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/ ...and then Fenn: "Dear Whoever Asked This Question, Thanks for answering it for me. f" ....Well there you have it...so we know it IS possible to get closer to the treasure, in fact all the way to the treasure with nothing but poem and book. Retreiving it ( a technicality for the LGFI) apparently was what Fenn meant. Well that's good to know I suppose! Actually, doesn't Forrest's answer of a Q in 2018's Six Questions, suggest not all nine clues can be solved from home? So it seems he was just saying thanks for answering...and not that it was a correct answer? It helps to know something about Rocky Mountain geography when making plans to search for my treasure. Rocking chair ideas can lead one to the first few clues, but a physical presence is needed to complete the solve. Google Earth cannot help with the last clue.

Hi Jenny: but that is still balanced by Forrest's other Q&A answer where he suggested ALL the clues could be solved from home ... in theory (but not in practice). This seems to be saying, you can know where you need to go, and perhaps know what you need to see or do when you get there, but you still have to actually do it.

Concur with Zap
Google Earth cannot help with "...look quickly down,..."

What if the "solution" to "look quickly down" is just an instruction to nod your head. You could possible solve the clue and still have to go botg to get the treasure. Look quickly down being as straight forward as actually looking down seems unlikely to me.

Look quickly down being as straight forward as actually looking down seems unlikely to me. bostonhiker I really like that - nod in agreement. If you've been wise and found the blaze nod in agreement and your quest will cease. Are you from Boston area by chance? I ask because I am. |

A nod is a movement down AND UP:
Definition of nod:
lower and raise one's head slightly and briefly, especially in greeting, assent, or understanding, or to give someone a signal.
