Thanks Zaphod73491, but that area is a point in route to the final destination, its not an area that should be searched. The clues are indeed landmarks along the map, it gets more specific as you go, with heavy loads and water high being exactly where it is within the wood. I will check it out, if I find nothing I will share my take on the clues in an effort to help the bigger collective. The way I am looking at the clues takes me to an exact spot, no searching necessary. The clues takes me to the end of the 12ft that ends up in a crack in the hill with a small water fall. Clue - heavy loads and water high is a culvert, that's the exact purpose of a culvert (you drive over it and flood waters pass through it) . It also makes sense with "as i have gone alone in there". I don't think I gave away the farm yet, but that's all I can give for now.

Heavey loads and water high to me is the creek.If you have a creek coming down from a moutain then you would have heavy loads with water high in the mountains

Didn't Finn state the clues would take you to the treasure? He said (I believe) a person could find it by looking at Google maps and interpreting the clues correctly. I'm not sure an underground creek would be part of the search. But, then again, I am not holding the treasure, so anything is possible.

Hi DolfSeal: a culvert is a manmade structure, and since I believe none of the clues are associated with manmade structures, it would be a solution-killer for me. But I know others prefer to maintain an open mind as to whether one or more clues could involve a manmade structure. That said, I think it's unlikely your culvert will exist a millennium from now -- maybe not even a century from now.

I hope we are around top see the end result of this awesome hunt. I don't think culverts collapse that easily, and I'm not sure "structure" includes something underground, but again, anything is possible. I have learned everyone comes at this from a different mindset and a different knowledge base. All we can do is apply what we know. I'm heading out tomorrow to have a look, if i come up empty, i will share my current thoughts. I have not seen anyone post my thoughts on the "Blaze", so it might help someone reach the end of the rainbow.

A new thought - high water could be a high water mark in the river, its usually visible most of the year. Heavy loads, let's just say trains carry the heaviest loads.

ironwill wrote … I would be very disappointed with FF if WWWH refers to anything related to temperature. He has stressed using our imagination. I can't think of any WWWH interpretation being more UNimaginative than "... a thermal item or feature ...". Then you need to imagine harder...IMO

Then you need to imagine harder...IMO So you have discovered a thermal solution that no one else has thought of. Great. Now go retrieve the chest. That's clue 1. It gets easier until you arrive at the final clue. That...requires faith, IMO. Oh...and I would not say that "no one else" has thought of it. But I would expect not many.

Well … since you've solved all nine clues, exercise that faith and … go retrieve the chest. I don't believe I've solved all nine....just 8. Given your replies, you don't realize my understanding of the final clue. I will say that the "faith" has to be BOTG IMO. I told a friend that I would end this all... last Summer. Life and finances got in my way. That made a liar out of my friend. I will never make that mistake again. And Forrest... if you're listening... I STILL don't know what page 83 says. Sorry, but I can't see it.

Nevertheless, your final clue is dependent on your claim that WWWH relates to some thermal feature. Again to repeat, a thermal interpretation would, in my opinion, contradict Forrest's ongoing advice for searchers to use their imaginations, because a thermal interpretation is so common, so banal, so unimaginative. But I could be wrong. Maybe Forrest Fenn really isn't very imaginative. Oh ironwill ... you've been in this treasure hunt for a long time. You surely must know how familiar, how trite, how banal and hackneyed that reason sounds. You know this or that about some clue or clues or the location, for sure, but you haven't retrieved the chest because stuff got in your way. I wish I had a dime for every person who has posted similar failure rationales. You imply that you and Forrest are buddy-buddy? That right there, alone, solidifies my skepticism. But I'll let you have the last word. I apologize for taking up so much of your time and intellectual prowess. Have a Super day.

Hi Drifter: count me among those that believes WWWH has a thermal feature connection. It's just that most searchers stare at maps and get fixated on one because they think that nearby features match later clues, and thus they've "chosen" correctly. The correct WWWH in my opinion stands on its own and requires no later clues for selection. Rather, the solutions to later clues serve to "confirm" the standalone WWWH revelation was the correct one.

Iron Will- at the risk of being banal and trite... many people think there is a thermal connection. No need to apologize for anything.

I simply ended it with Drifter because he started becoming more aggressively mocking with his replies.

Agreed thermal. Sad thing is I feel about as certain as possible that I found the blaze but it was a relatively large geographic feature and I had to look up to see it from where the poem takes me.
So I feel like there is one more clue that I'm just not catching to bring me to the exact spot.
So frustrating
