For some reason, I think "Title" is the word that is key.
The last line of the poem is I give you title to the Gold. i.e. the location of the TC or WWWH is based on a Title of another book/poem.
For example, HOB could be Brown's Park, Colorado and follow it down to a place called "Gates of Lodore" which is named after a poem titled "Cataract of Lodore"; this poem is about flowing water. Therefore the Gate of Lodore is WWWH.

I don’t think it’s there, but “gates of lodore” just sounds exotic and wonderful.

There are so many words that could be key words. However, FF was careful in selecting his words "tight focus with a word that is key" which by the strictest definition is actually "key."
Here is a riddle for the word key:
I wave all day but never tire, at the end of the day I retire. What am I?
Answer: A flag. Home of the brave is also a US flag reference. Word that is key = Francis Scott Key wrote the lyrics to your anthem "Star Spangled Banner" - Follow the Star!
Now here is the cool part. Remember the important literature section in the book. Important must mean there is something in those books that is, well, important. The The Great Gatsby written by F. Scott Fitzgerald coincidentally is linked to another F. Scott Key. Just another reason I love the word that is Key.

I looked at that area, just via internet. Beautiful place. Did you see that grotto? Wow! But I've seen this idea posted several times over the years. So far, no one has found the treasure there. But a great and stunningly beautiful area. I'd love to go just to go see it. A treasure hunt is icing on that cake, no doubt. |

Interesting because there is another book out there by Ric Hajovsky " Lost Kivas of San Lazaro" in 2010 at the request of FF and then followed up to FF's own 2004 "The Secrets of San Lazaro Pueblo" |

Looks interesting. There is one searcher that talks about his solve using the book on youtube. Wish I had a copy.

If there is one good clue that searches can think of themselves, it should be the answer to "So why is it that I must go".
FF said that he did not want to be a "burden" on his family.
Maybe "burden" is the word that is key and is part of a title.
I'll never be your beast of burden
My back is broad but it's a hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me
I'll never be your beast of burden
I've walked for miles my feet are hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me |

This is my first post, so please let me know if I am out of line. If my notes are correct ff said there is an unintended clue. The unintended one could very well not be a word in the poem. When I started digging, it helped me confirm that my thinking (worth nothing until the tc is found) and road map has some merit (again worth nothing). At this point I have a beginning location and driving route with specific road names and landmarks I will pass while driving to the tc from the clues. I may have stumbled upon what is the blaze that is located at my starting point as well.

Yet. ;-) |

Yet. ;-) Imo. I don't think Forrest will ever tell use if some one figures out the third clue. This would be to much information about the third clue. Forrest had said a few clues will lead you where,the TC is not in them words but the same meaning. There are 4 clues going down in the canyon You need to understand how to find the fifth clue Then the duration changes you'll be headed in to another duration for the next 5 clues. |

Well I said something wrong. The half way point,to the TC is 3 clues From there it's no place for the meek The end is ever lasting nigh. Forrest has said if he told you what the hob was then you could go and get the TC. If 2 clues can lead you to the TC. There's 3 clues that leads one within 200ft. The next 3 clues leads you to the TC.. The next 3 clues Imo 2 of the clues is telling us how to hunt for the TC and one of them tells us what the hob is. |
