Two Trips?

[mdavis19]

I've seen it written that Forrest took two trips to hide the treasure. Is this something he actually said somewhere? Or is it just another unfounded rumor?

I read thats what he did but I cant remember where

I've wondered that very same thing. I don't think he ever stated that he made two trips, but he has made remarks about it being somewhere an old guy could carry 42 lbs. Would be interested if there is a quote to the contrary somewhere.

PS I have trouble carrying 40 lb bags of salt very far.

It is just a rumor.There are alot of them with this hunt.Some people make it their habit to spread rumor and get subtle assistants.

They create their own reality.

And others make believe with them.

If he did do 2 trips,I would say he buried a bell on one trip and hid the chest on the other.

So if you find a bell don't forget to ring it,ding a ling.

I'll let you all know if I need 2 trips to retrieve it..

@ knowitall,

I thought you would have done a little better research considering your name.

Maybe that’s why a 79 year old man had to make two trips to hide the treasure.</i> f

Hi, Goofy. I remember FF saying that in an interview also. Might have been with Lorene Mills, but I'm not sure. I do recall wondering if he meant 2 trips from car-to-treasure & back twice or if he meant from home-to-treasure twice, maybe on different days. It wasn't really clear to me. Do we know which is true without assuming?

Maybe you just did not read the maybe,just maybe.

C’mon knowitall……..he said “maybe that’s why”. So maybe that is why or maybe it’s not why……… “<i>a 79 year old man had to make two trips to hide the treasure</i>”.



Fact according to Fenn……. <i>a 79 year old man had to make two trips to hide the treasure</i>.



Seems like a simple statement to me. You can certainly choose not to believe him, but that is what he said.
