[WIDirtFishing]

Thats fine., no offense ta;en. There is alot of misinformation out there. It is important to che,k the source.
The poem and the book, and Forrest quotes are all that I trust.

Exactly

I found that once I stopped reading what everyone said n just went on my feeling. I understood the poem better... I think I found All the clues. I'll give a very small hint after I go get the treasure. So the next person can enjoy the sight. I will leave a few pieces behind for u as well.

i am pretty sure the part about not far, but too far to walk means you will need a bike or horse or atv.

HELLO ALL
I JUST GOT BACK FROM YELLOWSTONE AND HAVE EXTENSIVELY SEARCH THE AREA AROUND GARY BROWNS HOME AND THERE IS NOTHING THERE. I ALSO SEARCHED THE AREA AROUND THE MADISON RIVER AT MADISON JUNCTION. AND THE THIRD SPOT WAS NEAR THE HOME OF JEFF BROWN AT MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS ALL OF THESE ARE IN YELLOWSTONE.

HERE IS MY LOGIC:
1
BEGIN IT WHERE WARM WATERS HALT--OLD FAITHFUL
AND TAKE IT IN THE CANYON DOWN--DOWN THE FIREHOLE RIVER
NOT FAR BUT TO FAR TO WALK--ABOUT 10 MILES
PUT IN BELOW THE HOME OF BROWN--AT MADISON RIVER IS HOME OF BROWN TROUT
FORM THERE ITS NO PLACE FOR THE MEEK--THERE IS BUFFALO AND BEARS
THE END IS EVER DRAWING NIGH--THE END IS NEAR
THERE'LL BE NO PADDLE UP YOUR CREEK--GO UP THE CREEK TO THE GIBBON RIVER TO THE AREA AROUND THE BRIDGE
JUST HEAVY LOAD AND WATER HIGH--CAR GOING OVER THE BRIDGE AND DEEP WATER IN STREAM ON THE GIBBON RIVER
IF YOU ARE BRAVE AND IN THE WOOD--LOOK IN THE WOODS AROUND THE BRIDGE




2
BEGIN IT WHERE WARM WATERS HALT--SODA BUTTE HOT SPRING--EXTINCT GEYSER
AND TAKE IT IN THE CANYON DOWN--GO DOWN THE CANYON
NOT FAR BUT TO FAR TO WALK--ABOUT 5 MILES
PUT IN BELOW THE HOME OF BROWN--RANGER GARY BROWN/BUFFALO RANCH
FORM THERE ITS NO PLACE FOR THE MEEK--BUFFALO, BEARS ,WOLVES,ELK
THE END IS EVER DRAWING NIGH--THE END IS NEAR
THERE'LL BE NO PADDLE UP YOUR CREEK--GO DOWN STREAM IN THE LAMAR RIVER
JUST HEAVY LOAD AND WATER HIGH--CAR GOING OVER BRIDGE AND DEEP WATER IN STREAM
IF YOU ARE BRAVE AND IN THE WOOD--LOOK IN THE WOOD NEST TO BRIDGE

3
BEGIN IT WHERE WARM WATERS HALT--MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS
AND TAKE IT IN THE CANYON DOWN--GO DOWN CANYON
NOT FAR BUT TO FAR TO WALK--COUPLE OF MILES
PUT IN BELOW THE HOME OF BROWN--JEFF BROWNS HOME
FORM THERE ITS NO PLACE FOR THE MEEK--BUFFALO ,BEAR AND WOLVES IN AREA
THE END IS EVER DRAWING NIGH-- THE END IS NEAR
THERE'LL BE NO PADDLE UP YOUR CREEK-GO DOWN YELLOW STONE RIVE
JUST HEAVY LOAD AND WATER HIGH--BUFFALO AND DEEP RIVER
IF YOU ARE BRAVE AND IN THE WOOD- LOOK IN THE WOOD IN HOME

I HOPE THIS WAS A HELP TO ANYONE WHO WAS GOING TO LOOK IN THESE AREAS.
I DID NOT FIND THE TREASURE OR ANY BLAZE

I agree, why else mention it?

 

[The Danno]

Well, too much of a rookie here to do any cool stuff like add a profile picture. Or, perhaps I just haven't spent enough time trying to figure it out.

I was out in New Mexico hunting all last week, and I wish I had found this thread sooner. While no treasure was found, I did locate several inspiring tree carvings which were interesting considering Forrest posted the pictures of the F's he had carved in his tree in his backyard. Among the carvings I found were an F, a tribal type frog and bull head, and an arrow with a symbol I couldn't quite make out. Not to say these are or are not forrest's handy work, but considering that these were older than a couple years, based upon the avreage dating of the other carvings in nearby trees that had associated years carved in, it intrigued me.

I am no stranger to the story, and have a copy of the book. Like Mr. Fenn said, there are many places that can be bent around to fit the clues in some form or fashion. The trick is finding the correct ones. That is paraphrased as I don't remember what he said exactly but it was along those lines.

As far as where I truly think it is, I am planning another trip out maybe next summer.

