Forrest had written about 9 Mile Hole in his book TTOTC and now it has come out that he also wrote about it in a binder which any visitor could have viewed at any time while visiting him. He allowed Dal Neitzel to photograph the binder in 2019 and stated he could do what he liked with it, including sharing it with the search community. He had previously stated he never wrote about the place anywhere so it does not make sense that 9 mile hole is the place, as he wrote about it and never tried to hide it.
