I believe the blaze looked like a black pie with a piece missing. It looked like a black pacman. I found it four years ago by looking at Google Map where my lines crossed.
1. Where did warm waters halt? Mr. Fenn wrote
". From there it was about a mile down that road to the Firehole River. Just before the river, there on the right, was a green geyser pool which spilled and spewed a small streamlet of boiling water that ran downhill for about fifty feet and into the cold river. My secret bathing spot – where the hot water tumbled into the stream"
Also...Firehole River is doublespeak for warm waters. Firehole equals warm and river equals waters.
2. What is canyon down? Of course, a canyon is lower in elevation than the surrounding area. But, I believe "down" means down river. Does going down river from the warm waters give a reasonable result for canyon down? Well...we reach Firehole Canyon, so, yeah, that's reasonable.
3. I am now in Firehole Canyon and needing to go to the home of Brown. I am also near a highway. So, it's reasonable to think it's time to drive to the home of Brown. What is the home of Brown? The Lamar Ranger Station. Ranger Gary Brown used to live here. Gary Brown died in 2010. Maybe Mr. Fenn went to the funeral or visited him while he was ill? I don't know. Lamar Ranger Station is about 40 miles away- not far but too far to walk. Let's take the highway to Lamar Ranger Station.
4. There's a good chance we are in the right place as there is a river a short walk down from us to put in our canoe. We are now floating down the Yellowstone River looking for a place that meek doesn't need to visit.
5. After floating for less than 20 miles or so, we reach the mouth of Hellroaring Creek. Meek is quiet. Hellroaring is deafening. Hellroaring is no place for the meek. Also, this is very poetic as meek is a biblical word and hell is a biblical word.
6. I'm going to take a break here. Some major things are about to happen in this explanation. Major things but not crazy things- perfectly logical things.
Tune in later...
