His Treasure Found Statement:
"It was under a canopy of stars in the lush, forested vegetation of the Rocky Mountains and had not moved from the spot where I hid it more than 10 years ago. I do not know the person who found it, but the poem in my book led him to the precise spot. I congratulate the thousands of people who participated in the search and hope they will continue to be drawn by the promise of other discoveries." To Me:
- "under a canopy of stars" reminds me of his Looking for Lewis and Clark chapter
- "forested" makes me think he's hinting at it being in a National Forest (likely the Gallatin National Forest)
- "promise of other discoveries" means Lewis & Clark's Corps of Discovery
- He promised not to talk about something in Looking for Lewis & Clark
Am I crazy? mm

Not crazy at all, Minotaurmoreno. I think the treasure was hidden in the Gallatin National Forest (not in Yellowstone) and that WWWH was where the Gallatin River exits the park at its northwest corner. Gallatin Canyon formally begins precisely at that border. (Recall "Important Literature": Border's, Borders, borderline biddies.) Forrest told us the correct map in TTOTC: the one that he and Donnie burned. I think a number of people eventually latched onto that WWWH. (I've been using it since 2016). Where searchers hiccuped was in failing to solve "Not far, but too far to walk" which was a logic problem, not some vague distance to start looking for a home of Brown.
Scrapbook 61 (4/23/2014): "It seems *logical* to me that a deep thinking treasure searcher could use *logic* to determine an important clue to the location of the treasure. Is someone doing that now and I don't know it? It's not what they say on the blogs that may be significant, it's what they whisper. f"

Zap, I considered NFBTFTW be related to route 242, which was then changed to route 191. Is that what you mean?

I suspect very very few had solved the third clue, but maybe they wound up there for some other poem related reason?

"under a canopy of stars" It sounds like the Madison Amphtheater "STARS OVER YELLOWSTONE" night viewing program since 1999. Located at the Madison Junction in Yellowstone National Park They even say "bring a flashlight" Fenn said "take a flashlight" www.yellowstone.co/ranger/startalks.htmHeavy loads water high = gage on river right there measures flow and height.. other clues lead to this area.. My guess, it is was around Madison junction, perhaps in the campground, maybe lot #9. |
