Many seem to see the LGFI and two clues as a contradiction. I don’t think so. Perhaps it’s a directional hint.
Here’s what FF said: 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.
Those 3 sentences actually go together well. Why the Appalachians? It’s a hint.
First sentence: If you fly to the east coast of US from India (Appalachians) you would fly west. If you fly From India to the west of the US (the search states) you would fly East.
Second sentence: After your WWWH and canyon down or perhaps plus NFBTFTW, your third clue needs to lead you East. Therefore the LGFI cannot get “closer” than the second clue.
Third sentence: therefore “closer than two clues“ is not a contradiction to all the clues except the last one being solved with GE and maps.
if your third clue takes you East, you might be on a good solve, imo.

If I remember that ff topic with LGFI, He was referring to the author of the question who lived on the east coast where the Appalachians are closer to treasure hunters there. |

I wonder how her search went with the Little Kid from Peñasco. I learned not to underestimate either of those two.

I don’t even know why people are still talking about the little girl from India. This was made up by Jenny. Forrest did not come up with a little girl from India.

The little girl from India? It's been a few years now. Maybe she has a driver's or pilot licenses? Maybe she wasn't from India, but just staying there temporarily. There's alot left to be understood about this young lady from India I think. Also the boy from Texas I heard mentioned once, apolooska or something. What's the deal there, did he run off and join the rodeo, is he up in Oklahoma now running a combine? Will we ever know these stories? I believe that mysterious writing has left even more mystery. It's only a matter of someone will solve these riddles.

We still talk about it because of the substance of the answer that Forrest gave Jenny. As with most of the questions he is asked, the hint isn't in the question, it may be in his answer. |

I guess that makes sense. |

So I guess one who lives in America, and has only the poem and a map of the Rocky Mountains can get closer than the first two clues, and maybe all the way to the treasure.
what was it again that Mr Nope from 500 years from now Was missing? Oh that’s right a map.
Power to the poem purist. LOL. 😁

No map or wrong map equals no chance. A map of the U.S. Rocky Mountains is the wrong map. And as a gentle reminder, it's the little girl IN India, not from India. That alteration is almost as off-putting as those who say "house of Brown." ;-)

LOL. 😁 Seannm . if i recall, there is a commonality about the group foorest mentioned including the little girl IN (zaphod  ) India and the people in his follow on comments. zaphod, didnt forrest once refer to Browns house? ( i was surprised when i read it, although it was possibly a miss quote by a reporter I would have to check ) |

That is just your belief based upon your interpretation of what you think the first two clues are and what they mean. But we don’t “know” for certain that a general map of the US Rocky Mountains isn’t a good enough map to marry those first two clues to. However, I would agree that a general map of the US Rocky Mountains may not be detailed enough to get us beyond those first two clues, and that is why I said “and maybe all the way to the treasure” in my above post.

If you found a map to your spot that had the initials T, G, F, and I, would this create confirmation bias of some sort? Or would that help you nail down the first two to few clues? What if the I was next to a nail on the map AND on the ground? I think I'll keep looking at my spot, just in case. I found the nail in my avatar on my way "to E", how strange is that?

Seannm Funny, because YOU don't "know" what "spot" I've been "AT" or if it's "wrong". just think while you've been getting down and out about the liars and the dirty, dirty cheats in the world, you could have been getting down to this sick beat |

Seannm Oh, I fully believe that a (paper) map of the entire U.S. Rocky Mountains *is* sufficient to solve the first two clues. I'm only saying that map isn't sufficient to go beyond that, and that's the most likely reason that TLGII can't get closer than the first two clues. I actually found Forrest's answer very interesting in that he was admitting that despite that coarse map, Little Indy may still be able to solve the first two clues. |
