Day 1007

[jan_v60]

It is a count up not a count down clock.

I did not promise fun and epicness, that was Shiloh.

So, if it is a count up clock, does that also mean you don’t have any idea of the date on which the count up clock will stop?

Correct

So your closing sentence “Be patient searchers” was not intended to give us hope on a real closure based upon facts or “sources” you know? If not, why then should we be patient?

It is sarcasm. It is what we have been to,d to do. Be patient. For over 1000 days.

It's simple. Just be patient while you search.

You will be amazed at what you can find when you are patient. Possibly some understanding

Emphasis on "suggesting," since it is being elevated to high importance by a searcher whose solution depends on "rainbow" being important if not crucial to the poem's solution. But what if it ain't?

The poem makes no mention of rainbows, and Forrest said many times that you didn't need his book(s) to solve his poem, so that would be a tremendous piece of missing information if "rainbow" was any kind of critical clue. Furthermore, Forrest suggested to one set of would-be treasure hunters (who were fixated on rainbows) that they shouldn't force-fit their aberrant thoughts into the solution.

Zapster Quite true, as you say the poem does not mention rainbows, however the finite lead up to it does. Why does he mention "my rainbow" when he could just have said 'the rainbow'.
Somehow this rainbow was personal to him, why? Why does he end the line: "I can keep my secret where" when 'where' is a question but has no ? mark.? He uses one in line 2 of Stanza 5.
What if 'rainbow' was a word that was key? Whereby you had to investigate it to discover the means he discovered as to how to apply it to the poem which follows, which could suggest the angles of the two colors of RED and BLUE. If you mix Red and Blue you get VIOLET, the end color of the rainbow. Also when speaking of color Red is a HOT color whereas Blue is known as a COLD one.
Therefore of the angles related to Red as 42 degrees and Blue as 40 degrees to me suggest that when line 2 in Stanza 6 says: "Your effort will be worth the. COLD" I chose the Blue one.
Imagining this the angle of 40 degrees could project you into the map to locate 'warm waters', that elusive first clue which searchers are still just map scanning and guessing.
I think that Fenn saw how he could relate these numbers and colors to the temperature of water, where if Blue was projected into the correct map and met with a place meaning Red then 'WARM' would be created. Therefore being a mix of the two 'WARM' would become 41 degrees, a number which seems relevant to the puzzle itself.
Given the two mysterious OMEGAS as possibly representing the two ends of the Rainbow I set about applying the simple substitution cipher of letters to number in the alphabet where the word RAINBOW becomes 82. Divided by 2 gives the number 41 relating to 'warm waters', and to prove the belief I applied the cipher to OMEGA also and it added up to 41. Proof that the cipher does work.
I did not contrive this to happen the cipher of letters to number do that.. If things begin to connect like this they were intended to, and to me this is the puzzle beginning to unfold itself. It is easy for you to replicate this should you wish to.

Rainbows don't have two ends. Rainbows are full circles. All of your thoughts and ideas go against all the advice f dished out during the Chase. He tried his best to help, but he secretly knew that human nature would get in the way of You actually listening.

Rainbows are circles if you observe them from space. But with our two feet on the ground they seem like 180 degrees or pi radians.
Forrest now can be very high in the sky but certainly was with both feet on the ground, during his life and running his gallery.

How would you know if a hospital's information technology was brain dead? Are you a keen scuba diver?

Hear me all After all the work I have put in do you honestly believe I haven't encountered that fact? If you really do fully read my posts then you should know that I included that fact long, ago. The rainbow has been my belief since day 1, Why do you think I am posting circles, my solution leads to a circle on the map. You are not telling me anything new here. If you cannot follow all that I post that is fine by me, all I am trying to do in my posts is to point searchers to alternative methods of approaching the puzzle. Every treasure hunt puzzle I have worked upon has a mechanism hidden in it that eventually provides the means to solve it. The rainbow appears to work and gives results IMO. I follow results that seem to connect.

To quote Forrest: "Only a few are in tight focus with a word that is KEY" He is not going to tell you what that word is, you have to discover it for yourself and apply it to see if it produces results, it's no big deal. From what I have discovered it does, that is all. A question for you, what do you see placed precisely East to West in the first found photo of the chest, it is below the stick?

I think I've developed color anxiety over all of these linear, trippy rainbows. Color anxiety, yeah.

Your ideas are whack. F told us from early on that droves of searchers kept arriving at the spot but were too preoccupied to notice the seriously obvious object at the spot. Those searchers used a teensy bit of logic and were able to deduce and reduce the search area down the Yellowstone area without having to resort to wild ideas.

The word that is key is found in the poem. It is "you".

Hey hear,
Please provide the Forrest quote for, "F told us from early on that droves of searchers kept arriving at the spot but were too preoccupied to notice the seriously obvious object at the spot."

It will help clear things up.....maybe.....Cheers.

When Forrest said you needed "the poem", I don't believe he meant the generic poem. I think he meant the resource page on the Santa Fe Trading website that said "The poem" on it. The specific page mentioned "rainbow" and some other things that I think was very important in finding the blaze. Just my opinion. It's probably correct, though. haha
