Mr. Fenn, I would ask if you have ever held the hope that Buffalo Bill Cody, ( remains ), would one day return to Spirit/ Cedar Mountain in Wyoming.

“Buffalo Bill chose the spot on which he wished to be buried, near the town he loved and the Country he loved.”

~Lookinup

Yes, I wish they would let Buffalo Bill go home. f

 

 

Best of luck with all that you seek!  Always Treasure the Adventure!

  1. Thanks so much for the Question, Lookinup. And your answer Forrest!

    As some of you may know I created a section on the MW Forum to list questions you would like to ask.

    http://mysteriouswritings.proboards.com/ You can still email me them as well.

    Also, The MW Site was down yesterday because of heavy traffic. I had to change some backend things around too. Hopefully it stays up, and comments should be back on.

    Sorry for any inconvenience.. and thanks for being part of MW!

  4. Thank you for the “Featured Question,” Jenny, Lookinup, and Mr. Fenn. It appears I need to go back and read this information. I thought his wife had said he wanted to be buried in Colorado. I wonder if Mr. Fenn speaks of Buffalo Bill’s family or Colorado giving up his remains.

    Cody seems to be on the radar.

  11. Hard one…IMHO, using more imagination and fewer words:

    Mr. Fenn, you have held the hope that ( remains ), would one day return.

    Yes. f

    >>>>>>>.

    Using more imagination than words, I see ” ( remains ) “as the silver and turquoise bracelet, which Mr. Fenn has stated that he hoped would be returned to him by the retriever of the chest.

    I count 11 words in the answer, which I have previously stated I feel means 9 clues and 2 hints have been revealed to Mr. Fenn.

    Of course, my interpretation is likely based on my alignment to Mr. Fenn’s gut feeling that the chest will be retrieved this summer.

    Peace,

      2. We share an opinion that so much seems to be indicating the end is near. Depending on one’s point of view, there are either 36 days of summer remaining (through 9/22) or only 14 days remaining (through 8/31)…someone on Dal’s site commented that Mr. Fenn did not consider September part of summer.

        I’ve been preparing since May when I got back into the Chase after an absence of well over a year – reading comments about the “gut feeling” made earlier in the year, followed by subsequent posts have made the transition easier for me, regardless of the outcome. I feel I have one more BOTG so, we’ll see.

        Peace,

        Inohury

        1. Inohury; You say that you’ve been preparing since May. I wish you the very best once you do put BotG. It has been a long hard chase. As you know, I am dependent on my search team – I will go when at least one member can go with me – Probably next week-end. I had hoped to go this week-end, but my wife Tess is not feeling well, so I have delayed one week.

          For me, it will be next week-end – I hope that for you next week-end will be the one that you have been preparing for since May – JDA

    Death[edit]

    Cody’s funeral procession in Denver
    Cody died on January 10, 1917. He was baptized in the Catholic Church the day before his death by Father Christopher Walsh, of the Denver Cathedral.[63][64][65] He received a full Masonic funeral.[66] Upon the news of Cody’s death, tributes were made by George V, Kaiser Wilhelm II, and President Woodrow Wilson.[67] His funeral service was held at the Elks Lodge Hall in Denver. The governor of Wyoming, John B. Kendrick, a friend of Cody’s, led the funeral procession to the cemetery.

    Cody’s grave in 1927

    Cody’s grave, in Golden, Colorado
    At the time of his death, Cody’s once-great fortune had dwindled to less than $100,000 (approximately $1,910,000 today). He left his burial arrangements to his wife. She said that he had always said he wanted to be buried on Lookout Mountain, which was corroborated by their daughter Irma, Cody’s sisters, and family friends. But other family members joined the people of Cody to say he should be buried in the town he founded.

    On June 3, 1917, Cody was buried on Lookout Mountain, in Golden, Colorado, west of Denver, on the edge of the Rocky Mountains, overlooking the Great Plains. His burial site was selected by his sister Mary Decker.[68] In 1948 the Cody chapter of the American Legion offered a reward for the return of the body, so the Denver chapter mounted a guard over the grave until a deeper shaft could be blasted into the rock.[67]

    On June 9, 1917 his show was sold to Archer Banker of Salina, Kansas for $105,000 (approximately $2,006,000 today).[69]

    1. Hello, Sammy.

      If that’s true…that Buffalo Bill wanted to be buried on Lookout Mountain…and that’s where he is buried…then what’s the problem?

      Where are we supposed to send the Bill?

      I just hope that wherever Bill REALLY is that he’s happy there.

      All’s well that ends well…I reckon.

      2. Hello JC, please don’t shoot the messenger. I find it odd. Even if though Cody isn’t named for me I would much rather to be buried there instead of lookout mtn. Yoming is the last frontier in the lower forty.

        1. There are some stunningly beautiful places in Wyoming that look out over vast Mountain Peaks and Great Stone Circles of the Ancients with 12,000 foot Craggy Cliffs miles and miles from the nearest human settlement that I would be more than happy to spend the rest of eternity with my petrified bones scattered there, stacked in the sheltered nook of a giant, marbled rock, looking forever West, toward the Far Distant Horizon and the golden setting Sun, way out there .. slowly disappearing .. somewhere off the coast of Santa Barbara .. That would be the most purest death to ever experience ..

