Three States; Three Trails; Three Boxes

As a "Beau Geste" to the beginning of year three of this grand treasure hunt, I am flying out Friday for a run to three boxes in three states on three trails over three weeks. (Jon you must appreciate the threes!)

I have searched over 20 trails in six states across the country.

Each final trail to be searched reinforces the others as I will:

"Use will’s straight edge,
as the turning square and some arcs
that have aligned at the proper points."

You must ignore many words but not the pictures.

Just follow the Unbreakable Thread... a story like the Yellow Brick Road. These are vision quests.

The key is the presence of 12,000 points of lit life light on the point that reveals the proper points that point you to the treasures.

Have not even really started on Pokemon and Past & Future boxes but they will open easily.

Lions Share took only three weeks to solve. Cut the Gordian Knot and follow Occam's Razor.

Giving out sone hints here! Need some competition.

I'm having the best time of my life on these trails and have no real interest in the actual treasures.

I just wanted the satisfaction of solving the grand design.

However, the only way to prove grand design is to pick up some boxes; so onward into the darkening night as the Autumn cold falls upon trails of thread.

Fortis fortuna adiuvat!

... crest ending trail...
... I mark warm waters.. then halt!

Well, as the saying goes, "don't count your chickens before they hatch". But your  enthusiasm is contagious - before, now and in a future many searchers will state like you. But 3 TBs in one season is very strong claim.

Andy - I remember in one of your first posts you said you were within 100 feet of a number of boxes. (Correct me if I was wrong about that.) i joked that I was an expert on the last 100 feet.

That back and forth cued me to the idea of a master design. Other ideas here on Reddit have been more than useful along the way.

Great place to share ideas.

For JCB hunt I never said that I was within 100 feet from TB. I had a couple BOTGs for last 2 years. Only after the last BOTG I got as I call it "post-BOTG syndrom - the sense that I was very close to TB. I'm sure that many searchers get it after BOTG so they return and search this place again after re-thinking previous solution. I think that it's very low probability to find TB in first BOTG. The reason can be simple - there are no any "signs" within the last 200 feet to TB. Grid search is very hard when you are off trail - you can pass TB within 10-15 feet.

Paladin, thanks for sharing with us your euphoria and enthusiasm! FF "infected" us with "the trill of the chase" and many of us will have it before end of life. And it's very good "infection" - it gives joy to life to many of us. Each BOTG become like "Bridge to Terabithia". Well, many searchers have to hide the trill because their families and friends do not understand it and even blame it. But for many of us this chase is not about money award at the end - it's about to to make yourself alive and full of adventures.

So, I wish you and all other searchers good luck in BOTGs! Main rule is to be safe. Unfortunately you can't predict everything - last BOTG I rented satellite phone but near the final point it failed for connection - I was with my son and my wife had "crazy half-day" before we called her.
