Hi Heidini: okay, you're going with synonyms. Consider an alternative: what noun/object would you associate with hitch? I almost want to say 'wagon' but that is only because I can't pull a trailer since I don't have a hitch on my vehicle. This is the example I found on Google that explains what I mean. A fastener or connection point, as for a trailer. His truck sported a heavy-duty hitch for his boat. Pulling out, in-tow, heavy loads also come to mind that was the first word that came to mind for me too. But my hitch is a wagon train going through the pass. Follow the Missouri River to it's source. Mouth. Mouth is mentioned 8x in ttotc. And other abbriations. Heavy loads and water high = portages. Just throwing my thoughts out there. |

I think of a phrase used in an 1862 essay by Emerson; "American Civilization"
"Hitch your wagon to a star."
Good match, IMHO.

Initially the mention of hitchhiker created an image of a depression era hobo clown with hus plaid shirt and knapsack on a stick. The mouth is associated with the voice in native folklore. The bigger the mouth the bigger the voice. Mouth: "Is this supposed to be water?" Mama Fratelli: "It’s wet, ain’t it? Drink it!" |

Make use of powers higher than your own. This phrase was used by the American philosopher and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson in 1870 in the context of idealistic aspiration; modern usage generally has the more cynical implication of attaching yourself to someone successful or famous in order to profit from the association.

Buffalo, Cody pass through Crazy Women Canyon (twins, secret, gold, hidden treasures, map on birch wood, Taos Lighting, fire, blaze, screams in the canyon are meek, shadows, rendezvous, and much more...). The travels of the Trapper's words lisson = leason, grissly Barre = bear. In a book I am reading the journals of the Mt. Men Clyman writes bear with a Capt'l "B" grissly Barre. Is this why FF writes his own words they way he wants?
I am getting closer everyday to answers. But very difficult to put them all together.

So ff says Hitch not Hitchhiker. Why did ff leave off hiker is ff using reverse psychology on us wanting us to think hiker. The hint here is the half hitch(name of an object in the search area). Rolltide picked up on it same as I did. Rolltide, myself, Wandering lost maybe, Minotaur maybe and a few others who post at the bottom of Q/A's, have the same area. Read the comments at bottom of Let's coin a new phrase" comment. They hint at the General area alot. It's not as big a secret as I thought. When you see the blaze it's obvious due to the previous clues and why and what brought you there. Then you see the elf. PhiladELF eye a; Elefant. The coin is pointing at the STOOL drawing in Bessy/Me. The end IS ever draWING eye. Down is feathers and is pointing at the blaze of a giant duck and it's bill. The thread started by Minotaur on hintofriches about hint in ttotc, the subject is the untipped waiter(Donny) and paper boy(Fenn). The RED caption letters when seen with a flashlight through page at the word STILL/steel(meddle enough to strike a trail) you see "ll" with an S overlayed= $; then an "A" overlayed on a "T"= at; and a bi over ll= bill. $ at bill; $ at bill. When you solve all this it points to the very last small area. The stool drawing has the words "two nickels" behind on opposite page. Stool/dime, what do they have in common? Stool PIGEON and DROP a dime on someone: a rat. Whats also in that drawing? Cats. Raton, NM. From there it's no place for the "M" eeeeek(what a girl says when she sees a rat). What highway goes by that town? 25. Power of a quarter. Line 4 = Raton, NM. Last clue takes you to the bill. It's also why he had the SB with $5, misquoted who was on the $100 and the many other hints. The 3 ducks, etc. I'm ok telling you all this. I leave tomorrow. If it's not there then Im on clue 8. Again, he IS playing hot/cold or green light/red light, and with me I'm pretty sure. With the Tyler Q/A he listed in order the subject of the Chase (I.D. *** then spelt out my avatar name's initials followed with the phonetic spelling of my last name(Wiley) which I had posted a week before(on purpose). It also listed the name of the mapping program used by a certain segment of a bureaucracy. It also revealed something else. |

It doesn't matter to me if he is or isn't though. It's not someone shallow ego trip for me. It just seems obvious from my pov. It has nothing to do with my solve. The Raton, NM clue is also hinted at by Fenn when he says "go with/in confidence. A confidential informant is also a Rat. The year of the rat is probably used or hinted at somewhere in his Writings. Each year has unlucky/lucky #'s 1-9. Has colors associated with each year. Idk if the zodiac calendar is used but the drawings help connect poem to map. I now have a repeatable method with a path on a map, resulting from this method. I have an end point, the why and am working on the distance and direction once off the bill.
