The second sentence is interesting too. Add it to the list of evidence that says he *knows* it hasn't been found yet.
I can't see how he can know, yet he seems certain.

He's not saying the home of Brown refers to Brown Trout, but not saying it doesn't.

I think there have been some people over the last few weeks/months or so that have been claiming 'Chest found'...... I feel he wanted to take this chance to say.... still out there and crush out some rumors....

He's not saying the home of Brown refers to Brown Trout, but not saying it doesn't. I tried to post this in the comments underneath but I kept getting the blue dinosaur trying to connect the power cord. So I'll post it here:
What if brown trout can be found in (or in close proximity to) whatever home of Brown happens to be, but the identity of Forrest's hoB is not named after the trout? Sue's question was whether Forrest had ever said Brown <sic> trout have nothing to do with home of Brown. Would that be true in this instance?
Suppose the place hoB refers to has a name like "Fawn Creek," and that the creek empties into a river in which brown trout can be found. In this case, Brown might derive from Fawn, not from the trout; yet brown trout happen to be right there.

Zaphod, you had narrowed the time that forrest hid the chest down to the summer of some year. how does that line up with forrests statement? If Zap hasn't changed his theory I believe he estimated the day to be Father's Day June 20th 2010 which would calculate to 9 years 8 months and 15 days. The reason I have this number on the tip of my fingers is because I have been thinking about the date the chest was hidden for the last several days which was brought up on other threads. Could Forrest have read the posts and this is the underlying hint in this featured question with Jenny and not Brown trout at all? |

I would think Forrest would certainly know his comment of 'more than 10 years' would be calculated to suggest he hid the chest before 'March 5th, 2010'. Personally, I think it's just a coincidence that I had recently posted a theory on 'when' he might have hid the chest, and although I had felt it was before July 2010, I wasn't thinking it was before March 5th of 2010-- for that wouldn't be 'in the summer' or when he was 'almost 80' (I would consider 'almost 80' to be 'within a few months of August)...
Funny, I used to think 'almost 80' was a hint to Interstate 80..... maybe it is now? who knows....
Either way, this 'more than 10 years' is interesting..... I'm still thinking on it...lol.....

If he was 79 then (and not the 'or 80')..... that puts it between August 22, 2009 and end of 'summer'...... before December, 2009 when that article was released. Unless this is just a round about comment by Forrest, and not necessarily true to actual time... |

He was 79 when he hid the chest.
OUAW, forward of Doug Preston.
And then finally, one lovely summer day in August 2010, I visited him
and he brought me into the vault. The chest was gone! "I finally
hid it," he said. He was about to turn eighty years old and still in
excellent health with no sign of cancer, and he decided to stop waiting
and hide the chest now. This way was better, because he would be
around to appreciate and enjoy the ensuing hunt.

I think Gene Thaw would be an interesting person to research. On the right side of the vault, on a sturdy shelf, sat a bronze casket of ancient workmanship that he had recently acquired. Gene Thaw, the noted collector, had identified it as a rare Romanesque lock-box dating back to 1150 A.D. He opened the lid to reveal a dazzling heap of gold - monstrous nuggets, gold coins, Pre-Columbian gold objects - along with loose gemstones, carved necklaces, and a packet of thousand and five hundred dollar bills. |
