we know the first clue is where warm waters halt.
I see some taking this clue as thinking somewhere 'warm waters' halt. warm is describing the waters and they stay that way but halt.
others take it as the warm waters cease to be warm. it's the warm that halts not the waters that are warm. the warm changes by freezing, boiling, etc.
with the dip your toe comments and others where forrest says no warm water under the bridge, I think it rules out the warm halting and it is the waters that are warm halting.

Great question..... while those you mentioned seem to be the top two interpretations for 'WWWH'..... there are others.... like warm suggesting heartfelt waters or warm as a color, like Red River.....
In the early years there weren't so many comments by Forrest to seemingly narrow down 'interpretations'.... there are some now.
I agree his recent remarks about this 'warm to the touch' seems to be suggesting it is 'warm waters' as whole that halt.....
I just read somewhere about but if these more simplistic meanings to the clues are correct, why does Forrest say we need imagination?

I believe imagination is connected to the big picture, which helps to confirm our WWWH. Just my simple opinion. |

does forrest follow those rules? We don’t know for certain if he does or doesn’t, but it might be risky to discount the possibility. Seannm |

Also from recent comments by Forrest, it seems there isn't a difference in 'water' and 'waters' for Forrest....?

There are certainly many more options as well. For example, there is a theory that the warm waters halt 'us'. As in, it was a windy day so we halted our plans of playing ultimate frisbee, and instead flew kites. That even throws in an interesting take, not to be robotic.

geysers are hot though aren't they They are at the point they leave the vent (superheated above boiling), but not by the time the water comes back down and hits the ground. From Wikipedia: "Water erupting from Yellowstone's geysers is superheated … to an average of 204 °F (95.5 °C) as it leaves the vent. The water cools significantly while airborne and is no longer scalding hot by the time it strikes the ground, nearby boardwalks, or even spectators." |
