold, I think of Brown. Its the only word that really "stands out" in the poem. I also believe Brown is what he named the chest in the poem

[deeepthkr]

Bold is also bald. Bold is big. Bold is capitalized. B, when split is 13 and a treasure symbol but it's not capitalized so take "b' and split it= lo. Same line you have below/belo. hoBrown is Pullman; Put 'in" belough the hon ne of capital B row N(line 14). Brown + "in" below(right of) it is Brownin- Pull man in. Who pulled him in the Candy Ann? A/1C Bob Sully. Poes Gold Bug story happened on an imaginary island called Sullivan. Sully. Back to row N and below: btw below can be blow and blow is the definition of "in the wood" as well as muse, inspire or is it IN a spire? So below row N is a capital B from the word Brown. See? Below "row n" is "B"= Brown. Now we have row N(sentence 14) to deal with and that b that must go low(b low). And why did I split the m above to two n's? Well one step down and step on it to get to the next... Walking in someone else's Footprints. Or one step at a time: ok so let's move that b to row n at the word cease. Why cease? Cause it's self referential, cease ceases. Now it's bease, bees. Now you know why I split the m in home: hon ne, honey. Quest two bees- Golden ratio, Fibonacci, or is it "lie+on+a pause cease+one. Why pause? Cause he uses it's synonym in immediate area: blaze/belays. Below blow seize cease but butt As/plural of capital A's. The apostrophe isn't needed if there's no ambiquity. Is there ambiquity? Yes. So do we need to take one from somewhere else? No. The clues are contiguous so solve one, move on. Before(ere/b4/ago/then) you go playing with the Fibonacci it's not needed, it was just an example of the many different ways one can use the words in the poem to get directions. I use/u's/w/v+v/ten/10/l/l/el/the/ some of the above in a simple manner. Look at his BOLD use of hints right in front of our face: the grass sees, the trees see and the ...something or other sees. See how grass and trees both end with two esses? Grass and trees are both used in plural yet one phrase uses seeS and the other See. Find out why. phonetics and figuring out the difference between a noun phrase and a adjectural phrase (?) can change what you think the poem says. Is it "there and with my treasures bold" or is it "there with mi bold treasures' treasures bold, think about it deeply. It will trigger, I promise. As I halve gone alone in there (and with=add/combine) my treasures bold. Is "there" his treasures bold. Did he go in his treasures bold, did he go in his bold treasures'. Did he go alone in bald treasures, did he go in his bold treasures'? Just some thought exercises while I wait a few days to leave. I believe he went alone in some of the Q/A's, have for years. Begin I(t); Be Jenny.

I wonder why we have to be bold.
And NPFTM and your EFFORT will be WORTH the cold and if your brave and in the wood.
What type of area is this ff said the TC isn't in a dangers place.
But then ff will say don't go where a 80 year old man couldn't go.
It seems to me.
You have to be bold to be in this area
Why ?
Then when you get in there it's NPFTM.
Now my effort will be worth the cold.
Like admin said it could be the touch of the gold.
And if you are brave and in the wood.
This would mean to me is a lot of dead falling trees in the canyon down.

[tinkerbelle]

Wouldn't that be something if Forrest hid that chest by somewhere the public frequents? I think of be old. It was a bold move for Forrest to hide that chest in the first place. No wonder you call yourself Deep thinker, who is to say that you aren't on to something. Thanks Jenny!

I just think it's interesting the way he wrote it - with that same ambiguous style that he always uses.

"and with my treasures bold" - Is he bold, or are the treasures bold?

If the answer was FF (or whoever "I" is"), wouldn't they have "gone boldly"? Of course they would have - if the writer had followed any rules - but alas, there were none - and we're left to wonder what's bold.'

Remember the SB about catching a fish and having a camera and taking a picture with it - "the camera I mean".....he always has to clarify those ambiguous sentences - so we have to continually ask - "what did he MEAN" when he wrote that.

The area could be a bold place to enter but not a dangers place.
Like a 30 degree slop in the canyon to get below the 10200ft mark.

[drpepperwood]

I always thought the TREASURES were bold or that it's bold to go in there because of the value of the treasures. Or FF is bold because of the crowds of pp as he walks in there.

When it comes to real property and personal property and the finding of it not on his or your property...others can place a claim on it whether it be private, public, state or federal lands. They are all different and the legal challenges that come with each. It's the lost and found...abandoned and forfeited...left to be "earned" ff says correctlyish. All these addresses the tc. The tc with the s is a different story. This bold (IMO) refers to ff laying claim to property by means of Quiet Title and for land used as cemetery way back when the person laying claim must write in bold letters CEMETERY and yes I know tc is not in graveyard. If the property is landlocked, a right-of-way must be granted for access. Still a grey area with the possible challenge to at least partial claim depending on where tc is actually placed. This is a stretch but ff being in the business he is in, I wouldn't put it past him, that he has done this before to get claims to property to dig in/on. For what it's worth and my own opinion.

the word treasures are bold? Or something that stands out like the word blaze.

Since there's been a lot of STAR talk (especially since we've gotten away from the 109/43 discussion) - I also had to ask myself if this might have been a Star Trek reference. Did he boldly go where no man has gone before?

Here's the original show text:

Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before.

And in interesting link to how this phrase came about - odd that it was an early government program to get people interested in space....did FF ever consider Nasa?


en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_no_man_has_gone_before


I was never a big fan of the STAR thing - but I wouldn't rule it out. I have wondered at times if the 9 clues mapped to some constellation with 9 stars - or if 109 was a reference to Messier 109....

Just thinking out loud here as I usually do when I have a bit of time to reflect by the fire.

Last night while researching the different words on the entire map and reading questions to ff, I came across something interesting to me. Focusing on highlihted I searched high thinking from an element point of view and searched H1GH and dug into the results for a while and came across Galois connection that is way beyond my algebraic skills being 30 plus years removed from it. Radical jumped out from the page and slapped me 10 or 12 times saying look at me. I finally made my way to how cartography maps/charts are made and how directions to a point are explained using landmarks and such to get to where you need to get to. What word is key - BOLD and using the maps key to know where all the clues are. I tested it and came up with 9 exactly which includes the 1 word that has annoyed all of us - Brown. "Put in below the home of Brown" has 2 clues in it. For all who reads this: is it mere coincidence, the mastery of the poem or has cause for digging.

Jenny....Is this worthy of a GOLD star for me;-)
