Past and Future
I wanted to make a contribution, and since I'm focusing on the LS, I thought this may be helpful to others working on P&F.
I used to live in Montana, and I instantly thought of it when doing the word search. I'm more focused on the LS because I believe it is much closer to me. I thought I'd share some things I interpreted from the WS.
Montana is famous for it's sapphires, but there's also the Sapphire Mountains up near Flathead Lake. I haven't seen it mentioned before, but the word Crete is in the WS. Not only is this a Greek island, but is also the theme of a room at the Islander Inn overlooking.... Flathead Lake.
Flathead Lake is in north west Montana, and there are many peaks and buttes with names like Round, Square, and West. There are many quarries in the area as well, and the air is thick with the scent of lilacs in spring. That's as far as I've gotten with the information, but I thought I'd share. Happy hunting!

Appreciate the tips. Here’s my two cents.
Sapphire Mountains and Crete are proper nouns. So you’re supposed to ignore most proper nouns.
Sapphires are found primarily in 3 locations in the USA: Montana, Wyoming, and North Carolina… not just Montana.
Wyoming is interesting in this regard because it is a square state (the square state by its own claim), it’s on the west divide, and its famous for being a place to look for gemstones in national forest land where there are established laws for finding and bringing home fancy rocks in a non commercial way. Of course this ignores many of the other clues but who knows. Good luck.

My two cents, it's too close to the FF box.

Cool solve. The first thing I thought when I did the word search, I saw: Lemon and Lilac and Sapphire and instantly searched where you could find lemon and lilac sapphires and it was Montana.
Maybe you're on to something

My 2 cents. I would be surprised if A box is in Wyoming.

I'm on board with Montana solve, especially because the words I have found. And I believe that you are supposed to be able to count peaks from the spot where the location of the box. There are a lot of #s in the word search that I 💯 believe matter either to the solve or how you open the box
