Who is Rule(s), ChicagoDave? An archaeologist named Margaret Rule passed away several weeks before he answered that question. But I agree with Jennys earlier post which said that Forest was just demonstrating that he makes his own rules about capitalization |

I think that each letter of the "Not far, but too far to walk" line represents a mile. Forrest might of exploited his wagon for that same reason, because women and children walked aside the wagon trains at a maximum of of 20 miles a day. Any farther was just too far to walk. There are 21 letters in that line which is too far too walk. One of the issues I have with the idea that NFBTFTW can be resolved to a specific distance is - how do you know which distance? Just from the poem: - I have gone alone. Alone = 1 - I have gONE alONE = 11, or 1+1 - I looks like a 1 in the above = 111 or 1+1+1 - aloNE IN = nein = 9 - lisTEN = 10 Chances of it being a distance are very slim, imo. Dave, If it is a specific distance, I would think you would be able to identify it based on the solutions to the clues. At this point you have just identified possible distance is based on a way you are to read parts of the poem. I think forest is so specific that he was able to tell a searcher that they should be able to tell him the location of the treasure within 6 inches or something to that effect |

Does he mention in that book why he titled it that considering it's not just a line in the poem, but supposedly one of the 9 clues in it?
