The Scrapbook that showed the letter and 5 dollar bill on the desk does bear looking into as I believe it was a further clue to the area to search. The letter bears an address in 'Florence' and the folded over five dollar bill suggests investigating its reverse which shows the Lincoln Memorial, it has many states listed around it but only one of the four states in the search area are on there, namely 'Colorado'. The facade is clad in marble from Yule Quarry in Colorado.
'Florence' is in 'Fremont County' which lies along road number 67 which are the numbers revealed in the syllable counts of lines 2 and 3 of Stanza 1. This 67 road number from Florence crosses highway 50 out of Canon City near the airpot and continues as a main part of 'Phantom Canyon Road' which passes the 'Adelaide' site.
Remember Forrest's comment of the boy brandishing an olive jar in front of his face, Forrest says something to the effect of "what was that all about" That boy was 'John Charles whatever' which I believe was a clue to 'Fremont' as it took its name from 'John Charles Fremont'. The olive jar could have been a clue to the olive jar which Forrest put his autobiography in, which was included in the chest. This would help substantiate the area the treasure was hidden within.
Just some extra thoughts IMO of course. I welcome any feedback on this.

Well there is an Adelaide Lake next to Snowshoe Mt, WY where the treasure was located  |

If you watch my solve video that I posted here in the solutions thread, I fully explain what Scrapbook 107 means, and it's the biggest bombshell in the entire chase since it confirms the general location of the chest. You are overcooking it. The reference to Florence, CO is to draw your attention to the simple fact that it's along the Arkansas River, which is were the chest also was. All clues in scrapbook 107 point to one general location and one solution to the third clue that everyone missed.

Hi omni I watched your video from beginning to end, sadly it did not convince me at all. You cannot be precise in doing what you did. I am still of the opinion that geometry is the only precise method you can use on a map, to get the results Forrest wanted you to get, and he knew which angle of geometry would take you to Where warm waters halt. Waters is plural as you rightly say but by the same token any place called something 'Springs' is also plural. I feel that your solution is too sketchy with a lot of guesswork. Forrest has implied that you can find the location before you have to go BOTG, in other words you could walk straight to it. Sorry omni but I will have to beg to differ with you on this one, but hope for your sake you were right and I was wrong. indigo |

I thank you for watching! I think all these solves are far too complicated. Mine not only matches everything FF has ever said and also solves scrapbook 107 in every way as confirmation, but it is simpler than any other I have seen out there. Remember that he said we would all be amazed at how simple it really was. It's hard to achieve precision with a geographic puzzle, which is what FF himself said that this was. Basically riddles and geography. |

Remember that he said we would all be amazed at how simple it really was. It's hard to achieve precision with a geographic puzzle, which is what FF himself said that this was. Basically riddles and geography. Have you read my solution omni? It was based on the rainbow, forming a prism on the map based on 40 degrees projected into the Colorado map from its South East corner directly and precisely to 'Colorado Springs' which is Forrest's "where warm waters halt". Two colors of the rainbow have angles related to them RED is 42 degrees and Blue is 40 degrees. Discovering this you can now see the connection with 'warm' and 'cold' which are in the poem and relate to temperatures of Water. On faucets RED is HOT and BLUE is 'COLD'. Verse 6 line 2 says: "Your effort will be worth the cold" if we now return to the angle of color it is the cold BLUE angle of 40 degrees which you must use. So why is 'Colorado Springs' where warm waters halt? Colorado means RED so by this system it is HOT. It is found by using the 'COLD' Blue angle of 40 degrees. So if COLD meets RED you have a mix of the two here and you get 'WARM'. The 40 degree angle selects the tiny circle signifying 'Colorado Springs' and this tiny circle or ring resembles a degree symbol used after a number. From there if you know you are building a prism shape it pretty much dictates where you should find clues 2 and 3's location and drawing them together. 'Canyon down' is 'Canon City' as it has a 'tilde' accent over the first 'n' changing its pronunciation to 'Canyon'. 'Home of Brown' is 'Pueblo' because Pueblo home are of brown earth colors. These three geographic locations form the Prism / Triangle we need. From here you can get to: "No place for the meek" "From there" relates to using 'Pueblo' for the next projection. Notice 'P UEBLO' has BLUE mixed up in the middle of the word. We know that a prism projects color through it and that it s what you do, you project BLUE through it to the site of the treasure. The state's name ' COLORA DO' provides clues to what you are to look for, and a place to look for it. Notice the word 'COLD' which appears in the correct order in the word. It embraces the name ' ORA' who was the school janitor remember. Her name means 'LIGHT', this now leaves us with an 'O' which is a 'CIRCLE' The clue here is what we are to look for: a 'COLD LIGHT CIRCLE'
'COLO/RADO' is the the only even number lettered state of the four. You can break it into two groups of four letters, if you do so and anagram each group you get 'LOCO ROAD' This gives us instruction as to what we are looking for and where we will find it. The projected location from 'PUEBLO' is 'ADELAIDE' along 'Phantom Canyon Road' number 67 in Fremont County. Here there is a large circular 'CISTERN' the cold light circle we sought. Forrest uses the word 'cistern' on Page 106 and relates it to "Ideas and Opportunities" on Page 107 directly opposite you see just a photo of his two young daughters who resemble 'TWINS' which is a clue that we must imagine this large circle as the Zodiac, for the Twins are 'GEMINI'. We must now encounter further puzzles to discover where something is buried. Remember Forrest's Periodic words statement: "You can't have a correct solve unless you can knowingly go within several steps of the treasure, otherwise you have a general solve. What do you think" I always thought it strange the way the poem verses were laid out, as verses 2, 3, and 4 hold all the geographic location clues and 2 + 3 + 4 add to 9 all the the clues. Whilst verses 1, 5 and 6 add to 12. This I believe relates to the Zodiac puzzle at the end, a circle divided into 12. I worked on this and it proves that something was buried at the center of this cistern circle in the trash. The word 'TIME' relates to 47 if its letters are added together 47 is the atomic number for Silver. I am convinced that the Bracelet was buried here. This was my solution omni. I believe it is based on precision, but what do any of us really know. indigo |

I have looked at it some. It seems far too elaborate and complicated to be correct IMO. But I think that of almost every solve.

Hi omni glad you gave it a look all the same. If you know the first clue "Begin it where warm waters halt" and the rainbow idea linked to Isaac Newton suggests a prism shape to you, well then it pretty well drives itself to the end. It was just grasping why Forrest mentioned the end of his rainbow before treasure that got me thinking. I would bet the solution is rainbow based in the end, if we ever see the correct solution. Wishing you all the best.

He was attempting to find a railway to Taos. Also, Blumenschein and Phillips passed thru this area and later created the Taos Art colony. |
