Drive to the first clue and park where

[thetreasurehunter]

Forrest has made recent remarks that the first thing searchers do is drive to the first clue.  This is obvious.  Then what should searchers do:

-Do they park Where Warm Waters Halt
-Do they continue driving and park at another location 


The poem should direct us what to do.  I say it does.   

I think most searchers agree that the poem line 'put in below the home of Brown' is both a directional and geographical clue for where to park.

Forrest directs searchers to 'put in'.  This could be a clue that it is a boat launch area, even if searchers don't do that. 

It would be this location searchers go where people don't normally go.  Most who park here, put in a boat. Searchers, however, are to follow the poem and go to the 'no place for the meek'.

I think the line nfbtftw says we don't walk from wwwh but drive on down

It would be great to list directional and geographical clues of the poem. In another thread, it is being discussed which clues seem more straightforward and which ones are more cryptic or need the imagination to solve. The directional ones....those like tarry scant or look quickly down....Forrest seems to suggest they are clear cut.

What is Not far, but too far to walk? Is it cryptic? or not?

This tells you it takes gas to get from WWH to Brown. So obviously you drive by wwh.

Do you think that someone who is sure about the location of the home of Brown could reverse-engineer where warm waters halt? ~Ben Raylor



Thanks for the question Ben.

If you are sure about the location of home of Brown why are you concerned about where warm waters halt? But to answer your question, sure you could and a few searchers might throw in some gas money for a percentage of the take. Good luck.f

That quote to me suggests if you know the home of Brown, you know where the treasure chest is....

[zaphod73491]

For me, the quote tells me only three things: (1) that you can't know the identity of home of Brown without first solving WWWH, (2) that the two are not colocated, and (3) that this is a point-to-point treasure hunt. The latter because of a lack of concern about WWWH once you've ALSO solved home of Brown.

The question here is:

From my thinking and research you are driving a vehicle thru the first 3.5 clues up to no place for the meek/then you are on foot a portion of the meek, until you come to drawing night

Begin it where warm waters halt= DRIVING

And take it in the canyon down,= take the road down DRIVING
Not far, but too far to walk.= your not walking yet so still DRIVING
Put in below the home of Brown.= turning location change direction still DRIVING

From there it’s no place for the meek= he says from here means the road/trail is the change of direction point, here the searcher is still DRIVING/HIKING.

You are now at this point looking for a no paddle creek.

The million dollar question:

Where to start your DRIVE
Where is this Browns home that I turn at

WHILE DRIVING to get me to where he parked his Sedan.

The first 3.5 clues are driving.

Wwwh is shouting distance from HOB you can walk there from one another or drive but the road in to home of brown has a (private road sign) but it's not a private road. It's all part of the plan. Sounds crazy I'm sure but it's why 500' searchers went on past and why 200' foot searchers gave up. I'm pretty sure I'm right and pretty sure I know.

What does it mean to drive to a clue? If my solve for WWWH was 10,000ft up the side of a mountain, then how do you interpret Forest's statement?  If he is saying you drive to WWWH and you will be as close to it as your are to the Denver museum when you are in the parking lot, then that really really limits the options for WWWH doesn't it?  That would be a HUG clue if that is his interpretation of driving to WWWH.  Just my thoughts while sipping some really really good whisky.
