Clue #2 Put in below Home of Brown
From Boiling River, (did anyone brew tea?), we drifted down the Gardiner River past the intersection with the Yellowstone river (a favorite for rafting), and the town of Gardiner (an island in the wilderness), and we now put-in at:
The riverside Gardiner Park County Water & Sewer treatment ponds - (oh, that 13 yr. old mind!). Located below Hwy 89 AND just below the Gardiner, Montana Airport - Park County.
Forrest references the word "park" often, and our solution lies in Park County.
We started at the Boiling River parking lot (See Clue #1 post). Now after traveling down Gardiner Canyon, we shall "Put in" just below the Airport and the Home of Brown (water).
Google Earth and Google Maps show the large ponds above the Yellowstone River, and below the airport runway. You are using information technology (IT), correct?

Now where to?
A short walk up to the Gardiner Airport and we arrive at "no place for the meek, (as they shall inherit the earth). Therefore - the sky, and being brave, we now plan to simplyfly!
The airport utilizes RUNWAY 10 - 28, (The marking 10 indicates a compass heading of 100 degrees - runway numbers are determined by rounding the compass bearing of one runway end to the nearest 10 degrees and truncating the last digit, meaning runways are numbered from 1 to 36), the numbers are visible on G.E.
We will be departing from the end of the runway at marking 10.
Recall that Forrest placed a $100 bill on a a tree and the winner shot right through it? Pin that dime!
Runway departures usually involve a left turn to depart the traffic pattern.
Stay tuned!
As always, IMHO
