Forrest Fenn's treasure

[themarkd]

haven't seen a thread on this.... Anyone interested in it? I've done some cursory research and would like to share. The distance precludes me from searching, but would like to help.

Hi Marke'd, I'm from Ohio. What part of the United States is this from?

Forrest lives in New Mexico and claims he buried it in the mountains north of Santa Fe. I'm in Iowa and am planning a SD excursion, so New Mexico isn't happenin' for me. I'll share my thoughts privately, tho.

I forgot to add a brief synopsis.

This yarn is two years old. Is the coot still alive? Bet he was seen doin it if he did. Those hills are crawlin with hobos.

I think the old fart is still kickin. No report of it bein' found. But, then, who would tell anybody?

If I lived in Santa Fe, I would consider spending some time on finding this cache.

The clues can be interpreted in many different ways. Home of Brown could be a favorite brown trout fly fishing river or creek. But it could be the Brown Ranch, or something else. Are the warm waters a geothermic mineral springs? Is Yellowstone (Yellow Stone) a good clue?

The treasure is not buried. It is in a cave, cleft, or perhaps in the water below the blaze (mark on a landmark? trail? arrow or initials on a tree?)

I see the book has taken a healthy increase in price. There are a couple of them for sale on Amazon at around $135.
