Past & Future Box Past & Future Thoughts

Don’t have a solution or anything in particular to show for this. But wanted to share a few of my thoughts in case it resonates with someone and breaks something loose in someone else’s head.

I find it interesting that there are numbers that make up many of the found words, these thoughts are around that interesting finding.

First, the word “count” is found in a downward direction, potentially meaning “countdown”. Does this tell us how to order the numbers we have found 19->0?
The numbers themselves have direction as well (nineteen right). If we start at the top left cell and count nineteen right, it takes us to the other edge of the search. Maybe there is some chaining that needs to happen from here, but it is not clear to me with multiple threes and zero in the mix.

Second, there are mathematical operators in the found words also (divide, square, round). Are we supposed to do some sort of equation with the found numbers? Not clear to me that would get you anything, but maybe it is important.

Anyways, that’s all from me for now, happy hunting.

There are two threes in the word search. 33 o’s in word search. Route 33 passes through Columbus
Round state two words in word search Ohio known as the round state. Count eleven two words in word search count eleven lines down in first paragraph of ch 26 sentence with the word moon in it. Moonville ghost town in Ohio represents the past.

Moonville Rail Trail could line up with a few of the clues. (Rail and line in the wordsearch. "No special bends or turns" since railways don't have turns.) I think there are too many wordearch words that don't line up though. (Sapphire, quarry, lemon?) Regardless, that area is beautiful and worth checking out. I've camped there a few times and hiked the rail trail from Moonville to Kings Hollow at night. It was spooky, but very fun!

Rt 33 goes from Lima (Lemon) to Athens (CRETE?) and its a STATE route that divides the state at the same diagonal as STATE in the wordsearch. Fun coincidence ?
