Where the heck are your shoes Forrest?!

[tralou2you]

Has anyone else noticed that Forrest comments that he had no shoes on in many of the stories in TTOTC?

What's that about?

I had an Uncle Minus who died 40-years ago, who never wore shoes... it was common back then... especially in the summer... but Uncle Minus went HUNTING in the BRAIRS & SNOW through the woods...



Personally I am too much of a "TENDERFOOT" to go HUNTING in the BRAIRS & SNOW through the woods...

I thought Shoemaker, might be a good place look, and it looks like it might be covered by the map in TFTW.

@ Steph, Good guess!

It's on the Santa Fe trail, between Las Vegas and Wagon Mound, near Valmora, nm.

Near West Yellowstone or New Mexico... I think these are the only 2 logical places. Its a needle in a haystack after you choose your site. Even New Mexico, I don't see enough reference or clues in the book that point there to a specific location.. I could be wrong, or we could ALL be wrong! LOL!

Turkey??

glock, I think you are right. Closer to Yellowstone than Santa Fe, but only because he talks about places that are near there more than anything else. He doesn't talk or write about the place exactly, because that would not be a hint or clue, it would be "directions". And I think the only "directions" are in the poem.



Hints and Clues abound however.
