hunker (v.)
"to squat, crouch," 1720, Scottish, of uncertain origin, possibly a nasalized borrowing of a Scandinavian word such as Old Norse huka "to crouch," hoka, hokra "to crawl." Hunker down, Southern U.S. dialectal phrase, is from 1902, popularized c. 1965; in this use the verb is perhaps from northern British hunker "haunch." Related: Hunkered; hunkering.

Comment by Forrest after Dal asks about '“We worked our way through them by banding together and gutting down.”
Is anyone here familiar with the phrase “gutting down”?
That’s a new one to me….

I don’t know what that phrase means either but it seemed like a good one to use at the time. Maybe it means that everyone should do the very best they can and it will all work out. f

The horizontal lines are on the horizon, it doesn't rise or fall. To keep it short as a clue or hint he could be saying the clues in the poem are tight close together with not much space between.
This is our answer to the distance between conundra.

Question posted 7/3/2014: Hi Forrest, you said it was a man who came physically closest to the treasure, but who has come mentally closest, like, who seems most likely to interpret the clues correctly – man or woman? ~Lily McG She’s playing the gender card folks but I’m wise to it. Perhaps all searchers think they have been mentally close to the treasure but that doesn’t matter much when you get to the bank. A man has been within striking distance but so have some women. That’s probably not a good subject to discuss considering the volcanic effect it could have in certain blog arenas. I wish someone would ask me a question that I would feel comfortable answering, like what color is a daffodil.f mysteriouswritings.com/questions-with-forrest-fenn-and-the-thrill-of-the-chase/ |

I think this scrapbook shows that somebody is on the top of their game. Forrest is telling us to be safe and we will get through this, but also that the fat lady is singing.
Please stay safe everybody.

Please stay safe everybody. Maybe gender card should be corrected politically lol maybe it’s a fat”man” and I agree that Forrest is definitely saying there is a front runner. He can’t say it out loud like that because he has already said he doesn’t know of a lead searcher. Well if he did he most certainly wouldn’t say. He’s facing into the wind. |

Since Forrest hasn't (and evidently won't) give a clue-solving progress report beyond "Some may have solved the first four clues, but I am not certain," perhaps he would answer this:
"Forrest, it's been over four years since you wrote that you weren't certain if some had solved the first four clues of your poem. Would you be willing to reveal whether anyone now has solved the first three clues to your certain knowledge?"

Gosh, I was really just reporting what I saw in the scrapbook but I’ve obviously offended.

There was no offense taken. I was having a bit of fun with it.

What do the numbers mean, 61, 45? It hasn’t been 61 degrees in Santa Fe this month. 6145? 106?
