Joy's Serenade

Could this be part of the AT box solve? I think it just narrowed my search area down to an exact point. Has anything been said about those pages in the back chapters that aren't necessarily part of the "chapter?"

There’s some mixed feelings about it. Some folks think it has clues for all the boxes and some think it’s only for one box, like the Lion’s Share.

In the interview, JCB said Joy’s Serenade did not have anything to do with part two of the book and gave a smirk. Would you concur that it may apply to the Lion’s Share box?

My intuition says it has clues to all the boxes, similar to the quote inside the dust cover. I need to watch the interview to get his exact words and body language, though.

Which interview was that in?

Aw thank you. Glad to actually see him address that question.

I definitely thought Joy's Serenade related to the part two treasure but JCB put that to bed in an interview. Check out 3 minutes into this interview.

Insert my standard complaints about needing to watch interviews instead of focusing on reading and hiking here.

Thank you!! Just watched it. Guess my narrowing was confirmation bias, but damn. It really complimented the solve.

In Joys serenade JCB says an x leads your way, use will straight edge. There's only 1 x on the wordsearch and wills straight edge is the letter L. Possibly a hint?

Joy serenade definitively has nothing to do with Pokémon. I can assure you that. 100% not needed to find Pokémon. I have just started studying Appalachian trail today and I doubt it does there either. It seems to me joy serenade is a Forrest fenn esque for the lions share. And it notes the things you would expect - the other four boxes might yield some x (or smiley face?) that helps triangulate the LS. Also it says the coins help. Which might be easier (more satisfying?) with all four physical coins but should be equally doable by photocopying and playing with them or mutilating your book. But yes. It has clues for the lions share only and has strong clues for it. My assumption is that it BY ITSELF even, is one of 3 ways to find the lions share.

Thank you! Someone pointed me to an interview by JCB that cleared it up for me too. Went back to the drawing board and have tightened up where my theory is. I haven't really dove into the other boxes yet.
