Chapter XXVII The Appalachian Footpath Box

[Jenny]

You have to wonder if it wasn't the Little Girl from India question who inspired this box! We have a Forrest Fenn box so we know he was an inspiration on that! But in 2016 MW Six Q #5 asked...


mysteriouswritings.com/forrest-fenn-treasure-resource-page-on-six-questions-with-forrest-fenn-and-the-thrill-of-the-chase-treasure-hunt/


5Q) Your treasure hunt has inspired people worldwide to discover history, culture and nature, but many people, (even in the US) might be deterred because they don’t live near the Rockies or can’t afford to travel. Should they be deterred? Can a little girl in India, who speaks good English, but only has your poem and a map of the US Rocky Mountains, work out where the treasure is? And would she be confident as she solves each clue, or only confident when she has solved them all?

I wish I had another treasure to hide in the Appalachians. The little girl in India cannot get closer than the first two clues. There are many disabled people who are deeply into maps and geography, and they are having a lot of fun.

With JCB not confirming all items he purchased from the Forrest Fenn auction are to be in the Forrest Fenn box, maybe one of them are in this box?

That's a good thought but I think he keeps all the Fenn items together. My hope is that the Fenniacs and their craziness and constant drama stay focused solely on that one chest while the rest of us can search in peace. Their lunacy is already well underway in this hunt.
