Something nobody has thought about

[Deleted]

Hello everyone,
A world globe a few yard's of yarn = a big ball of string. Say like look at the big picture coming from a world traveler Forrest has been.
This is a good map. Yes all the clues are close together when BOTG but who said there's only one way to a perfect solution. What if where wwh can be many places and it all still come together. What if the put in below the home of Brown is Port Elizabeth? What if no place for the meek is Hillsboro Oregon? Heavy loads and water high remind me of head carrying water pots. 
Look at TTOTC page 141, warm dampened bedridden wwh . The mucky trail leading to the black abyss.

Hi thirdeyefirst,

I think that is creative demonstration, and I can see how your idea relates to a "big picture" given FF's travel history.

While I think hints from all over the world can help to understand the clues, I am of the opinion that the location of the clues will be found in the only in rocky mountains.

Hi KK
Thanks for your response to my post.

The little girl in India can't get past the first two clues, so my question is how many clues are there before "FROM THERE it's no place for the meek" ?

With Forrest fondness to the mountain men like Joe meek and explorers of earlier time's does or could npftm suggest at this point we should take what we've discovered from the first stanza and begin in the Rockies?

The FROM THERE seems to imply we are certainly relocating from a place to a new place but it comes off to me like it's more distant than just seeing something on site and walking over to it, to me it sounds like a new start in a new place.

Please tell me what you think.
Thanks.

Regarding how many clues are before "From there it's no place for the meek", my opinion is that there are three.

As far as the little girl from India, I wouldn't hang onto or let my solve go based on how far she can get. I think there are several ways to interpret what FF might have been implying in his response to Jenny.

My thoughts are that you are intuitive, and that you should trust your own thoughts regarding "FROM THERE"...I think your reasoning is on the right track. I would also agree that it is important to take what has been learned from the first stanza and apply it to a location in the Rockies...

I think the blogs can be a great tool for discussing different perspective and methods, and for spurring our own thought process, but in regards to thoughts or suggestions of others, I always try to heed the following quote from FF because I think it is a profoundly wise statement. (And I believe it applies as well to anything I publicly post).

PG 98 "In many ways we are but sheep following the dictates of other minds, many which are not as fruitful as our own."

Happy hunting!

I also wonder if we have to solve the poem just once. Some of my thoughts require following the poem from a broader area as you are suggesting and then starting at the top and following it again in close proximity.

This fits somewhat with Forrest advice to read the poem, go back and read the book again slowly, then go back to the poem.

I'm trying to fight off this thought that Africa is involved. There's that red green black tea and the red green black flag.
We are home of red white blue.
Who is home of Brown?
Looking at my globe I was looking at the continents and Port Elizabeth on the southern tip immediately caught my eye for a put in bthob. I'm not stuck on it but its still there. On a global size I already know where WWH.
I think this takes a big imagination.

Sticking to facts that can be verified: (at least via his books) 

RE: Africa. In FF's book "Two Far To Walk" there is a chapter about an African trader named Sosoko.

RE: Port Elizabeth. FF's best friend was a cow named Bessie (Bessie & Me)

Sir Rufane Donkin wife's name was Elizabeth
Maybe he called her Bessie.
Another thing that has Africa in my mind is this quote that we will end up where we first started.

From the fossil beds of Olduvai and Lake Turkana archaeologist amassed specimens of the early hominins: the australopithecines and Homo species, and even Homo erectus. These finds cemented Africa as the cradle of humankind. It appears that Africa is where we first started.

heavy loads and watt-er high

Magnetic poles? Or pole. A watt-er high is on a pole?

I think a big X on a globe made with string will give the blaze. He said the blaze can't be seen on Google Earth but we know that it will be found on earth.
He said marry the clues to a place on a map but then he said there are a lot of disabled people looking at maps and having fun with it.
Are we all disabled if using the wrong map?
He said Google Earth can help but I think a globe in hand is like the same.
Here is what separates Google Earth from a globe in my mind.
Who would you rather work on your car? Someone fresh out of auto mechanic school or someone with years of HANDS ON experience. I like the globe because it's more hands on plus I can make my own ball of string.

"load" is an electrical term, as is "watt"

the earth has magnetic poles, and so does a hydroelectric generator - not sure which you are referring to

Earth because anything else is manmade.
