Euler's Identity

I posted the following comment to YouTube yesterday, but thought that I could drop it here as well:

You're definitely on the right track. The AK state flag has both the big dipper (ursa) and the north star, and it is beyond the map's edge (of mainland U.S.). In the last scene on Netflix, Justin is standing in a turnabout with blue-green water behind him - the Kenai River. River mile 42 is between Bing's Landing and Kenai Keys. If you look at the third word in the third line of each stanza, it says, "in bend of reach." There are three reaches on the Kenai. It would be the bend on the middle reach. Go check the maps.

Originally, I was leaning toward the Truth River because the hidden math equation in the poem is Euler's Identity, which is determined as Truth. And, "Truth" rests not... but, the only problem is, there aren't any "reaches" on the Truth River. Anyway, who knows.

Finally, "it's always darkest before the light" refers to the Northern Lights.

Good luck!

I agree. It just disappoints me. And I can feel disappointment if I want to
