This is the final location of the chest I was at the exact location on 6/5/2020.
I have a large story to tell but don't believe that a blog comment section is a place for this but here goes the condensed version:
I first discovered this back in April and have been working it since in New Mexico.
The first stanza does not have anything interesting but as Forrest said it is all about WWWH:
Begin it where warm waters halt = Jemez river and Rio Guadalupe.
And take it in the canyon down, not far but too far to walk. = take canyon all the way down
Put in below the home of Brown = Turn right on Hwy 550
(Indian Pueblos = home of Brown)
From there it’s no place for the meek, = Stay on 550 (Indian Pueblos) 30 miles north
The end is ever drawing nigh; = Turn left off Hwy on left side just past old Hwy 44
There’ll be no paddle up your creek, Just heavy loads and water high. = Cross over the Rio Puerco
If you’ve been wise and found the blaze, look quickly down, your quest to cease, but tarry scant with marvel gaze, just take the chest and go in peace. = This is where wise comes into play:
Drive from Hwy 550 7 miles turning left onto BLM 1102 you will cross over a cattle guard and there will be a small house on the left of the pasture.
You have to be Brave to hike in to the right side of the house into the area the looks like a plane in google earth. The exact spot (Indian girl in book store and war for me story about the blink) is close to the point of the plane.
I did find the mark for father on the banco but failed to find Skippy’s mark and then I found Forests Mark but no chest.
The funny thing is I was there approximately 1-2 days after it was supposedly retrieved but during our search, we found no foot prints or other indications anyone had been there recently.
We had spent a total of 7 days searching the area south of the house before I realized that It was not around the reservoir (Headcut = guillotine) but then on the 8th day at the spot there was nothing there.
This area does not get a lot of traffic as we spent a total of 8 days here and met the 2 ranchers and only 1 other vehicle passed by the area.
I have so much more to say but I want this public prior to the finders solve.
