Hi Ralph: Pi has been relevant to my last 3 solutions, and will play an even bigger part in my next one assuming I can ever complete the armchair, correct (not general) solution to within several steps of the treasure).

Have you found the tangent? It's an anagram of a location in one of the 4 states |

Shark: no, afraid I haven't. I'm focused on a very tiny geographic area (relative to the whole of the Rockies), and don't see a good geographic connection to tangents or "the tangent."

Hmmm roasted pinyon nuts... could be purchased at an amusement park or zoo. Also note he does not say "wildlife", he says "animals"

Lots of 'human trails' around those places..... and Forrest has specifically stated the treasure chest is not hidden any where near one of those..... So I doubt Forrest's statement about pinon nuts hinted towards such.....
Interesting about 'animals'..... lots of ranches around.....

Pinyon was a misspeak. He never wrote it (when he would have had time to compose a response). The ones latching onto this verbal hiccup are those predisposed to CO or NM, which I suspect is over 50% of searchers in spite of acreage considerations. Why then, was he even thinking about pinyons when asked about his treasure location? That would be like asking about my house and I mentioned a garage. Then later saying I misspoke and didn't mean a garage (because I don't have one) and saying I meant to say driveway which I already described the first time. I believe the misspeak excuse is highly unlikely because thinking about the location brought pinyons to mind. (And I'm not saying that because my search state is CO or NM, I've started some pretty good solves in MO WY as well) 'Why then, was he even thinking about pinyons when asked about his treasure location?'
That is very curious indeed! Especially given that when he wrote prior, about 'treasures' and 'mountains', the smell of pinyon was associated with his memories.
"The mountains are not sleeping; they are alive with the healing smells of pine needles and pinon pollen and juniper berries. The shades of fall are yellow with blooming chamisa shrubbery, and the golden glow of rabbit brush can be intoxicating. The Indian paintbrushes are clustered around for little reason other than to display nature’s ruby flush of color."...Forrest Fenn (Treasures Galore - 1/1/11)

"... I share the following post from Forrest (Forrest Fire) on 2/5/2015 @ 11:22 am at Dal's blog under the topic "Forrest LIVE on HuffPost": "Halogetter, I just watched that New Mexico Tourism video again and must say that I didn't say what I was thinking. You cannot smell a pinon nut, but those who pick them know that in doing so you get pine pitch all over your hands, and pine pitch smells about the same no matter what kind of pine tree you are talking about. Looking back I think I wanted to say I could smell pine needles, not pinon nuts. Sorry I kicked a hornet's nest with that comment. There is no clue there. Incidentally, when I get pine pitch on my hands I rub butter on the spots and that solves the problem. Of course then I have trouble getting the butter off. f"
Link: dalneitzel.com/2015/02/03/huffpost/#comment-73812Pine pitch is pine tar. Forrest adds butter to the tar. But tarry...
"...on the spots and that solves the problem."
