mysteriouswritings.com/questions-with-forrest-fenn-and-the-thrill-of-the-chase/This question was posted in chasing fenn's facebook group. Forrest's answer to the question doesn't say WWWH has to be found before the home of Brown. The home of Brown could be found before WWWH. It's the big picture that a solution is found when all clues fit together. Do you think that someone who is sure about the location of the home of Brown could reverse-engineer where warm waters halt? ~Ben Raylor Thanks for the question Ben. If you are sure about the location of home of Brown why are you concerned about where warm waters halt? But to answer your question, sure you could and a few searchers might throw in some gas money for a percentage of the take. Good luck.f

It’s kind of a chicken or egg type question. If someone TOLD you the correct HOB then you could most likely backtrack to eventually figure out WWWH.
But in order for you to actually figure out correct HOB you’d need to figure out the correct WWWH first. Otherwise HOB could be in any state and virtually anywhere for a variety of reasons. It needs to be narrowed down. And even then, figuring out HOB or more accurately the correct put in below HOB is not easy if you haven’t figured out prior clues.
IMO it’s much easier/efficient to take the clues one at a time then try and skip ahead. Several reasons, but most important to me is level of confidence. Landing on a clue that is disconnected from the ones that come before will almost certainly lead you off course.

It's possible HoB isn't on a map. It's also possible Fenn's response above has a fair amount of sarcasm in it.

And if you are BOTG, just looking around/scouting out areas, couldn't hoB be 'found'? And then reversed engineered to find a WWWH? It would seem the same is possible for 'Your Creek'? or other clues? Even the Blaze? It seems the further you get away from WWWH, the less likely the clue can be reverse engineered? Might be easily done with the 'canyon down', but the 'heavy loads and water high'- less likely? |

Might be easily done with the 'canyon down', but the 'heavy loads and water high'- less likely? I think I would have to be Forrest to answer those questions. Regarding HoB, perhaps it is the meeting of two coloured items that if you mixed them made brown (but then why the capital B?). In which case, you may be stood right there and not know it. Something like that. These features would have to be small enough so they don't feature on LGII's high-level map. In my mind I also imagine a tight creek or gap in a rock formation, just wide enough for one person to travel along. This would make it highly unlikely for later clues to be found by accident, unless you happened to already be in that geological feature. But...who knows?.. |

I think Forrest's answer implies all clue locations can be found and reverse engineered from a boots on the ground standpoint. He said the blaze could be found but was unlikely. A searcher wouldn't have to reverse engineer this. They'd have the treasure. There is hardly any location a person hasn't been to. IE hiker camper fisherman.

lol.... very true.... I'm sure you wouldn't be thinking WWWH if you found the Blaze.... you'd be thinking....let's grab the Treasure and get the heck out of here!...

Hi Jenny: for your first question, I'd say no because there are other possibilities: 1. hoB isn't a clue 2. hoB isn't on HER map
For question 2: I think hoB may have been "found" by plenty of searchers, but they either didn't recognize it as such or they weren't sure it was correct because they hadn't solved one or more clues preceding it. I think the reverse-engineering line of reasoning isn't particularly helpful. Forrest seems pretty confident the clues can only be solved in order, so why go against his advice and try to short-circuit them? Forrest has said that exercise is "expensive folly."
