A while back it was mentioned creating a thread to list some of the Questions or items Forrest doesn't answer on the Chase. (I think it was Goldilocks...thanks..great idea)... Sometimes what he doesn't answer might offer something, just as much as some of the Questions he has answered.... Here are two Q's on the Blaze: Question posted 6/26/2014:
Can the blaze be pre-determined by the poem or can it only be determined at the search area?- becky
Becky, you are a rascal to ask that question and I have been sitting here for about fifteen minutes trying to decide what to say. Well, it has been thirty minutes now and I think I’ll pass on the question. Sorry.fand
Question posted 6/26/2014:
Has anyone seen or mentioned the blaze to you? ~Stephanie
Thanks Stephanie for the questions. I have read them several times very carefully. They appear subtle on the surface but they aren’t. A yes or no to either question would give too much away, so I’ll pass. Sorry, and I’m aware that some searchers will pick me apart for this answer.f. mysteriouswritings.com/questions-with-forrest-fenn-and-the-thrill-of-the-chase/ |

This Q/A is interesting. The reason he doesn't want to answer the question is not because it will give away too much, but rather the answer may be misleading and he has no desire to do that.
Forrest,
Have you reflected on the notion that a person(s) could find your treasure and never let you or the rest of the world know that they accomplished the undertaking? And that the same person(s), now privy to the location, could add to the mystery and adventure of it all, leaving their own token(s) and/or hints of treasure in the coveted spot for forthcoming seekers/generations to find…all the while remaining anonymous? If the right someone were to find it (or has), the chase perpetuated and preserved could take on a new direction that could be timeless. Of course as quixotic a thought as this is, it would need to be a special someone all around. My observation of human nature is most would want the world to know how smart and successful they were in completing treasure hunt. Then again, there are treasure hunt examples out there where the location is found with no treasure to be seen or explanation to be had. I like the intrepid belief that if you get it right, there will always be something there at the exact location to find and treasure.
Domino
I have tried to answer those questions several times and finally decided that what I say would be conjecture and might mislead some searchers. So I think I’ll pass on those. f

Forrest has also not answered specifically when he discovered his special spot or hid the treasure. Plus, he won't confirm whether it is buried or not.... When did you find this spot to bury the treasure like year?
I have not said that I buried it, and I don’t want to reveal when I discovered the spot. It is too much of a clue.dalneitzel.com/2017/02/08/forrest-gets-mail-13/ |

Just shared Forrest's unwillingness to share anything on the home of Brown in another thread, and so will add that here too: We were also wondering if you could tell us anything about “The home of the Brown.

There are also questions (here are some examples Zap gave on another thread which I copy/pasted below) that Forrest doesn't answer. Is he being silly, playful, bored, fresh or just plain annoyed? I will add that written responses are difficult to interpret because we do not have his body language such as a smile or laugh from Forrest to understand how his answer should be taken. #1 Jennifer London interview of Forrest Fenn (posted 4/2/2013), at the 10:41 mark of this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipvIGaVt7C8 Jennifer says, "In the poem, which you say has these nine clues, there are references to water, there’s references to Brown’s house. Who’s Brown?" FF: "There’s references to wood." Jennifer: "But you didn’t answer my question. Who’s Brown?" FF, smiling: "Well, that’s for you to find … if I told you that, you’d go right to the chest!" Now #2: 1. Richard Eeds radio show (5/29/2015): Eeds: "Okay. Um, how much does it weigh?" FF: "The gold in the treasure chest weighs 20.2 troy pounds. And the chest weighs forty, uh, twenty-two pounds. So the whole thing, I think, is around 42 pounds. It was heavy enough that I made two trips to hide it. I took the gold in one time, and then I took the treasure chest in the second time." Eeds: "What kind of shoes? What kind of footprints did you leave? What kind of boots did you have on?" FF: "Well if I told you that, you’d go out and find it."

3Q) In your memoir, The Thrill of the Chase, after the poem, you mention there are subtle clues sprinkled throughout that book. You have said you hadn’t deliberately placed these subtle hints in your book; but have you done so in any of your other writings mentioned in Question two (scrapbooks, vignettes, etc)? Or, even if maybe not purposely sprinkled in those writings of Q2, would you consider some of those to contain subtle hints too, like in The Thrill of the Chase? I don’t want to broaden the clues and hints I’ve written about by pointing them out. What surprises me a little is that nobody to my uncertain knowledge has analyzed one important possibility related to the winning solve. mysteriouswritings.com/six-questions-yet-again-with-forrest-fenn-always-a-treasure/ |

Some searchers think there are only two clues in TTOTC. Pretty hard to "sprinkle" only 2 clues "in the chapters of my book." Conclusion: there are a lot more than two.

Doesn't want to give an exact distance.......but yet he knows from certain recognizable features, searchers have been within 200 feet, and also 500 feet. Hi Forrest,
You once said you walked the 92 miles from West Yellowstone to Bozeman to just experience it. Obviously you were much younger than you were when you hid the treasure. Too far to walk means different things at different ages so I was wondering if you would be so bold as to give an estimate of how far you walked to hide the treasure after leaving your car: was it >10miles, between 5 and 10 miles, between 1 and 5 miles, or less than 1 mile? ~Thanks, Ron
Ron, your question sounds like a travelogue, but I’ll answer it. No, I don’t want to be that bold. But I will say that I walked less than a few miles if that will help. I just looked “few” up and one definition is “scant.” Why do I sound like I’m talking in circles? fmysteriouswritings.com/featured-question-with-forrest-talking-in-circles/ |

"Rascal". "Pick me apart". These could be riddles. Little Rascals was a popular show with characters like Alfalhpa and Spanky. Pick me apart could be a Crow. Then again I often think searchers read too much into things then I do exactly that. |

Q1) Is/are the searcher(s) still involved, those you had indicated in August of 2014, who were within 200 feet of the treasure? A) I don’t want to answer that question because it would reveal too much. f Q2) If so, are he/she any nearer at all after two years time? A) Don’t know. Sorry. f OOPS, one more on this (pretty please) Q3) And IF he/she are still searching, after two years’ time, has ANYONE else neared or passed he/she in proximity to the above mentioned “within two hundred feet”? I’m hoping for a mind tingling, fire starting, blog buzzing answer from you, but just a response is fine by me! A) No need for oops, but again, I don’t know. f mysteriouswritings.com/featured-question-with-forrest-are-searchers-closer-than-200-feet/ |

I believe he found this spot first in May of 1969. I am basing this on the following (3) related hints:
Another presumption I have is that he was at this specific spot only because he crossed, turned and broke down near there. I would like to hear the full story some day.
I could also be wrong.

Forrest, You said you made two trips from your car to hide the treasure. Besides walking, did you use any other methods of transportation to get back and forth between the car and the hide? Thanks, Edgar Edgar, your wording of the question prompts me to pause and wonder if I can answer it candidly, yet correctly. Were all the evidence truly known, and I answered in the positive, you might say I was prevaricating, by some definitions of the word. And if I answered in the negative, you may claim that I was quibbling. So I will stay quiet on that subject. Thanks for the question anyway. f mysteriouswritings.com/featured-question-with-forrest-quibbling-or-prevaricating/ |

What is the other question Stephanie asked? He said he read "them" so it's hard to determine what he couldn't answer...
As far as Becky's question, the answer may not be a yes or no to either question. There may be more than one response. What if it could also be pre-determined by TTOTC...how could he have answered that without giving that away? She asked 2 questions so it's hard to say which he couldn't answer.
