OK, my BS detector pegged the needle on this one so I did some superficial investigating. For starters, the original poster of this thread is a newbie with 3 posts under his belt. Second, a quick Google search for "mark tracy","forrest fenn" returns only 7 results. One of those results is a link to ChaseChat and the "Forrest Fenn's Forum". There, the original poster has an account that was created on November 22, 2018 and last visited the site on November 24, 2018. He has spent a total of 12 minutes and 1 second online there. No posts. Third, the same original poster has a Tripod web page with basically the same information. The page in question is the only page associated with the account, and was last modified on December 10, 2018. Fourth, the image of the map showing correlations between the "clues" and their location looks suspiciously familiar. It's as if I've seen the same maps used in threads on this forum...very recently. Gee, if I could only remember where that was.
