FF Word of the Day: PUT and below the home of Brown

[Jenny]

The first two stanzas of Forrest Fenn's Poem are:

As I have gone alone in there
And with my treasures bold,
I can keep my secret where,
and hint of riches new and old.

Begin it where warm waters halt
And take it in the canyon down,
Not far, but too far to walk.
Put in below the home of Brown.

The phrase ‘Put in below the home of Brown’ seems to be the place many searchers think they begin BOTG. But is it?

The meaning of Put often refers to ‘putting a boat into water’. Now we’re not a fan of thinking a boat/raft is required to find the Treasure Chest. However, the use of the word PUT in the poem certainly can hint for doing so.

But there are many options on how to read Forrest’s poem, and one way is to consider the possibility that the line, 'put in below the home of Brown' does not provide instructions for what to do after taking it in the canyon down, but offers another clue for confirming 'Where Warm Waters Halt'.
Consider it this way.

A searcher would BIWWWH, TIITCD, NFBTFTW. End of sentence. The next sentence is ‘PIBTHOB’. What if that line actually refers back up to WWWH and offers a bit of confirmation for where a searcher begins instead of being ‘down the canyon’?

So to begin this journey, you would put in below the home of Brown, which is also WWWH. Maybe the hoB is not something you search for away from WWWH.

The clues still stay in consecutive order, but are just interconnective.

To continue that line of thought....and in the belief no boat is needed, I wonder if - that although you 'COULD' put in below of hoB, same place as WWWH, and float down the canyon, you COULD also drive-- and do.

And so the place a searcher begins BOTG is actually 'no place for the meek', and not the hoB.

It’s just another way or option to consider that line.

The rest of the poem is as follows:

From there it’s no place for the meek,
The end is ever drawing nigh;
There’ll be no paddle up your creek,
Just heavy loads and water high.

If you’ve been wise and found the blaze,
Look quickly down, your quest to cease,
But tarry scant with marvel gaze,
Just take the chest and go in peace.

So why is it that I must go
And leave my trove for all to seek?
The answers I already know,
I’ve done it tired, and now I’m weak.

So hear me all and listen good,
Your effort will be worth the cold.
If you are brave and in the wood
I give you title to the gold.



So there is another interpretation for Put in below the home of Brown. Not that we needed one! Lol.

We wish you the best of luck in all that you seek! Treasure the adventure!

It seems to me that forrest could just be revering PIB the canyon
The home could be a hole or up on top of the ground.
Now this might sound crazy but what if Brown is the name of the TC.
It seems like ff has a view names for the TC already. Could this be a hint that ff is giving us because he has other names for the TC.

[Jenny]

Great point. I know I had once considered the hoB to be the location of the chest-- not so much that FF called the chest Brown, like you suggest, but just that it is ultimately the hoB we need to find and the chest is there.

In the one interview, FF said (paraphrase- don't have exact quote in front of me) that if we knew the hoB, we could go straight to the chest. Seems the hoB is key for finding the chest.

That is why sometimes I think the TC is called Brown if you can go straight to the TC how would any other hob put you at the exact 10x10x6.

[mikemarcum879]

"Of." meaning part or whole ff have said the TC was full so that would make it whole."Brown." a name or place or thing TC is a thing.

Like this put in below put in to a hole
After it is sitting now the TC is sitting in it's home. "Of." a whole TC of gold.
Named Brown.

Like this put in below put in to a hole or on a shelf/ ledge.

My favorites are arsenic and aerial surveillance. I like aerial surveillance just because there’s rumors about Fenn being in the CIA. I just think it sounds cool. Just because they are my favorites does not mean I feel they have anything to do with the poem or finding the chest.

That could help.

Begin with 'arsenic' and take that theme from there.

I believe it could be below an Indian Rez (Montana Treasure State). I can imagine FF has a young boy finding a spot to watch Indian ceremony's on his belly in the tall grasses in the summers. Somewhere on the edge of the no trespassing signs.

Another idea with the theme with Norman Rockwell could be that he was in the Boy Scouts and Lodge Neckerchief order of the arrow (WWW).

"BE PREPARED"

The scouting trail that the Scout shall know
Where knightly qualities thrive and grow:
The trail of honor and truth and worth
And the strength that springs from the 
                                Good brown earth:
The trail that Scouts in their seeking blaze
Through the toughest tangie.  
the deepest maze.
Till out of Boyhood the Scout comes straight
To Manhood's splendid and high estate!

[drpepperwood]

Another thought. What if to far too walk means go around it so it's not to far to walk? What if this line in the stanza takes you to other directions in the stanza of hoB?

To Begin "it" you have to go around "it" to make the short cut to the comfortable waters where they halt below in the canyon.
