  2. Happy Birthday from both of us! Thank you for the thrill my 78 y/o Dad are on right now in NM. Our first driving trip here from FL. We are absolutely enjoying the Marvel Gaze by day and night and enjoyed a beautiful full moonrise the other night.

  15. Happy Birthday Forrest! Have a rich, very enjoyable year!!! Hoped for a new word from you, and we got one. Thanks for the advice about trying to fit the poem into your spot. Very sound. Wow 86 years! Incredible! May you live many, man more!

  20. Happy Birthday, Forrest! May you enjoy many more happy birthday celebrations. And thank you for encouraging all of us to get out into nature!

  23. Thanks gang, for all of the good wishes. Nature has taken charge of my body, but it can’t see my mind, which is still 13. Besides, my mirror lies. I know that because all my friends all tell me I don’t look 59. The up side is that at age 86 I can use senility as an escuse.

  36. You sir are such an exceptional person. I just found out about your treasure and the book a few weeks ago. I ordered the book which was sent right away and is a treasure in itself. I have spent many hours getting to know you and Peggy through your memoir. Just really the best you are!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY,

    Love and hugs,

  53. “It’s not the years. It’s the mileage.” – Indiana Jones

    A year is how long it takes Earth to make one revolution around the sun. Earth travels 585.6 million miles along this journey. As a passenger on this planet, you have traveled 509,472,000,000 miles in your life so far (talk about too far to walk!). You once mentioned that you would have have hopped on the rocket to the moon had Buzz Aldrin called. Consider this: The edge of the solar system is a mere 9 billion miles from Earth. You blew past that mark when you were a teenager! You’re in deep space now, my friend.

    Live longer and prosper, fellow traveler.

    Happy Birthday!

    • Oops, 50,361,600,000 miles, rather. I redid the math and thought… wait, he’s not THAT old!

      Consider the extra 784 years my birthday gift 🙂

  64. Happy Birthday, Forrest!! Have a great day and wishing you the very best in the year ahead! Can’t thank you enough for the adventure you’ve invited us all to be part of. You’ve encouraged us to not let life pass us by, and spurred on more learning about art, geography, geology, history of the west, etc than you may have even imagined! You’re a fine educator…you’ve made learning fun!

    Wishing you many more birthdays to celebrate!

  67. Thanks again to all the HOD gang. This day has been a long time coming. I’m a little slow so it took me 86 years to get here. f

  95. Dear Forrest,
    It takes a special person to give hope, wipe tears, and keep faith alive.
    You gave me a little ray of sunshine during a time of trouble.
    You were there for me, as I said “goodbye” to my Mom, and I can never thank you enough.
    Milagros DO bring comfort.
    You will always be my Milagro.
    Hope your birthday was as special as you are, my friend.
    With Loving respect,
    Donna

  102. escuse – es cuse – Cuse is slang for Syracuse. (Another New York reference?) Syracuse is named for Syrakousa, Sicily. Syrakousa is known for Cyane or Kyane, the nympth of the spring. Or another meaning for daughter of the river god Anapos.

    Reply ↓

      • pdenver, I’ve never been to N.Y. but my daughter keeps talking about moving to NYC, so maybe one day…Anyway, according to my Google search for definition of ‘cuse’ that’s what came up…lol. I don’t really have any objective when I search. I just flow with whatever floats downstream.

    • I used to live there, andwear an old gold coin/pin for good luck to this day when I need it. There’s biga chariot on the front and her and Zeus are behind it. At least it oddly appears that way..just random knowledge, don’t know the history behind it. I sent Dal a pic awhile back and I think he said it was a Dodrakem or a Tetradrackem or something like that I forget. (sure I’m butchering the word)

  103. Ovid, Metamorphoses of Persephone …”Cyane, the most renowned of all the Nympae Sicilide who gave her pool its name. Out of her waters midst she rose waist high…” don’t force the poem…hmmm.

      • The author of this article used Hopi words when referring to everything except the Ancients — the correct term for Hopi Ancestors is Hisatsinom not Anazazi .. the Hopi and the Tewa and the Zuni and all other Pueblo Nations in the Southwest despise the use of Anazazi when referring to the Ancients .. you might want to remember that if you ever visit a non-Navajo anywhere near the Four Corners ..

  107. A Recipe gift for “New Mexico Treasures Pimiento Cheese Sandwiches”
    I started off with shredded sharp cheddar cheese, added hatch green chilis, then red pimientos, mayo, and piñon nuts, you can vary the amounts, serve it on Indian Fry Bread, 12 grain bread or toast. Delicious for an afternoon of treasure burying or hunting! Don’t forget the flashlight!
