Participation from afar
I started my obsession this week, I’ve been listening and reading and searching non stop.I found a solution but I’ll never be able to go and have BOTG, I just started my family. Figured I’d share my solution and see what everyone thinks, just want to be a part of the fun. All criticism welcome! So glad to hear the cabin survived today from Justin!
Can you find what lives in time?—Gracies grail, “somehow catch time in a net of collected things”- Crystal park
Flowing through each measured rhyme— Crystal park “learn to hear and understand the rhythm of the land”
Wisdom waits in shadowed sight—in the morning wisdom is in the shadow of pioneer and comet mountain, meaning treasure is on cardinal east of comet mountain.
As hope surges clear and bright—as the sunrises we are filled with the hope and anticipation of hunting for treasure, and the west side is illuminated is being illuminated, you can begin your trek to the east.
Waters silent flight-GH creek
Round the bend and past the hole— literally around the bend of private property and comet mountain which is actually the hole from TT and the picture in the book. Can also use the 114 to show a window or “vantage point (from grandpa fitzwallace memoir) that can see the treasure.
I wait for you to cast your pole— time to use compass (both of them, actual and metaphorical) and other tools instead of just following directions. A shift from Fenn treasure poem to Justin treasure poem strategy. The “I” to me is the treasure speaking to us. I like this idea as it keeps the solve simple like thrill of the chase, but this half has a little more flair and Justin’s personal touch on an Indiana Jones kind of solve.
In ursa east his realm awaits— “his” being grandpa fitzwater. Ursa being Polaris, and this statement hints and is an introduction part to the metaphorical compass solve of the solution, and his (grandpa fitzwater) realm is to the east of his point.
His bride stands guard at ancient gates- the bride is the metaphorical compass and or sawtooth lake. the ancient gates are comet and saddleback mountain.
Her foot of three at twenty degree— three lakes there, where 20 degrees is found between their own foots, and they are the feet of sawtooth lake. You should be standing at the location there this works using the protractor.
Return her face to find the place-time to use metaphorical compass, BOTG required from here on. Technical clue find “the key to one direction lies in another”, the rest of the poem is using the metaphorical compass solve.
That being said. I like elk horn creek trail for easy access point with injured tibia. I left out my solve for the metaphorical compass, the website has useful information since it was updated. With positions for grandpa, dad, Tucker, and Brandon.
Any thoughts?? I’d love to participate in the hunt from afar! This solve feels simple, and points to a solution that can be solved in several different ways. Hope everyone is having a blast. If this leads you to the treasure throw me a bone lol and make a treasure to hide again!
