I feel it is possible that the Home of Brown was also the location of the treasure chest..... the clues are consecutive, and in the case of the line, 'put in below the home of Brown', the clue is 'put in below'.... a clue saying now you have to move 'up' to the location of the treasure chest (the home of Brown)..... Is there anything that contradicts this possibility? mysteriouswritings.com/top-forrest-fenn-treasure-quotes-on-the-home-of-brown/ |

I believe that (and this will not be a popular post) Browns Park NWR is the Home of Brown. I am now thinking that there is/was a last clue at Fenn's spot that said something to the effect, "So you found my special place. You won, now go to spot (gps coordinates?) in Wyoming to pick it up." or instructions to that effect.
If Fenn "Thought of everything" he would see this solution as a way to keep his spot still secret but still tell that the chest was literally in another state. I am still not convinced that chest was found. Beginning to look like it was picked up after ten years but one of Fenn's family members.

I can't prove anything right or wrong, but in my solve Lamar Ranger Station was the HOB and "put in" meant put in a canoe at the Lamar River which was "below" the ranger station and only 2500 feet away. My solve never came back to the ranger station.

I think home of brown is the Encampment River. Famous for their brown trout and also goes with my solve of the first clue, Riverside, Wyoming. I think he said you have to solve the first clue to get there....anyway...To put in below means you put it in on the bottom or at it's lowest point. If I follow the Encampment north, (if flows north from Colorado into Wyoming) I find the lowest point is where it meets the North Platte. It joins at Rainbow Canyon. If you mix all the colors of the rainbow you get brown. And what did Forrest say about the end of his rainbow?

Its not any of those things. Fenn responded to emailer that no one other than finder has mentioned HOB.https://www.reddit.com/r/FindingFennsGold/comments/ib2cv2/fenn_speaks/. It is likely something you will only know about if you started at WWWH. Just about everything on google maps ie rivers, roads, trails, cabins etc cannot be HOB. Unless THE ONLY way you would know about it is because you figured out WWWH. What ever he did tired and made him weak is what you begin doing at WWWH to bring with you..figuratively speaking.

Has anyone else noticed that the letters in the words, "put in below" can spell "blow it up NE"?? "Not far" looked at backwards says "Raft on" and " but too far to walk read backwards contains "Claw foot tub"(take a bath?). This could be referring to a place to blow up a raft and then raft down and then take a bath(tip over?). Sounds like John C Fremont's(John Charles something) ill fated raft trip down the North Platte , now Pathfinders/ Alcova Reservoir where he tipped over popped his raft in what is now known as Fremont Canyon.

That's actually a flawed interpretation of the question and Forrest's answer. There is nothing in Forrest's answer that indicates that the finder told him the correct home of Brown. Several reasons why the finder might not have. Simplest is that there would be no real need: since he's found the chest, the assumption is that he solved all the clues. Another is: what if home of Brown wasn't a clue? If true, then there would be no need to mention it. |

My point is almost all solves people have HOB as a lake where brown trout are or brown mountain or bison trail. It is likely a something that no one would ever find on a map unless they had solved WWWH. |

After reading the post that someone wrote about Browns Park, it would make sense if following the poem correctly. Especially if you started in Wyoming at the Flaming George (Burns) Reservoir, and took the Red Canyon down. And along the GREEN River where a gentleman name Baptiste Brown had built a home there on the Vermillion Creek. That could possibly be the home of Brown.
And then following the creek up to Vermillion Waterfall, before getting to Douglas Draw. Vermillion, William was an American soldier who was considered dead in France. Could he be the French Soldier that Fenn had references. And after doing some more research, I had learned of a 13 year old girl from STEPHENVILLE Texas who had died in the waters close by. Could she possibly be the Homely Girl that Fenn had references.
It would make sense that this could be the location because 2 famous female outlaws are buried ACROSS THE STREET from the waterfall. (The Biddies) I wonder if anyone has come up with this solve, or checked out the area and see if any aluminum or stone markers exist.

My interpretation of the home of Brown was that it meant to go to a location below 10,200 feet, the elevation of the Leadville, CO home of Molly Brown. Forrest Fenn once had to correct himself after saying the chest was below 10,000 and above 5,000 feet; 10,200 feet was an important clue. The poem finally took me to a spot at an elevation of 10,199 feet; the Owl's Eye. jfblaze.wixsite.com/website |
