Missing the thrill

[annie]

i really really really miss the Thrill of the Chase, and trying to find the Fenn treasure. Looking at lots of maps and lying in bed trying to work out what on earth is the home of Brown!
Had to start a new treasure hunt. But still think about the Fenn clues...does anyone else feel the same ?

All the crazy speculations and everyone’s own ideas of where their place might be the ONE. Dals crazy site too.

Jenny has lots of hunts on this site but none as thrilling as Forrest's. I'm still pretty crushed things ended the way they did and can't seem to connect with another hunt at this time. What made Forrest's hunt so special was Forrest himself. That is one tough act to follow.

Hello Annie,

Avoca Spring in YNP is the home of Brown. Molly Brown, of Titanic fame, named her summer home “Avoca” after her love of the following poem (notice the use of the word “vale” in the poem as well as in The Thrill of the Chase, and also the last two rhyming words of the poem):

The Vale of Avoca (Thomas Moore) (1779–1852)

THERE is not in this wide world a valley so sweet As that vale in whose bosom the bright waters meet; O, the last ray of feeling and life must depart Ere the bloom of that valley shall fade from my heart!

Yet it was not that Nature had shed o’er the scene Her purest of crystal and brightest of green; ’T was not the soft magic of streamlet or hill,— O, no! it was something more exquisite still.

’T was that friends, the beloved of my bosom, were near, Who made every dear scene of enchantment more dear, And who felt how the best charms of nature improve, When we see them reflected from looks that we love.

Sweet Vale of Avoca! how calm could I rest In thy bosom of shade, with the friends I love best; Where the storms that we feel in this cold world should cease, And our hearts, like thy waters, be mingled in peace.

The blaze is a triangle and cross, formed by connecting the geographic locations of the 9 clues.

It is the same shape as that of a USGS triangulation station, one of which is found at Kite Hill Cemetery (YNP) — exactly transected by the line between clues one and two, which are Boiling River Hot Spring and the Madison River Canyon Slide Memorial. The 3rd clue (home of Brown) is Avoca Spring in Biscuit Basin. Draw it out on Google Earth. Let me know if you want me to post the coordinates, for the sake of ease.

I like Greg's answer but their is another possibility as well. If you look up Dewey Brown the golf pro, you will find some interesting tidbits. Dewey Brown was one of the first African American professional golfers. He learned to golf on the Madison golf club in New Jersey. The unique thing about Dewey Brown was that though he was African American he had very light skin so many people did not know he was Black. There are a couple of things that make him the possible 'Brown" in the poem. One was that the 9th hole on the Madison Golf Club is named Homeward Bound. The other is that "Tarry Scant with Marvel Gaze" fits his description. He was very light skinned, barely black or "Tarry Scant". People wondered if he was Black or not so "Marvel Gaze" fits well also. Marvel=Wonder - Gaze= Look. They looked at him and wondered. This would lead one to the 9 Mile Hole(9th Hole) on the Madison that would be "Homeward Bound". Also the definition of "ward" as in Home - ward. Ward - def. - a projecting ridge of metal in a lock casing or keyhole permitting only the insertion of a key with a corresponding notch. So you would be unlocking the Home.

It is also interesting the Dewey Brown was the son of Ron Brown, one of the Tuskegee Airmen.

Anyway - just a possibility.

     Annie;                              I read your post about FFs treasure, and you had a lot of others that were following with you, but no one could figure it out. FF  once said a child could figure it out                                              easier than an adult. He was right, he also said people tend to look so far ahead they can't  see what's right beside them. I know Jack got there before me, by about                                                three days, but I assure you the chest was not in Wyoming  or Yellowstone. The first clue however was in Wyoming. Every person out there that was looking for the                                                  answer to the first clue looked at the clue every day of their life and will for the rest of their life and not even know. People just don't think, they make every thing                                                  than it is. All of the clues are very simple and straight forward, make it simple, once you do that it all falls into place. FF chose all words and fraises very carefully to                                                make them simple . He also said most people use words but don't know the meaning. When I read the book there is one section that stands out,  I  knew what to look                                            for. And the Blaze You can even see it on the internet.

annie: I read your post and you seem to be a bit let down, don't be I'll help you solve the Poem. First the Chest was not found in Wyoming or Yellowstone. Also all of the clues in the poem are very simple and NO hidden messages. All clues are exactly what they say or imply. FF once said a child could solve the poem before an adult, adults seem to complicate and look to far ahead. A child looks at only what is right in front of him and will use a dictionary. Although you know the key words use the dictionary, FF did when he wrote the poem and said so. Use that exact meaning and DON'T add any thing in. A hint, no post I've read has figure out the "The Blaze". The Blaze can actually be seen on Google Search and it would take a major Earth Quake to move it. IN FF Book most every thing in the book is nothing but fill in the blank stuff , However there is ONE section that is the KEY to the entire solution, something that stands out, something that FF kept talking about in almost all interviews. The clue to Where "Warm Waters Halt" you and every other American see it every day. TURBO R2

Does anyone know what the blaze was?

[turbor2]

Annie : The key to this solve is mostly in the chapter starting on page 73 "MY War". I'm not sure if it's legal at this time to tell where it was found or the clues, because it seems this thing is still in the Court system. The first clue starting place is in Wyoming. After that the clues go elsewhere. look up the word Blaze and get "ALL" DEF. and then look at pictures on the NET. Look at all key words each one has a second idea or meaning.
