The Hills are Live with the Sound of Music

One of my solves is music based. Another rabbit hole. If you’re following this angle (ahem) maybe this could add value:

  • do: dolor, donde
  • re: aprende, derecho
  • mi: mirar, comimos
  • fa: None
  • so: sombra
  • la: helado, langostas, dale la, la vuelta,
  • ti: última, vista

In the context of musical notes, syllables from the poem may correspond to the following notes in the solfège (do-re-mi) system. The Solfège system was developed to help singers sight-read notes.

  • Do corresponds to C
  • Re corresponds to D
  • Mi corresponds to E
  • Fa corresponds to F
  • So corresponds to G
  • La corresponds to A
  • Si corresponds to B

In the movie "The Goonies," the characters encounter an organ made of bones that they must play to unlock a path to the treasure. The notes they play on the bone organ are essential to their success.

The notes form a complete diatonic scale in the key of C major (or A minor if considering the relative minor scale).

Given the connection to "The Goonies" and the notes they play, we can draw parallels to the poem's structure and the idea of playing specific notes to unlock a path or reveal a clue. Here's how the notes from "The Goonies" might influence our interpretation:

The poem might be suggesting a sequential progression of notes or actions to be taken, similar to playing the notes in order on the bone organ.

The notes A, B, C, D, E, F, G might be embedded within the poem's lines, suggesting a musical interpretation that guides the reader.

Words in the poem that correspond to musical notes (Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si) might indicate specific steps or actions to follow, akin to how the Goonies had to play the correct notes.

Considering the influence of "The Goonies" and the notes they played, the poem may be hinting at a sequence of actions or steps that align with musical notes. The presence of musical terms and references in the poem suggests a similar puzzle-like approach, where interpreting the poem through a musical lens can reveal the hidden message or path to follow.

On a side note—which has been mentioned by others—SATB makes up a choir. The Bonneville Shoreline Trail is just missing the A. Which we have possibly been told to look for through the word Atajo.

1776 - Adams anyone?

It is interesting that power-lines often look like bars for notes as well as lines of streets.

I have two trails that fit with some of the clues. But can’t get the distance to the tie out 😅

Good luck out there!
