Since this page seems to be prone to hunting treasures
I'll leave one in plain sight and see if you even believe that it exists
Forrest was concerned with one thing and that was cluing you into a few older troves from Jesse James and the Younger Gang
He walked you there in his poem step by step and left a few quirks that were easy enough to see based on the tone in the poem and the clues as they were taken from historical references of his favorite places to go
He then began to target specific types of people in his tone ...... one the comment "What would stop me from riding my bike out there and throwing it in the river"
He has been quoted as trying to ignore his "real" identity, and the reasoning behind why he is doing this behind his Cancer and the story of his recovery. Granted that is something I know all about myself, but I also see other motives in his appeal
He has called the Thrill of the Chase a story about his life, albeit free from many verifiable events seen in the book, holding very little attachment to any grounded reasoning for hiding a trove behind the text, meaning that the storyline does not complement the idea of a chase....the story is boring and would put you to sleep reading it TBH
Now seeing him step up to the plate with this as an offer to go out to the outback you naturally find you are dealing with a "Coyote"....a trickster of sorts.....always laughing to himself about the chase and it's tragedies.
Not to mention he considers this his "Catcher in the Rye", which has it's own stigma and ulterior motive attached to it, being a crafted story around an invented series of psychological themes, used to induce the desired effect.
Finding this all ties to a man that claims to be both a Vet and someone that worked for the CIA in Laos, you wonder why he added a moniker of a Golden Triangle to his paper map. Or why the NSAs archives on the Beale has a similar looking article with a man holding a shovel....you don't have to dig underground, but you see that he is showing you something is buried.
You also wonder how this all became a part of the chase and where he gets his inspiration for something like this, not because 7 people have died from it, no, but simply because you are interested in "Treasure"
So where is it?
It's embedded in your memory as a treasure box.....something out of a Pirates of the Caribbean quest for a chest o' booty.....realistically there is nothing tying this all to a location that holds his troves, but that of another treasure.
For that you could even rent out Forrest for 10,000 just to have him walk with you on your own quest......
Here are his bones
Here is his "Blaze"
See the shape ? See the meaning to any smoker becoming apparent what the Blaze is that he was talking about ?
See the good ol boys that were part of this R+R Camp ?
Fenn thinks that leading you here will help remind you about the final location being something of a bigger treasure waiting and to ignore his fake treasure chest chase
Seeing this all being tied into the craft of a sort of Masonic Lore, including their other secretive practices that are unmentionable, I also find that there are two ciphers in the poem, and that they are a key to something he is creating as a secondary message that only a few initiates can read. These are tied to a 3 count and 6 count using a base encoding system that patterns itself with 3 - 26 letter lines used as Vigenere Keys, and a 6x6 grid.....
Then I get a call from a person that has tracked down a tertiary layering of ciphers encoded in the poem. Not just the one poem though, he also found the matching and pairing cipher in the poem about Peggy, both using the 9 count as a base encoding system. This BTW is the only person that I have spoken over the phone with in the entire time about the poem....not one collaboration online will even touch upon it merely because Forrest "honestly" told you there was no cipher in the poem early on.
He found a consistent patterning of something so obvious and having a template to it, that you could use it to convey almost any message using a facade of words as the cover story.
Encoded in this 3rd cipher was a template of letters and their numerical values in a gematria, which then was used to select specific line counts, forming a pattern on the grid. This grid then was compared to a strand of Human DNA and it matched the fit and the form of a double helix spiral, with the secondary acting as a template of added CRISPR strands....these being alterations of the human genome encoded in a treasure hunting poem, by a man that claimed to work for the CIA in Laos, under direction of the Phoenix Project and it's branch operations in the US.
A later examination of his ciphers shows that he has a degree of encryption used that was the reasoning for creating the poem over such a long period of time. The Architect he mentions is the theme of the Grand Master Architect of Masonic Rite, and these ciphers were taken right out of a textbook that the Rosicrucian Order used to use to send their messages hidden behind a front.
You don't get that in the average military training class in the US Military.....that is some hidden occult practice that is only shown to others in a secret order.
Not to dwell on the fantasy of someone else's life over the course of their career, but the facts are stacked against him at this point.
He even used a line from the Tempest calling his treasure chest "Indulgence"
This combined with the umpteen other facts that are compiled against him by others that were also directly spun into their own course and lost their lives by Forrest's "personal hints" are something of a relic to everyone already.
But let's be honest for once in this hunt as fellow searchers......he never wanted it to be found he said, and ended it literally a decade after he started it without even showing anyone proof of his claim
He did leave something behind through his "Art" in his book though
And anyone can see the trivial threats he is making on Pg 25
