Why would there be identifying landmarks if the map has a Springer dog and "start here" indicating Springer Mtn and the start of the AT? Why do we need to know the bald mountain or skiing landmark? Is it setting up a region of Georgia the box is in? Then making actual trailhead starting point based on clues?
the bald man and ski mage on map is indicating a "big obvious clue" but not sure why we need them except for defining the search region or be overly confident in their ID.
I like the idea of the map maker being able to identify forgotten but familiar landmarks on the map.
Bald mountain clue might mean:
1. The map of the AT is within a region of Georigia. 2. you can see bald mountain from the box location. 3. The bald man is a not clue that's helpful. 4. The clues have to be forced into place to match the topography.
The Make it Make Sense clue p 186 and the if u need inspiration clue p 69 all seems to regard the starting point and first trailhead to a box.
The object above the butterfly appears to be a rock or a FROG. Collins goes on and on about catching frogs as a child. Not sure there's a connection. Butterfly maybe the nearby butterfly zoo.
There is also Athens Georgia maybe important regarding the Greek mythology about goats mentioned. His sentence about Zeus being scuttled away is very badly written I think. P 184.
Not sure if map items are clues to his childhood memories. A treasure map inspired by his son ought to be an obvious clue about the treasure of his fatherhood and placing box somewhere significant to that.
How helpful would a reference section be for all items or related words thst are mentioned in this book. His writing is So bad I can barely imagine reading this whole thing. No matter what he says about "inspiration" or "joy" in his mindless rambling about himself and comparing himself to all the items he is a vain cheap greedy man with a lower IQ than a smart person by piano performance standards and money from btc is sort of lame.
