Stanza 4 Location Theories

Justin said the first ‘actionable clue’ is ‘As hope surges, clear and bright‘. He also said it is walking distance from ‘walk near water’s silent flight to past the Hole’. It’s assumed you are walking then at this point in the poem and that BOTG is needed to find ‘double arcs on granite bold’.

Justin has also said a few things about the Checkpoint – like you at least halfway through the poem when you find the checkpoint and that you find something along the way to give you 0% doubt that you are trending in the right direction. Is finding the ‘double arcs’ the checkpoint?
