A thread for anyone to post a possible location of 'where warm waters halt'. Please try and limit discussions to 'WWWH possibilities'. Thanks

Many searchers from the very beginning have felt the 'Firehole River' could be the warm waters, and they halt at the Madison River. "The Madison River is formed at the junction of the Gibbon and Firehole rivers, hence Madison Junction. The Madison joins the Jefferson and the Gallatin rivers at Three Forks, Montana, to form the Missouri River." The Madison Information Station located at Madison Junction |

From the article in Earth Magazine is the following thoughts about 'where warm waters halt':
"Another very popular interpretation is that his use of “warm waters” is a nod to the New Mexico State Game and Fish Department’s classification of all streams, lakes and ponds – except those designated as trout waters – as “warm waters.” Fenn is an avid fly fisherman, so the phrase “where warm waters halt” could point to a boundary between warmer gamefish waters and colder trout waters."

My very first interpretation of WWWH's. When I answered the question myself before looking anything up I said out loud to myself "CHILE" Started laughing. Like a hot Chile pepper. I had no idea that the fishing regulations posted signs had green and red actually chilies with fish. It would be the most logical WWWH. It's the only word I know of that sounds cold but refers to something hot. All Chile peppers have different ratings of hot with stars. First red star mild, second red star medium, and third red star hot. Is there nine? idk. So my solve started with the Chile peppers and FF's book was in line with my thought and the poem was working too. Like take it in the canyon down = gouge. Hot Chile pepper contest. The celebration of the Chile Hatch in New Mexico south of Santa Fe though. The way they prepare the hatch Chile's by using a rotating barrel with a flame at the market was interesting. They bag them up for you in a brown cloth sack. |

Jenny if you go to the NM fish and game site it's funny when you look at the list of the fishing areas. One said canyon. I clicked on it and it said Bear Canyon. Did I just find Brown? Brown bear? If we ask any child what is brown in the wild they will say bear of course.

Near the bottom middle of the TC there's a gold nugget with what appears to be shaped as... the face of a bear.
Slow day.

Question. Am I interpeting the question about the India girl correctly? It was a random question from a seeker correct? This was a hypothetical question right? Is the girl from India a real person that solved the two first clues? I read into this as a fictional character.

Hi Jenny, with Fenn confirming 1000 or so locations where warm waters halt there must be one unique way to isolate the correct one (even though it can't be confirmed until the end). It only makes sense that there is a way to figure it out. All good treasure hunts have a method of filtering out the noise to get to the answer. I believe that stanza one clearly defines that location IF you can solve the riddle in stanza 1.

www.geography-site.co.uk/pages/physical/glaciers/climate_effect.htmlI didn't think the little India girl was a real seeker in the hunt for FF treasures. When I read the first question it was from another searcher that asked "if an India girl"... Do you think the seeker that ask the question was looking for answers to the India and Pakistan shrinking glaciers in the Himalayas? Read the the article above. And yes it has to do with geography (which FF said might help and looking at the Big picture. It involves a map). Please let me know your honest opinion. I am opening this up from my notes that I have been working on from the start of the hunt. It would be great if we all knew the correct WWWH. Seems to me even though the seekers that have the correct "Begin it WWWH" they have given up or still haven't found the correct direction to the TC. I wonder why? So if we all had the correct WWWH we would all of the same problem. Maybe due to the changing environment? Also La Nina and La Nino mean little boy and little girl. Little girl from India a cooling of the water in the equatorial Pacific that occurs at irregular intervals and is associated with widespread changes in weather patterns complementary to those of El Niño, but less extensive and damaging in their effects.

45 Degrees North Longitude? 60+30 =90/2=45 to reach one of the states we are all looking for. Because the equator is the warmest 30 degrees and the 60 degrees is Cancer. Take the formula that FF gives up from the horse shoe. Add an inch to 45?
30 degrees = equator the warmest region of the U.S.
60 degrees = Cancer. More cooler away from the equator.
Seems very logical. Now maybe find the verticle line that crosses over the 45th parallel.
So a mile more north of the Wyoming border to Montana?
45°0′N 124°1′W
States
Oregon
Idaho
Montana
Montana / Wyoming border (approximate)
South Dakota
Minnesota – passing through Minneapolis
Wisconsin – passing through a 45×90 point (halfway between the North Pole and the Equator, and halfway between the Prime Meridian and the 180th meridian).
The 45th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 45 degrees north of Earth's equator. Half way point = middle.
