"Forrest, You said you made two trips from your car to hide the treasure. Besides walking, did you use any other methods of transportation to get back and forth between the car and the hide? "
If Mr. Fenn said either "yes" or "no" and used a horse, and the horse only walked, how many forms of transportation is that? A horse and a man can be considered two forms of transportation. But...walking is only one form of transportation.
I believe he used a horse.

I don't think Forrest owned horses at the time he hid the chest. So he would have had to arrange for a horse, a trailer and all of the tack. That would've drawn attention and it also takes a lot of time to unload and saddle up when you get to the trailhead and do the reverse when you've finished.
Another thing is he said he drove a sedan to the site when he hid it, and I wouldn't try pulling a horse trailer with a sedan.

The horse idea is killed by many ATFs. Sedan is one of the better pieces of evidence. But more simply: why take two round-trips from your vehicle if you've got a horse? The 22 lb difference would be irrelevant.

My solve is very close to a ranch that offers horses. The sedan could have been driven to there. Why make two trips with anything? Anyway, I believe one of the trips was for carrying tar and making a blaze. A walking animal helps explain why you can answer two ways.
walking = one form of transportation
man on walking horse= one form of transportation if you only count walking. Two forms if you count the horse as one and the man as one
man on vehicle= man who walks and vehicle that is driven
Just my idea. I'm sitting here without Fenn's Treasure right or wrong.

My latest solve involves a dude ranch where what you describe could have happened: HOB is the Water Valley Ranch in Encampment, WY |
