How many chapters in the book do YOU think are clue bearing? 4? 5? 7? 9? More? Less?

If I’m remembering correctly, I’ve heard Posey refer to the checkpoint as a checksum as well, and I’m wondering if the term is interchangeable to him or if they’re really two different things. (just seeking people‘s opinions)

So I guess my real question is, can we consider it as having found the checkpoint if we figured out the thing/method that lets you confirm beyond any doubt that your data point for a clue is 100% correct? So you may only have a portion of the puzzle solved and, but you know the exact process, the framework and you know how to confirm your outputs are accurate and lead to a specific location. Would that also be considered finding the checkpoint or do we consider the checksum a different thing?

I swear every time I get in my car I feel like I’m just doing a trust fall backwards hoping she catches me. Am I the only one?

In the Trailside Troubles it says 

“Sawtooth wasn’t just any mountain lake. In 1957, a converted Navy torpedo bomber, repurposed for spraying pesticides against pine beetles, had stalled and crashed into these waters”

In his grandfathers book it says and per my research online they actually went to spray for spruce budworms….

What’s up with that!?

You said there are multiple ways to solve the hunt. Do they all involve the checkpoint?
