Hopefully, this link will show "everything" from the "view" tab.
The river changes name right here on many maps.
It looks like the river forms One Omega.
The perimeter of the Green Flood Plain looks like a nearly concentric Second Omega.\
This location is within a few hundred yard of the Madison Junction camping and picnic area.
For reference see the previous post.
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.
Are these facts?
a. Forrest said that nobody gave him the correct solution for HOB.
b. Forrest said "Brown" was not a reference to trout.

This comes as a recollection, based on the importance Each of these guys seemed to place on this.
If someone has the verbatim quotes available to share here, that would be great. From this distance I sometimes miss the bullseye but still get close to the target.
Near the end, Dal and Forrest had a pleasant but serious exchange, after which Forrest told Dal it was okay to post this exchange on Dal's blog.
Dal sent him his route, and Forrest replied that Dal had definitely passed within a particular number of hundreds of yards of the Treasure Chest.
Dal went on to provide a very detailed account of his route. From ( not sure of this exact point) to Forrest in Santa Fe and returned on a different route.
After receiving Dal's info, I think Forrest told him he had been within ?500? yards of the chest.
If we could put Dal's route on a good map perhaps we could eliminate some of our solves by excluding those which fell beyond this restriction.
It would be easier for me , and prolly many others, to keep up with the banter about this SB or that SB
if these exchanges included either/or both links to an active link, or a cut and paste containing what is being referenced.
As we stand now, it just feels like a bunch of 'inside baseball.'
Into the Mystic...
New and Old...
Forrest loved our country...
Honored our ancestors...
Protected the next generation...
In my mind, I think of Forrest as a Cultural Artist of the American School.
Artists leave their marks in a vast array of media; his memoir recognizes some of the greats.
Forrest left his mark as well. And as he pointed out, noone is perfect.
Today I listened (good) to a song from my youth which still offers me vitality in my older years.
It made me happy and sad; and I entered my realm of memories in a special way.
As I have gone alone in there, as often happens, I remember a special man.
I believe that it is a well accepted idea that an artist, or every person really, experiences moments of inspiration. Even that these inspirations flow from us, they may leap ahead of us.
A phrase I like is this: "It is like taking a breath from the future."

"It was under a canopy of stars in the lush, forested vegetation of the Rocky Mountains and had not moved from the spot where I hid it more than 10 years ago. I do not know the person who found it, but the poem in my book led him to the precise spot. I congratulate the thousands of people who participated in the search and hope they will continue to be drawn by the promise of other discoveries. So the search is over. Look for more information and photos in the coming days."^([52])
^(Forrest posted this. It can still be found on Wikipedia.)
^(At least two issues come to mind:)
^(Jack has said he had to grid search for days to find the chest. That strongly contradicts 'the... poem led him to the PRECISE spot'.)
^(Where in this quote is Forrest instructing to keep the location secret?:)
^(')Look for more information and photos in the coming days.' Doesn't sound like a directive to keep things secret.
Also from wikipedia: 'In attempting to honor what he perceives to be Fenn's wishes after his death in September 2020, he has refused to reveal the location of the treasure.'
How, when, where and why did Jack perceive this to be Forrest's wishes. Or was it merely specifically the Fenn's wishes. Multiple wishes from the "FENN" family not specifically Forrest's wish.
This is not a post commenting about the merits or particulars of the New/Extended chase.
TLDR most of its details, including these recent postings.
My view is simple. 'The Thrill of the Chase' saga is unfinished.
I find that nothing new is engaging until we have an honest public accounting of how the first endeavor concluded.
Like a practical banker, I won't give a fresh investment (of my time) on this project until the first mortgage has been satisfied.
Sorry, but the account is overdrawn.
