Did Forrest once say - “that there was more in one particular poem line than first seen” or something to that effect, suggesting that maybe one clue had more than one answer?

I never heard that one before, but happen to believe it's true.

He said a few things: + The nouns are important + There is a word that is key + And when a reporter read stanza 2, he said it sounded like 3-4 clues to him There is a rumor that he told Cynthia that there is a key word in almost every line, but I do not pay attention to rumors given in private. Things he said in private can't be confirmed, and he doesn't give hints or clues in private. In fact, I believe that when he detects someone is looking for private hints, he tells them bogus and meaningless things such as "dip your toes in wwwh". If it didn't come straight from Forrest's mouth (as a direct quote OR in a video/audio interview, or TTOTC), it should not be taken seriously.
Here is the BIGGEST quote that is bogus and out of context, also it was said IN PRIVATE: "Do not mess with my poem."
Nowhere, at NO TIME did Forrest ever say that in public.

It’s weird, someone else had commented it on one of their posts which suddenly made me think about it. Also think maybe there is was one stanza that contained three? Clues
That interests me much. Because. “so why is it that i must go And leave my trove for all to seek? Was the last part i was working on which i had found two clues: How high? And a mark on quest. (Question mark)

The quote was from an interview: www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/sante-fe-treasure-hunt-1.2942225The statement was: "Well some of them seem… Some of the clues maybe are things that people locally would know. You say, “Begin it where warm waters halt and take it in the canyon down. Not far, but too far to walk. Put in below the home of Brown. That seems like a couple of clues to me." Fenn answered: "That sounds like three or four to me." I count 3 clues. |

Four for me. I always thought that exchange with Jennifer did a pretty good job of killing a popular notion that each sentence was one clue.

Yet when asked....if Someone unfamiliar with your poem receives a message that says “meet me where warm waters halt, somewhere in the mountains north of Santa Fe”. Would they be able to work out where to go? So begin it where warm waters halt is the first clue and the whole clue is not contained within that line? Or you need the "Begin it" part of the line which was not addressed in the question?. Missing a few ingredients. |

Yep... And for me you needed to know what IT is in order to BEGIN IT.
Many people *think* IT means "the chase", but honestly I think that is what a newbie or amateur might say, and it is wrong.
Look at it this way, Forrest said "I felt like an architect making that thing [poem]. f". Now what does "found" mean (as in find the blaze)? It means to "establish". So if he was an architect, that makes the poem a BLUEPRINT. Blueprints are made to construct (found) something. IMO, "IT" is what we are using to construct the BLAZE (not the physical blaze, the POEM blaze). So we BEGIN with the first clue now that we used stanza one to establish what IT is.
