If I remember correctly Mr Fenn stated ON TELEVISION that the clues were so easy his grandchildren could figure it out. That to me means STOP OVERTHINKING things.
This is my way of thinking of things WITHOUT overthinking.
Begin it where warm waters halt ( Where the Little Colorado and the Colorado Rivers meet. Little Colorado is 75 degrees in daytime and the Colorado is frigid)
And take it in the canyon down, (The Grand Canyon of course)
Not far, but too far to walk, ( approximately 40-50 miles as a bird flies)
Put in ( your boat) below the home of Brown ( the point at which Frank M Brown drown and his body was never found. Making it his permanent resting place or "home")
From there it’s no place for the meek, ( 25 mile rapids, 29 mile rapids, many people have died on these rapids. etc)
The end is ever drawing nigh; ( many people have died on these rapids)
There’ll be no paddle up your creek, ( once the rapids get ahold of you there is no way out, you cannot paddle upstream or out of the flow of water.You are at the mercy of the flow of the water good or bad.)
Just heavy loads and water high. ( white water)
If you’ve been wise and found the blaze, (N 36° 12.851 W 112° 03.615 (NAD 83) , RM2 for ANGEL The blaze and copper washer & nail. From
Geocaching > Benchmark Hunting > Benchmark Details 3/4's of the way down the page.
Is this the Blaze he is talking about? Well If you have done your research the box weighs 40 lbs. He his the box and "walked back to his car" YES there are MANY Blazes but the Blaze that I speak of is within 1/8th OF A MILE OF A ROAD, 2 MILES OF A RESORT. He has stated, supposedly that "over 50 people have been within feet of it" Maybe thats because beyond the resort is a community that is spread quite widely that TAKES CARE OF THE RESORT. The Resort for vacationers is limited. The resort for WORKERS is VERY VERY LARGE. And in that land IS THE BLAZE at N 36° 12.851 W 112° 03.615, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RESORT. Land in which it is LEGAL to search.
Go on believeing I am wrong. You may not find it but give me 12 months I will.
