Yeah, I agree that you have to go to the site for the final discovery. I think that's likely the reason that Forrest's gut feeling turned out to be indigestion. The final effort must be a doozie. Then would that mean 1 site for all 9 clues if I drove down a canyon and put in below then that would mean different sites I don't think you can draw a conclusion, either way, on this. The 9 clues make a map, we know that. But how far it is between the clues can't be determined until a person figures them out. Also, with some of the depth I think I've found (I could always be wrong, just like anyone else), it's quite possible that Forrest does have hints and clues that are very well hidden. So maybe you don't actually have to go BOTG to figure out the final answer. It may be just extremely hard to figure out (speaking about that final puzzle). Keep in mind that Forrest also said that a person can find the treasure with just the poem, and also that once we all know the final answers we'll all say "why didn't I think of that." So, really, what we are talking about here is probably relative. In other words, we're talking about likelihoods and foreknowledge. Yet, a person could figure it out the easy way, the simple way, and might actually get it right. Even lacking the many extra hints and clues and building a detailed support for their map. What I'm getting at is that anyone can get this, in my opinion, even a raw rookie with limited details, and make the right map straight from the poem. My suggestion (for what it's worth) is that if a person has an idea that seems to make sense, and can make a trip out there, they should. Why not? Just be aware of the safety and take precautions. Don't take risks. Forrest was 80 years old when he hid the treasure, and he sure wasn't going to risk that much treasure and that much work on a dangerous trip. And even a man like him has to take a bow to age. |

Has ff ever said that the 9 clues are only in the poem itself? Meaning the clues are not anywhere else on the Poem/Map page.

I think he said something to the effect that there are 9 clues in the poem, and hints in the book(s?). Said together, that's got pretty strong meaning. But I don't know where he said that, so I can't say absolutely that this is correct. It just sticks in my mind.

Why is it something in messing with his poem that will put you in a certain area and he knows it. For one to tell you not to do that and he brakes rules him self It seems like he's telling you in a way to mess with his poem |