News you can use, don't go when the snow is still on the mountains. It makes walking the trails a pain in the rear.
Also obtain maps of the actual trail heads before you venture out. The trail I found to walk was about half of the distance of trail to the same destination in a book I picked up.

I will post pictures as soon as able hopefully tomorrow. My best advice is, many scenarios fit. Process of elimination, leave no stone unturned.

Maybe to through in another meaningless<img src="http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=787901"/> clue? Frank...

Frank,

We get it, you think it's BS. Can we stipulate for the record that we all agree that Frank thinks this is a waste of time and money? Enough already...

Finally a break:

This group of a few people within 500 feet, where really only 2 groups of people.


Fenn said two search parties had come within 500 feet of the chest. How does he know? “They all tell me exactly where they are,” trying to leverage more clues or location insight, he says.

That put’s his actions and mine into a better probability recovery bracelet………………


Based on his own statements "mark D" knows exactly who was within in 500 feet and could put this thing to a end. A few weeks after mark d
talked about 500 feet, Fenn went public about this. So either Fenn told you mark d or someone on the inside track

Or is a incorrect statement Mark?

Incorrect. Lots of people have told him lots of places. He'd never divulge the name or names.

Thanks Mark for answering page number 4 of this thread;

Mark your atatement was done in Nov The first time in a media outlet 500 feet was mentioned was Jan 1st..............Adds validity to you telling the truth, wouldn't you think?

[Whitt]

This thread reminds me of a contest held years ago in Baltimore where a car dealer hid the keys to a new car and gave out a clue a week on TV and radio. After the 5th clue I figured out the location down to a couple of feet. I spent hours going over those feet and came up empty. The clues came coming for about about 6 more months before the key was found, Right where I had searched. They even placed the key where it had been found and showed it on video. I had searched that exact spot 6 monthe prior, and it wasn't there. Is the fog starting to clear? Frank...<img src="http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=788388"/>

Now you spend your time annoying people on Treasure Net. Maybe we'll get lucky and that car dealer can hide some more keys...

Actually, solving puzzles just means finding the correct answer. A pamphlet denoting "rules of play" doesn't exist in any quest for "treasure".

 

[joe_dirt]

Solving a puzzle requires the availability of all the pieces. Sad to say this one is a put on, there is no starting point so the clues could fit a lot of places. I think that chest sits in his vault until he is ready to depart this earth. Just like the car keys. Frank...

<img src="http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=788598"/>

I'm not, nor do I have any intention of, looking for this treasure. However, as a somewhat interested spectator, I browse this thread on occasion. I'm just curious as to why it seems you almost have a personal issue with this treasure. It may be out there, it may not be. You obviously don't think it is, which is fine, but why do you seem to care so much if others believe it is? Why not just let them have their fun?

 

[joe_dirt]

Maybe, just maybe, it's because I care about other people. False hope is a hideous thing to wage on the innocent. I am 75 , found my share of caches, so I know the ropes. Tell me the truth, looking thru this thread, do you see anything beyond a wild guess as to even a starting point? Frank

<img src="http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=788644"/>

Nope, I don't see a starting point. In fact, I'm with you, I tend to doubt it'll be found, and there's a good possibility it's not even out there. But until people start dying left and right looking for it, or abandoning their families to go search, then I say let the armchair treasure hunters have their fun. Just my opinion.

 

[joe_dirt]

Good opinion Joe. It's not the armchair crowd that I was thinking about. It's the false hope injected into the new hunters. Oh, I have fallen victim to a few false tales and as I look back I think of all the time I could have used to enjoy a more fruitful adventure. Your lucky if you find 1 in 10 without the false tales.
Look at the Lost Dutchman. People have died looking for that one and I believe the source of the gold exists.
Look at the Beale Cache. I think that exists, but will never be found. The key to the location code might be some obscure out of date book that was more popular back then. I try to help the new guys in spite of themselves as you can see on post# 729. I like your type of inquiry. Have a good evening. Frank...

<img src="http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=788672"/>Never more!

Ok, fair enough. Thanks, you have a good evening too.

 

[The Danno]

Well just like people think it's stupid to play the lottery, one of those tickets somewhere eventually wins. I believe the only person guaranteed not to find it is the person who never looks. The starting point is in the poem, "Begin it where the warm water halts". Just because there are alot of places that may fit that scenario, doesn't make it fiction. Your speculation is the equivalent of never going scuba diving because you may not find a sunken pirate ship. It's about the fun that's had during the adventure. If you are here to try and kick other people in the junk because you have a pessimistic opinion, take it somewhere else. This place is for the dreamers that believe in the possibility of finding it. Start your own thread and call it "I'm the pessimistic guy that doesn't hunt for treasure yet I troll others that do on their TREASURE FORUM." See how many pals you get there.

 

[The Danno]

And if it's the "new hunters" you're worried about, they are the ones most likely to give up quickly. And if you're worried about their personal safety, you're a great person and all, but people are going to go regardless. I hate to be the Debbie Downer here but people get hurt all the time. People die all the time. I'd rather go down while hunting for treasure than while sitting behind my computer.
