the lgfi only had a map of the rockies and could solve the first two clues. if the first clues are off the rocky map she wouldn't have solved them. concludes the first two clues are in the rockies.

5Q) Your treasure hunt has inspired people worldwide to discover history, culture and nature, but many people, (even in the US) might be deterred because they don’t live near the Rockies or can’t afford to travel. Should they be deterred? Can a little girl in India, who speaks good English, but only has your poem and a map of the US Rocky Mountains, work out where the treasure is? And would she be confident as she solves each clue, or only confident when she has solved them all? A)I wish I had another treasure to hide in the Appalachians. The little girl in India cannot get closer than the first two clues. There are many disabled people who are deeply into maps and geography, and they are having a lot of fun. mysteriouswritings.com/mw-answers-forrest-fenn-treasure-little-girl-from-india-and-botg-question/

Thank you for putting the exact quote up me9. She has the poem and a map which is important. Secondly, we can't conclude the first two clues are in the Rockies by this statement. What if the poem led her to the first 2 clues, and not the map...

forrest says to marry the clues in the poem to a map. she only has a rockies map. Hi thrillchaser, are we reading the same quote? "Can a little girl in India, who speaks good English, but only has your poem and a map of the US Rocky Mountains..." ok I think I get what you're saying. You are using other quotes, not just LGFI. I guess I would say he did not say all 9 clues in poem should be married to a map, or did he? If he did, I would argue we really don't know for sure what the clues are and where a clue begins and ends.

"Can a little girl in India, who speaks good English, but only has your poem and a map of the US Rocky Mountains..." yeah I see that quote. forrest says in other comments clues get married to a map. I'm putting two and two together.

mysteriouswritings.com/six-questions-with-forrest-fenn-and-the-thrill-of-the-chase-treasure-hunt/Q) Even today, after more than six years of people searching, and after all the news coverage, articles, and stories written about your secreted treasure, some people are just learning about your Thrill of the Chase treasure hunt and getting involved. It continues to inspire. Do you have any advice for these new people? How should they begin the search six years after so many others? Do you feel they are at any disadvantage? No, fresh eyes and new thinking might provoke a winning idea. I would advise new searchers to look for the clues in my poem and try to marry them to a place on a map. It seems like the longer one thinks about the search the more they complicate the problem.

right- clues in the my poem get married to a place on a map. if lgfi can get the first two clues it stands to reason it is on a map she said she had.

The little girl from India stuff is , for me, one example of Fenn contradicting himself...
When he says this about the LGFI: "The little girl in India cannot get closer than the first two clues."
....But then in '17 had this quote: "read the clues in my poem over and over and study maps of the Rocky Mountains," he said via email. "Try to marry the two. The treasure is out there waiting for the person who can make all the lines cross in the right spot." Business Insider 2/9/17
...that, at least to me, seems to imply it IS possible to use nothing but maps, the poem (and book) and have the correct spot. I mean lets face it, its obvious the LGFI (or anyone else) can't confirm/retrieve it without going there. Maybe that's what he really meant to say.

Keep in mind that in Jenny's question, the ONLY map that LGII has is one of the U.S. Rocky Mountains. Not maps plural, just THAT map singular.

...or that she's a little girl. Maybe only an adult can access the particular area, an adult needs to be able to drive to the spot etc. There could be many explanations to the LGFI answer.

MW Featured Question: Across the Ocean (5/22/2017): "Hi Forrest, we are now aware that the poem is a map. If the poem is a map and will tell us exactly where to go, why couldn't the little girl from India get past the first two clues? I think it's because after solving all nine clues from home, the ocean prevents her from journeying to the precise location to retrieve the treasure chest. ~ Lagerta the Bold" FF: "Dear Whoever Asked This Question, Thanks for answering it for me. f" Link: mysteriouswritings.com/featured-question-and-the-thrill-of-the-chase-treasure-hunt-nucleus-of-the-poem/

Retreiving it ( a technicality for the LGFI) apparently was what Fenn meant. Well that's good to know I suppose!

Retreiving it ( a technicality for the LGFI) apparently was what Fenn meant. Well that's good to know I suppose! Although the Q was answered, I've always questioned whether that was how Forrest would answer it. Was he just saying the Q is answered, so he doesn't have to answer it? Is it a correct answer?
