Does anyone else think it is interesting there is a place alongside Warm Springs Creek near Dubois called the Halt Uranium Occurrence?

I wonder if Jack was referring to a physical journey or an emotional one. |

I don't believe that Fenn's poem reflects his point of view or his emotions on any important journey except the journey we must take, either physically or virtually, to find his treasure. Every word and phrase in the poem must be used to follow the path or to clarify the clues. It has nothing to do with his life. It's just a directional worded map. Jack's just saying things to deflect from the fact that the poem has clues that, if followed precisely, would lead you to the end of Fenn's rainbow and the real treasure chest location. Jack cannot tell us what even one clue meant because he doesn't know what even one clue meant. If he made up some clues that would lead to "his" treasure chest location, it would prove his whole story to be a fraud, because none, or few, of the clues can fit his location. Proof is in his description of what the blaze was. It doesn't fit what Fenn said about it. And he hasn't said what any other clue was. There is no way that divulging the location would cause a lot of people to visit it and damage the area. There's nothing that can be damaged at the real location. And if there was, it could easily be mitigated by simple measures.

.
I havent seen anything about the find that reveals the clue trail was followed, either. I do think it is possible to get into the general area when the poem is read in a specific way, without finding / understanding the clue trail, though. Then, find the treasure using a brute force approach. Thats a possible explanation.

"Read the clues in my poem over and over and study maps of the Rocky Mountains, try to marry the two." |
