We know from a Q/A with Forrest that he feels a Blaze is anything that stands out, and that there are LOTS of blazes out there.....
Is Forrest Fenn's Blaze a blaze which occurred naturally or one that he 'made' on something?

I think IMHO, it is just something that stands out as not natural to the scenery around it. Whether it be natural or man made. Just remember what forest said," While it's not impossible to remove the blaze, it isn't feasible to try." He also stated "No" when asked a question if the blaze was written about or mentioned in the book(TTOTC). Both of these quotes are from interviews on Terry Scant.

Forrest has said this about the BLAZE:
While it’s not impossible to remove the blaze it isn’t feasible to try, and I am certain it’s still there
Since it's not feasible to try and remove, Forrest most likely used something at location to either use as the BLAZE itself, or make a BLAZE on, or does BLAZE suggest something else? (like some feel it's the trail taking you to the location)...

I don't see the quote about not being written about or mentioned in the book.... can you provide a link for that? Thanks... (the other quote is from Illinoisghost) |

(the other quote is from Illinoisghost) This may be the quote Richard was referring to from MW... Mr. Fenn, You have said to read the poem and read TTOTC to help solve for the 9 clues. We all know there are many options to choose from regarding, Brown, hoB, wwh,and blaze hinted at in the book. My question is, “In the book, do you also, in a more subtle way, tell which is the correct answer to one or all of the above?” ~BW No I don’t madam, sorry. f |

IMO the blaze is something that you can see on Google Earth and it will always be there captured in time. He found it a long time ago. It's not there now, when Google Earth came out he had to move the blaze and hide it all, but he replaced what was there with something else so when you are at the right place you'll know for sure, because what was captured on film is smooth gone,and there's something else there now. But even though with the mirrored meanings, the poem still lead's to the same spot. So either way it's all the same. But you'll know.

Hi Jenny: I think it's unlikely that the blaze is simply the trail through all the clues because of this one quote from Forrest in Outside: Live Bravely (8/11/2015):
"The problem searchers make is that they don’t dwell long enough on the first clue. If you can’t find the first clue you don’t have anything. People driving down the street looking for a blaze, because that’s one of the clues, but you can't start in the middle of the poem and find the treasure." |

The quote Richard is referring to certainly does not preclude the blaze -- or any of the clues -- from being ~mentioned~ in TTOTC. All Forrest is saying with that quote is that it isn't identified as such.

(like some feel it's the trail taking you to the location)... "and I am certain it's still there" sounds to me ff is willing to bet that the blaze is still there. Is the "Blaze" referring to Blaise Pascal and his wager argument about how humans bets with their lives about the existence of God or not? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal%27s_wagerff is a betting man and wants to win more than anyone else and he like to set to odds in his favor if at all possible. |

From my notes:
bene - great
If you have been wise and found the blaze -> If you have bene astute(synonym of wise) and found the carved tree -> if you have great(It.) statue and found the totem pole -> if you have found the large(synonym of great) statue and totem pole
The blaze then is a reference to the totem pole in the cafe at British Museum. The large statue(been wise) is the MOAI from Easter Island in the Wellcome Gallery at the museum.
