OMG I got it..."If you are in the right spot something you probably havent thought about should be obvious to you"...apparent - a parent Forrest (heart) Peggy carved on something  Interesting that he used "in" the right spot not "at" the right spot |

FG - your mention of "worth the cold" makes me think perhaps we have been looking in the wrong season.
Maybe this is about Winter? And the snow. And Christmas.
Just a thot.

There are a number references to child/son/daughter/kid that can be found in the poem.
Probably the most obvious is in the line:
So hear me all and listen good
This reminds me of the 'Oyez/hear ye' shout of the old town criers. A town crier was also called a "bellman'. A synonym of a bellman is a 'page' which in Latin is 'puer' which can also mean 'son/child'.

The blaze is just another landmark on the nine clue tour, and should already have been found. Once we have found the blaze, we look quickly down; and what we find is an area where the chest is at. But, before we find the chest we note the final clue (which is not the blaze), within the area where the chest is hidden; this final clue allows us to be within 12 feet of the chest and therefore unlikely not to find it. The final clue cannot be seen in an overhead view, owing to >>> trees. That, in my opinion, is what we are looking for. Referencing Forrest's quote is another issue. Kk quoted Forrest as follows: This "something" is not a clue. It is the reason Forrest selected this spot for his treasure. And thus, the finder will immediately see the connection between this location and Forrest's history. That's not it, because Forrest said the person who finds the treasure would probably not know why the spot was so special to him. |

In his statements, ff sometimes refers to the 'chest', sometimes the 'treasure', and sometimes the 'treasure chest', in the context of statements that seem to be referring to what we are looking for..
Could it be that the location of the 'treasurechest/chest' and the location of the 'treasure' are two different locations? Could this be the reason why it is so difficult to reconcile all of ff's statments about the treasure/chest with one particular location?
Maybe by separating ff's statements about the location of the chest/treasure into two separate groups, firstly those referring to the treasure and secondly those referring to the chest/treasure chest, and then focusing on only one or other set of statements, things might become clearer.
Has anyone tried this approach?
p.s. By suggesting this idea I am not inferring that the 'treasure' refers to the contents of the chest, and the 'chest/treasure chest' refers to the container of the treasure.

foolsgold, I agree with this. If you are in the right spot, several poem clues may more sense as the recipe is completed (water high, heavy loads, worth the cold, in the wood, etc.).

Searchers have been within 200' and didn't recognize it to be '200 feet close to the spot'.... you would think there might have been enough to encourage you to keep looking....but there isn't....
Is there anything to stand out, besides the Blaze, that is at the spot?

Is there anything to stand out, besides the Blaze, that is at the spot? Sad to consider, but the intention was for there to be a six foot ex. soldier/gallery owner beside the chest. This has implications for the type of area and concealment if you think about it. One would want to be protected from animals for example. |

First you have to figure out what the Blaze is, then you'll know. Since Fenn won't say what the Blaze is, you have to keep your mind open to all the possibilities, then hope you'll recognize it.

There must be something. |

I don't recall Fenn ever saying you couldn't see the blaze from GE. I know he said you couldn't see the chest ("Because GE doesn't go down that far") If I recall correctly, he declined to answer if you could see the blaze from GE or not. If you feel the last clue is the Blaze, then Forrest mentions that here: mysteriouswritings.com/six-questions-with-forrest-fenn-and-the-thrill-of-the-chase-treasure-hunt-double-charmed/Rocking chair ideas can lead one to the first few clues, but a physical presence is needed to complete the solve. Google Earth cannot help with the last clue. |
