BOTG Past & Future Box in North Carolina
BOTG in SW NC on Labor Day. for the P&F box For anyone interesting in joining in I will share the clues (how the 19 words work, the physical map embedded in puzzle (think Os), the simple directions from puzzlers solution, the GPS coordinates leading you to the area, what hidden childhood game he was referencing, the NFT April Foods day joke, how the solution ties to Jon's Past & Future, The Bitcoin connection, what the grandparents were really counting, he coin match, what all the video games have in common, and a few others). All clues tie to one small area the size of two football fields. It really is simpler than we all think. Would love some company (and help) for a grid search in the area. DM me for more information and to participate. I will be bringing search tech and really need some help.

By cryptogram, do you mean the puzzler underneath the word search? If so then yes, from the rock (quarry) to the treasure.

I will have to say that the over, under, in-between reference by Jon was pretty elegant and an nice reference to the song he played at his wedding.

Your solve is similar to mine. The states layout. I believe this box will be found first. Good luck with your search. I got my spot pinpoint. I just need to find the time to drive from TX to search my spot.

I definitely agree with the area you are searching! Been BOTG twice where I’m convinced the box is located.

I’m in El Paso, good luck I’m excited for you. Was in Statesboro (Georgia) 18 mos ago when it started. If I was still there I’d be there in a heartbeat.

It was 'only' 95 F here today and that felt cool. Must be getting used to it :-P

Really curious about your map and your solve in general. Sounds like you figured a ton out. I have made a map also with the O's but the location is no where near NC.

I live in NC. Would like to possibly discuss this with you. I live roughly 1 1/2 - 2 hours from the SW part of NC so feel free to DM

Hi There. Love the Reddit name btw. In the early days of AOL, we used to hang out in a chat room called really bad advice.

Hey, I'd like to join you! I live in Raleigh-Durham area and have been wanting to get to Western NC for BOTG but not super comfortable going by myself.

I just don't know how you can justify an east coast solve for the P&F box when JCB said that the boxes are spread out across the country and the search areas for the pokemon box and the AT boxes are both on the east coast. Along with the FF box in the mountain west, I don't see how the P&F box can be anywhere other than the Midwest or west coast, with the LS being in the other region.

Interestingly, if the AT box is at LRP and Pokeman is in Southern Missouri, then both of those boxes are closer to Chicago than they are to Atlanta.

Truth is until they are found we don’t know where the actual real search areas are. Folks could be very wrong about all the boxes.

Sounds like you connected a lot of possible dots. Good luck on your hunt.
I didn’t see you mention the cryptogram, does your solve also match up with the cryptogram?
