These will be fun.
One thought that caught my attention was how in the book Spring is mentioned to be warm, and so warm waters could refer to ‘Spring waters (like the melting snows and such)….and so since the Poem says, Begin it where warm waters halt- this sort is telling us the same thing….(if warm waters is Spring waters)…
Stop now…and begin (in the Spring) where warm (Spring’s) waters halt….
Hi Jenny. Thanks for posting Weekly Words From Forrest.
I like thinking about spring. So that’s what I’ll have to do… But let’s consider “engines” for a minute.
Engines. Search engines? What type of engine is he referring to?
I don’t think he’s referring to an airplane engine…
If it’s a car engine, the battery will most likely be dead by spring…
If it’s a locomotive engine, he could be hinting he’s trying to avoid a train wreck with no survivors. Where have I heard that line before?
Or… He very well could be telling someone to shut up. At least until spring. Maybe a searcher? A race car driver?… “Ladies and Gentlemen, Start Your Engines.”… But now it’s time to shut them off. Hmmm. All very interesting interpretations to consider. IMO
BTW Jenny… Love your site!
Shut up might work for those who have plenty of Springs to look forward to. Unfortunately, some do not. I would rather think that it means – stay home and out of the Rockies at this time of year for everyones’ safety.
Yes Kathryn, that too.
My thought is that something will be completed around Spring. Got to love Santa Fe.
Here is what I think.
The words are straightforward and he’s telling us to stop searching physically
(shut off engine = stopped vehicle).
My opinion is that with snow on the ground, you could very well pass feet away from his blaze without even realizing it’s there.
Wait until the snow melts and the chest gets wet, then start your engine 😉
Let me add some clarity here – if you know exactly where the treasure is you can visit Indulgance anytime you’d like.

I think this is a general bulletin for the public, if you know where it is then you know. I’m not saying I know i’m just saying …… If your searching for something snow will be a factor.
That’s a great idea, Larry. I wish I would have thought of that. Maybe I’ll try it sometime. “If you’ve been wise and found the blaze”…i.e. put on your thinking cap and used a blowtorch to melt the snow…then your effort will be worth the cold!

I believe Mr. Fenn might be referring to automobile engines as well as search engines…..to shut be off. Take a break from physical searching and stop searching the web for every word. He tell us, “We need to read the poem, the book and have a good map.
to me ,shut your engines off until spring,means, cool your jets,take it easy.stop ,R and R
