Treasure found in Wyoming: Is WWWH on this list?

[Jenny]

Forrest announced his treasure was found in Wyoming.... where then was WWWH? Is it on the following list? What do you think? Do you have another?

Hi jenny, none of these are on my list as the system/method I used began in Colorado at 'Colorado Springs' as  WWWH and took you to a location where a proxy item was buried and when retrieved would have contained instruction as to where to go in Wyoming for the chest itself. 'Fremont County' in Colorado was where the proxy item was retrieved. Begin in Fremont, Colorado, and end in Fremont, Wyoming.
Forrest linked them both by County name. IMO.

List needs to include the Continental Divide (aka Great Divide)

I can’t speak to the “several” comment but for what it’s worth, my WWWH was the Cody Ice Climbs on the Southfork outside Cody, Wyoming. Here’s why:

1. If you ask a child how water halts most will tell you when it freezes.
2. There are many of these frozen waterfalls, which explains plural waters rather than singular water.
3. There are hundreds of these in the Rocky Mountains north of Santa Fe and a few south of Santa Fe. They are in all four search states.
4. The ice climb named Moratorium is a perfect match with waters halt.
5. It’s not really specialized knowledge to know water freezes. Knowing that waterfalls freeze is just knowing geology.
6. Imagination is more important than knowledge. To name frozen waterfalls as ice climbs is pure imagination. It’s not really specialized knowledge to know ski slopes are named so the same applies to ice climbs. It’s easy to google.
7. Other named climbs in the area match chapters in TTOTC quite well.
8. The one room schoolhouse in this area as mentioned in TTOTC.
9. The Schoolhouse ice climb invokes images of teachers with ropes.
10. You don’t have anything unless you have nailed down WWWH. Yes, nails and ropes are used for ice climbs.
11. In TTOTC, roping Cody could represent Cody Ice Climbs.
12. So why must I go could represent Southfork, Wyoming.
13. The answers I already know could represent the schoolhouse.
14. Slide Mountain is very near the schoolhouse.
