TunnelRat, I suppose you could take a shortcut but FF says to follow the clues in order as he wrote them to find the chest. There are so many ways to interpret this poem. I take it at face value myself, and will know soon if I'm right.
In its'self, that screen shot of white rock saying to Forrest that he is enclosing a photo of the treasure is meaningless to others as the messages could have been composed without sending Forrest anything or else sending a photo of a giraffe. We, the others on the forum only have white rock's word that he sent a picture of the treasure to Forrest. As Nvradar has said, prove it.

I hear and understand what you are saying, but it is more complicated. The idea was, that Forrest would confirm that he did get the picture, and tell the blogs as he promised that he would, if someone would sent him the picture of the treasure. I am holding him to his words.
Either he will publicly deny, that he received and seen the picture of the treasure after he hid it, or he will admit it. If he admits it, then it speaks for itself. I asked him to donate it. If he publicly denies it, I'll post the picture of the treasure here.
Somebody needs to ask him straight up, in public. Post his answer and link of his statement here. I have the picture that was sent to him - in it's hiding spot.

Personally, I saw and liked the movie 'The 9th Gate' mentioned by JayAckham above. I read the book first called the 'The Club Dumas' by Arturo Perez-Reverte (highly recommend it). I can speak with authority that there is NO possible connection between the treasure Fenn hid and the book or movie.... J's "creativity" knows no bounds and I feel like he would be better served (as would we here) if he would simply write a novel or book of his own.... 'Nuff said there.

Just remember, he was 80ish, just beat cancer, and had to make 2 trips with approximately 20-30 pounds of cargo to carry.
I doubt it being behind a waterfall unless there is an overhang/cave deep enough to keep the moisture under control. If you are planning for it lasting possibly hundreds of years, it will be impractical to attempt waterproofing to that degree. Even plastic/silicone/rubber will degrade over time.
Dry desert would be the most practical. Maybe hidden in the LDM or old Jesuit mine. Kind of a two-fer.
