MAWMAN- Have you had time to review my posts? Any thoughts? I too think of this from time to time but haven’t been able to ascertain a “16” near the shore that “stands the test of time” that would align with the big rock.
Perhaps I am way off base… and stuck.
5/25/22- Hint 11: Riddle A: Something in the structure of both riddles can help coincidentally, with the final locating process.
MY THOUGHTS: double rhymes per stanza & “sixteen” fill in the blanks. If you double 16 you get the 32, quite possibly on the right track that 16 is what we need to find. What can stand the “test of time”?5/21/23- Hint 12: Riddle A: Best = more convenient for your final paces towards the alignment object.
MY THOUGHTS: A “16” near the shoreline, thus why we thought the picture (see old lost bounty site) is where we should start the paces.Haven’t been back to look in over a year, feel like clues still point me in the same direction.
I guess it is back to the solve then (just read your explanation).
We are at Tolovana Reacreation Center, which is a park/rest area many paces down from Haystack Rock (main thing). There is a sign that has “marker” 16 on it and at the beach entrance is another 16, which you could align with the main thing and do the 44 paces.
I was contemplating going to the beach again today, but it is a 3 hr drive, one way.
The reason for my hesitation is the clue that states one of the two things ”mark shall stand the test of time”. As stated before, I can understand how the solve might fit, but it would be true about both things, not just one, and for the same reason. The best one to count the paces from is obvious, as it will put you squarely on the open shore, whereas the other will not.
Just feeling a bit blue not knowing whether to stay home and rest or go out digging…
So… It was a productive day; at least we “think” so 🙂
We were able to eliminate several places we wanted to check
Our last area showed significant promise… two things that add to 32, with best option being obvious, and answered my earlier question about the “main thing(s)”. We were able to get a couple quick digs in before we needed to leave, but need to refine the 44 paces and alignment. No grass, but there were rocks in the sand…
Definitely warrents a closer look LOL
Three hour drive and overnight stay for another look for the “two things”. No luck in the evening search and we leave early today. Did locate a few places that could be the “proper rest”, one more promising than the others but the “32” is still elusive.
Are you willing to verify whether or not the “main thing” (referenced in the riddle twice)
is in fact same/not same thing?
