Hi RahRah: it's a default Proboards category, presumably based on your number of posts. You were listed as "rahrah", category: "God" (under your name). Jenny recently changed it so that it now says "Gold Member" (presumably not a reference to the Austin Powers movie!)

Maybe instead of Gold, it should be Rainbow Member.

Thinking it might be worthwhile to single out the possessive nouns as well. I find: my treasures, my trove, and possibly my secret (if it is a noun). These all certainly seem to belong to FF. Then: your effort, your quest, and your creek. To me, these are all logical; however, one stands out. Your creek. Clearly the quest and the effort belong to me but why does the creek belong to me? Thoughts? |

Thoughts? Great Question...... It seems to emphasize the need for you to pick the correct creek to follow in order to find the treasure chest........ Does this suggest there are a few to choose from? There are many below Hebgen Lake...and we know Forrest fished many of them....exploring fishing waters into the lesser known areas.... |

Your creek. Does stand out. If I'm walking by a creek, using it as a guide, it is my trail I decided to take. My creek. I can see Forrest using it that way. Your creek.

I’m currently leaning toward “yore” creek, , meaning Obsolete, of old; long ago. This certainly matches no paddle. But I’m going to think on the many creeks to choose from. |

We could also try 'yaw' creek (of a moving aircraft - to twist around a vertical axis). He was a pilot after all... |

It seems to me Forrest is talking to us in the poem... So it could be 'your creek' is the beginning of 'your quest' on foot which will be 'your effort'. Considering we might park 'BTHOB', the line 'there'll be no paddle up your creek' tells you that at that point of where you park, you then begin walking along a creek..... not a trail.... not just off into the unknown wilderness .....but up your creek....the one you chose.... which is no place for the meek, and where the end is drawing nigh. Heavy loads and water high also helps you determine which creek you choose. While walking up, you then find the blaze and voila......  Simplified. |

I was analyzing the nouns in the poem, trying to put together all the first letters and find their numeric value and see if there were any hidden codes.
This thread is quite pertinent to that cause as it is not straight-forward to define which of the words in the poem are meant as nouns.
