I see 49 dollers was quicker on the draw than I re: the spider web(s). I don't see why there is resistance to the simplest explanation: photo taken soon after chest discovered... as in minutes, not hours or days. Taking such a shot for documentation purposes is just the natural thing to do, and more readily explains the chest's appearance than how it *would* look after any significant transport.
My point was it indicates that the chest was not photographed exactly where he found it. There are people looking at the things outside the chest and assuming all kinds of things (sprinkler head? lol). I think they took it out of the nook it was shoved in, then got away from that spot before they opened it. Clearly they also took things out because nobody knows what the two items were that he told nobody about. Some assume one was the branch, but we don't know that.
My partner would do such a thing, and he would not be worried about people sneaking up because they would be in a lot of hurt if they tried anything funny. He is also insured for 5 million dollars because his business requires him to travel with things far more valuable than that chest.
Thing is, not sure why people think the picture was taken exactly where it sat when Forrest said the picture was taken soon after, meaning they moved. Why does everything need to be a controversy?
PS: IMO we will not know the answers for a very long time, perhaps even longer than a year. Forrest (and the finder) are in no rush to do anything because they are set to make a fool out of anyone who claims their solve was stolen, email was hacked, whatever. FF is not as stupid as many of the searchers are! LOL
Also I never said hours or days, it could be minutes. But it was NOT taken where the chest was discovered, could be feet or even a mile away.

IMO...a word that is key = PADDLE. Solve the riddle within “there’ll be no PADDLE up your creek” and you will have “found the blaze”. Thoughts? I have my solve...if you care to hear?

The 'no PADDLE' clue relates to a company called 'Lost Paddle Rafting' based in Canon City and they give bicycle tours along parts of Phantom Canyon in Fremont where my 'Adelaide' circular cistern is. That is what it relates to. All the clues in Verse 3 relate to the same place 'Adelaide'

That is what it relates to. All the clues in Verse 3 relate to the same place 'Adelaide' I like that logic. My “no paddle” means that logically if you are up the creek, you must still have a boat, just no paddle. So IMO and in my solve, that boat was Boat Mountain is the main landmark at my put in below Hebgen dam. It fit and was therefor my “found blaze”. IMO of course |

That there is broad resistance to Gallatin as Forrest's keyword just tells me that most people will not be particularly satisfied with the true, full solution if it is ever revealed by the finder. I have zero doubt that Gallatin Canyon was Forrest's "canyon down," and yet over 99% of searchers are focused elsewhere. This is probably as perplexing to me as Gallatin is perplexing to them, lol. ;-)

Got to follow your belief zaphod, we may get some closure but it looks highly unlikely now.

I'll have my closure, one way or another, before Forrest's 90th birthday.

Gallatin solves are much better than Hebgen/Quake lake IMO  |

Yes, the timing of Forrest's news was awful as usual. Why couldn't he just keep his piehole shut for another 3 weeks so that I could get closure by my own actions? Was that too much to ask? Instead, he makes the very unsatisfying statement "...today he agreed that we should reveal that the treasure was found in Wyoming." Why word it like that? Why not make a simple, declarative statement: "I HID THE TREASURE IN WYOMING." Period. But no, he prefaces the big hide-state-announcement with "we should reveal." Well SURE! For tax reasons, that would be a really smart maneuver, no matter which state the treasure was actually hidden in. That you ~should~ reveal that information doesn't mean it's actually true.
Do I think Forrest hid the treasure in Wyoming? Yes. It would be incredibly cruel to mislead searchers at this point by saying it was found in Wyoming if in fact the chest had been hidden in one of the other three states. I just wish he hadn't used such squishy language in his announcement.
