Hey all! I looked for a thread on this could find one so I will start it. I just completed the stanza three (or fourth clue) write-up on my Searcher's blog at findingfenn.com. I have been writing about it for a while but in generalities. This time I applied the follow the star and contiguous clue theory, to produce a real location. One thing that I have learned and many beginners will continue to learn is that as Mr. Fenn says, not all is as it seems. There are so many things I wrote off as possibilities early on, which I now believe explains how the redneck has the advantage. The really smart people, use their logic and assumptions to exclude things that the imaginative think about. I finally found a way to use these vague and imaginative clue answers that most ignore to isolate places on the map. Take "ever drawing nigh". Many people only apply the draw nigh but not the "ever" that is a guarantee one will fail right there another instance is "heavy loads and water high" They take those in isolation, water falls come to mind for most because the Fenn sight of hand designed the puzzle to make us think that way. What most do not consider is the "and" the answer to that line in the poem MUST be both heavy loads AND water high. Saying water is a heavy load is weak and adds no descriptive value to water high. It is like another riddle to answer. The answer to this clue is logical and probably the one with the most hints but the answer will not help anyone unless they follow the clues in order from the beginning and apply the contiguous key method to solve it. That is how I look at it anyway. Good cook all! |

Good cook to you too.... Can you explain more about the password needed? Hi Jenny the password is on the last page of my book (version 3.5). Alternatively, if anyone donated to the Terry Fox Organization (cancer research) I will provide them a password. Go to my website, www.findingfenn.com then select the "Blog" from the menu bar, select "Searchers Blog" The Wolf |

My cook is usually pretty bad. But then, I make my own cook. lol
Wolfie, I agree with your thinking. I don't know if we have the same answers for those specific clues, but I do agree.
But also, I think there are layers to these clues where they can also have extra meanings.
That's something that strikes me often throughout the clues, they have more than one meaning. A prime meaning, then more.

A prime meaning, then more. Hello Goldwatch. What I have found interesting with my newest technique is that the answers to the clues are not necessarily place specific. It is possible there are two or more places that match the answer, it actually is a requirement and circumvents someone from beginning in the middle of the poem. It is an absolute requirement to start at clue one, and now makes so much more sense of why Mr. Fenn has been pounding the table on this. I have written about the multiple meanings theory many times and in my book and I am a big supporter. What changed for me is this new contiguous clue technique demands multiple meanings. It is really interesting to me since this is so much like what a master puzzle should be. |

It is really interesting to me since this is so much like what a master puzzle should be. Heavy loads and water high. Ties in to two clues the first clue it ties in to There be no paddle up your creek and the other one could be your warm waters halt only one of them. After a mountain fills up with water then the first amount of water that comes out is warm waters it being pushed out. So the water high is warm waters coming to the top. |

Heavy loads and water high, to me, are 2 landmarks across from each other as I drive past. Being the double Rs (rookie redneck) that I am. Water high IMO is a water tower next to the road and heavy loads is a giant beetle across from it. Please tell me this 1 time that my thinking has some merit to it. Fits perfect with my current road map.

I'm not sure how it will end, but from what I do have, I think it's literally worthy of a great movie. There are many fantastic things involved in solving this. |

Forrest Fenn and Buffalo Bill Cody = Irrigation. Has anyone else entertained a theory?

Buffalo Bill Cody looms large in my TTOTC thought process. A remarkable life and human being. Kind of makes you wish that you could go back in time.
