As this is my one-year anniversary, I decided to go wild (!) and post a second, BOTG hunt to run simultaneously with Sixteen Little Puzzles, which is a fully armchair hunt.
To avoid confusion, please put the name of the hunt in the subject line when submitting an answer, question or comment.
Thanks and good luck!

This is a correction/ update to the rules:
I forgot to add my usual end note to the rules, that all winners must have a US address.
If someone from overseas solves the hunt and finds someone to go get the key, I cannot at this time send the prize shown overseas. If this scenario plays out, the person who retrieves the key will get both prizes shown, and the overseas solver will get an alternate prize.
Sorry for the oversight, and let me know if you have any other questions.
Good luck!
-FHH

Update: If this hunt has not been solved by Sunday, October 10, I will post my first hint.
I've had a few suggestions that were good, but incorrect ideas - and ones I never considered. I'm always amazed at the unintended directions a hunt can go!
The key is still out there, hidden under a stone in a rock wall somewhere in the US.
Good luck!

Dare to be enamored with the two falls and the seven sands. But don't believe any of them. They are all at the top of the list of false leads.

Another hint coming Sunday, October 17... unless someone solves it before then!
If it is solved before Sunday, I will throw in a bonus gift!
Good luck!

This is a little late, but I meant to include this with the above hint:
3-4-2-3-2
I hope these hints help you find what you need to solve this hunt.
Good luck!

I received a couple of questions about the hints I posted yesterday. They don't have to be used together; each of these hints stands alone.
The quote does not need the numbers and the numbers do not need the quote. I just forgot to post both initially.
I was at a family gathering and showed them the puzzle and some hints I had ready to use. These two hints are the ones they selected as the most helpful for the puzzle, so I hope they are right!
Good luck and feel free to ask questions for clarification! I will continue to post hints every Sunday until it is solved.

Today, two hints! The first has been there all along, and the second elaborates on one from last week. Here is the link to the PDF: ibb.co/QddR2Kx
The hidden key awaits!
Good Luck!
