See the clues up close, I am not the finder !

You can find the omega(s) from your couch - if I'm not mistaken.

Interesting, but... does this spot really look like some place someone would want to die? Don’t forget that was his original plan.
 
Also Forrest said it was found in lush, forested vegetation. This spot doesn’t fit that description.

[turtlenchase]

Those were my thoughts exactly, which is why I walked right past and kept hunting. I remember thinking he wouldn't put it here in this rubble pile. Remember the treasure gets wet. At the other end of the old culvert is a Rocky mountain maple tree (I think that is the tree type???). The leaves could look like stars. It is growing above the culvert. I think that is the spot where Forrest hid as a kid when the train went by. There was a nice little ledge right in front of the culvert opening behind the tree. The platform has erroded away now and it is steep. I think that is the spot for the bones.

"lush, forested vegetation" - He used the word "it" in his announcement, the "it" could have been the culvert under the tree in its roots

Another theory is he is describing the Aspen with the blaze in his announcement - the 9/2/92 was carved by Forrest or "forested vegetation", forested being a verb (carved by forest), and the aspen tree leaves are the stars above the treasure (the 9/2/92 carved in the tree). Also Aspen's are connected together by thier roots and this fits into the "lush" definition.

Obviously I am stuffing all the clues into my spot. Perhaps I am wrong.

I think the omega(s) will support me. I am deliberately being vague to protect the spot. It/they should be findable with a little flying.

edit:
The more I think about it my spot doesn’t make sense does it? It is more likely on the other side under the tree at the end. Which means my video is wrong. You would think I’d learn. It was still fun to make. Need to fix it. The treasures doesn’t make sense nor does a ruble pile. Tunnel vision.

I think the reference in the book is not an omega (too symbolic). I think one important reference from the book is BENCHMARK.

Hi annie it is strange that you should mention BENCHMARK, for at the end of my Zodiac drawing you end up with the a triangle with a dot in it that resembles the Benchmark Maps logo. It is the drawing that finally clinched it for me. I mention it in my 'Treasures in the Zodiac' post.
I firmly believe that the puzzle involved drawing right up to the end.  As an aside if the RED angle of the rainbow was 42 degrees and HOT and the BLUE angle was 40 degrees and COLD then following that premise 41 degrees would be 'WARM' and that number appears in my drawings on the Zodiac right in the middle. It is 41 degrees that makes sense with T.S. Eliot's quote which ends "will be to arrive back where we started and know the place for the first time" 
We began with "where warm waters halt" found by using a BLUE cold angle to find RED a hot angle to give the mix being 'WARM' where at the end we know the place for the first time because we see the number 41 degrees which falls between RED @ 42 degrees and BLUE @ 40 degrees. This is how we know the end, it shows us by revealing the true number of 'WARM WATERS' 41 degrees. This falls in the middle of the circle cistern.

What really convinced me was Forrest's quote: "I felt like an architect drawing that poem"
Forrest's mention of "If followed precisely" lends itself to geometry which is an exact science and really does give preciseness if that was what was required. It has all been about drawing the solution to the end. That is my belief and I to had no choice but to follow that belief   The results drive themselves to the end, now I am also tired and weak

Benchmarks are funny. I think there are also triangulation points, which will tie in with your other ‘stellar’ explanations.

It may seem strange but once you are led into this geometry you start to analyse just what did Forrest envisage doing next, so with what you see before you you start to use imagination and try to see where he wanted you to go with it if you follow me. I felt like I had gotten inside his skin, trying to think like him if that's at all possible.

Yes, I understand. What i found that after reading several hundred times - the change of tense in the poem. Started with ‘I’ as in - I have gone... then changes to and instruction telling YOU where to go, Until the sentence on it’s own: Put in below the home... 
then he goes back to “If you’ve been wise... (questioning you, the reader). 
Then we are back to the author “so hear me all...”. 
I believe that the first stanza is about the river itself “as i have gone alone in there “. And it’s passage down a canyon, meeting a lake (put in) then onto dry land and the riches it passes by   -  old (Silver)and new - (the hydroelectric plant). 
That sentence on it’s own is almost like a double meaning (where the creek flows, and where the chest is hidden).
