Richard: I look forward to your report, but I'm sorry for you if you're locked into CO. After my report you will understand why. You are not going to believe it till you check it out yourself. It is perfect hidden logic. If I don't recover the TC which I am not saying I will under any circumstance. I will be willing to bet, (figuratively speaking), that you will venture there yourself.

Sorry, Richard, but under no circumstances will I ever search Colorado (or New Mexico or Wyoming). You might ask yourself why that might be.

It's answers plural, not that it matters to your particular solution.

Drifter: I'm fine with people searching wherever they want to. I wasn't arguing that at all; where I was disagreeing (in advance) was with Richard's presumption that I would be enticed into searching Colorado once he reveals his solution later this month. That's simply not going to happen.

Is 'home of Brown' so difficult to understand, even once on location? How many people tried to find it on location though? Everyone has their HoB before they even leave the house. The farther I get into unraveling this puzzle, the more I understand what Forrest says. Even things like this.

The farther I get into unraveling this puzzle, the more I understand what Forrest says. Even things like this. That is a good question-- Although searchers most likely have their hoB ideas and locations before leaving for a Boots on the Ground search, when they don't find the treasure chest, which has always been the case thus far, I would assume, like I do, they backtrack and begin considering if there are other possibilities for the clues, including hoB--- especially if they feel strongly about WWWH, Canyon down.... We know many searchers have identified WWWH, why is hoB, or the other clues following WWWH, not 'realized' once that one has been found?

One possibility that I keep running into is that HoB can indeed only (likely) be determined once you are at the location. People don't want to hear that because it dashes their dreams of a 100% armchair solve from home so they say that it's can't be true. But look at the evidence to the contrary. One might be able to still solve it from home, but is it likely?

One might be able to still solve it from home, but is it likely? What is the evidence to the contrary? The most obvious is that many have solved the first two clues, but none have solved the HoB as far as we know. That alone suggest a shift in the paradigm of solving the poem. There is also the several references of Forrest's to "the spot", which others believe is the blaze but I have always believed is referring to HoB. "If you are standing in the right spot, something that probably hasn't occurred to you before should be obvious to you", or the email (second hand, but likely true) where he is asked "So no one is looking in the right spot?" and he replies "No one is look at the right spot.". Add that to some of his words with Jenny about people who are impatient and ruin a good solve by rushing ahead rather than looking around at where they were. I have probably 7-8 different things from him that all point to the idea that the HoB is most likely to be solved on the ground rather than from google earth.

I've never understood the answer Forrest gave about if you could solve all the clues from home, something to the effect of all of them in theory, but not likely in practice.

I think it's a cover your ass kind answer. I don't think he knew that Google Earth could do all it could do when he wrote the poem. I think it is theoretically possible you could get just the right picture or viewpoint from home, but is also unlikely.

I feel The Little Girl from India suggests the possibility as well.....

Seems to have given Forrest a bit of room to be Fennish. On another note, it really should be noted how much extra useful information is a result of Jenny's questions and contact with Forrest - thanks Jenny!
