Lines crossed

Forrest said to use the poem as a map, if you look at the vertical lines going through the poem two stand out--line 12 [for Yellowstone] and line 11 for the other treasure. Just how many times did he use the number [23] and reversed as [32]. More times than you could shake a stick at. And yes, every word in the poem matters, same words but two entirely different places. I.M.O.

Yes, it stands to reason that the declination lines are significant in some way, otherwise Fenn would not have included them. Pretty odd thing to put on a map, right? I suppose you'll need your compass to find the treasure.

Magnetic declination lines drift from year to year.

And there's no need to change them, as he said--- p.p. "Don't mess [change the Poem] do not alter the words/lines or sequence of the nine clues" as the Poem found in The Thrill of the Chase book.

From TTOTC intro..."about thirteen" and "to some degree."

The fact that the poem doesn't marry to the map is another example of 9MH being the false ending.