          But Cody is not one of them .. That’s just one more Dump of a Million Farm Towns with Miserable Cold Winters and Muddy Streets and Ugly Square Building lined up and crumbling, just waitin’ for the First Bulldozer to come by for a Visit ..

          I would take Lookout Mtn. over Cody any day of the month ..

          If you wanna live the miserable death in Cody for the rest of all time, you might as well have yourself drug off and buried in Mapleton, North Dakota ~ with its One Brick 12 Long Years Schoolhouse that’s been closed for thirty years on the East End of town and Kindergarten up in the Tiny Attic or down in the basement of the run down Little White Church at the North End of town and not an ounce of fresh activity or growth or friendliness or any beautiful mountains or wonderful deserts within a 100o miles since I left it at the age of 6 back in 1972 ..

          Unless, of course, you like that sort of cold and wind and snow on a Bland Treeless Flatland for as far as the eye can see for 9 months out of every year ..

          Not me.

          To be surrounded by the Harsh and Rugged Mountainous Wonders of Nature at its worst is always three million times more beautiful and satisfying and peaceful and spiritual and soul-fulfilling than anything humans think to muck up, even at their best ..

  14. I didn’t know he was a mason. A Tyler is a person who guards the doors to the lodge paying particular attention to who is acomin’ and agoin’. Probably unrelated but interesting. Cody was a neat man. He always had a lot going on. He reminds me of someone….just can’t remember who.:)

  16. What is home? A dwelling? A place where your heart returns to and feels comfortable because of memories? A final resting place? These are just some thoughts. Please allow me to give an example. I was born in a state where my parents resided due to the military. I believe I was weeks old before moving where they were born and raised, which is New York. I moved from there in 1977 to Colorado and have lived here ever since. I now have more years in Colorado than New York, yet I call New York home. I’m not sure if this makes sense to anyone, but thought I would share this.

      1. Hello antigroove. These are very good questions, and I’m not sure if I know how to answer them in a way that makes any sense. Please allow me to turn the table and ask how you would answer the questions you’ve asked.

    2. I was born in West Fargo, ND. I lived there until I was 4-1/2, Mapleton (about ~ 9 miles away) until I was 6-1/2, and Fargo until I was ten. We moved to Tucson, Arizona – a completely different world from the Midwest. I stopped considering Fargo as my “home” when I was 12 or 13. I’ve lived in Texas on and off for a total of almost 25 years .. I’ve lived in Tucson and Bisbee and Paul Spur and Picture Rocks and Benson on and off for a total of about 12 or maybe 13 years .. But Tucson is still my home and will always be my home .. all my teen years were spent there and that’s where all my beliefs about Nature and the Animals and The Rocks and The Great Spirits and the Ancient Ancestors and Hiking and Exploration and Conservation and not abusing what we have and sharing with the Native Americans and the Mexican Americans and the tenebrous thin line between life and death and survival were built – well except for the DMZ and Flugtag and the Berlin Wall Experience and Hurricane Danny and the Comfrey MN Tornado and the Flooding Destruction of Downtown San Antonio and the DJ that got murdered in front of my house in Tucson when I was 13 or 14 and .. ~ but that’s a whole different set of circumstances that affect a different part of me – I will always take Arizona over Texas, even though the Chiricahua Desert of West Texas and the Gila and the Lincoln Mountains of New Mexico and mountains and deserts of Colorada and Utah and Wyomin’ is as much “home” to me as the Sonoran Desert of South Eastern Arizona .. My Home is where Nature welcomes me .. and where nature lets me roam in Peace and Solitude ..

  17. My daughter lived for many years in Golden before moving back to Wyoming. As the story goes…BB told his sister that he wanted to be buried on Lookout Mt. The problem? He had never been to Golden or Lookout Mountain. Why would h want to be buried there? He should have been buried here in Wyoming.

  18. I believe like Buffalo Bill, Forrest’s spot holds special meaning to him. As much as he says it does not matter and I can’t possibly know if it will be found in his lifetime I hope the day will come when he can choose to return to that place.

  24. Reminds me of Joseph. He wanted his bones to go home to be with his father.
    Several years ago some archaeologists found what they were sure was Joseph’s bones in Egypt. When I read it in the newspaper I had to laugh. The Bible tells us he where his bones lie…and it ain’t Egypt. A few weeks later the archaeologists said they were wrong and admitted the remains belonged to another.

    1. My God is ever-present. He can not only whisper thru the brush but He makes the trees of the field to clap their hands, and the rocks to sing a New Song, and that song is also Solomon’s. Uni-verse/One Song. Get the boards ready, we have a little sister.

  31. The spot on witch. Gold Bug: Lagrande asked Jupiter after knot finding the 5′ deep hole “witch eye Jupiter did you drop the bug from?” Jupiter had the wrong eye, the right eye. Right is wrong, left is right. A mirror. My blaze is a giant witch head, hat and all. With her giant hand pointing at her witch knows, just like Frostys hand pointing at F. When someone answers a question of yours correctly, what is one way you to tell them they are correct? Pointing at your nose. I=9 yes? As 9 have gone alone in 81. 81/9=9. SQUARE root of 81 is 9. The symbol for square root is called a radical sign. As 81 have gone alone in rad “i cal sign”. What was his call sign? Liter81. Just saying…. Where does that take me? Well, liter81 people thought might be a literum for literate one. What if it’s literal, liter 81. It works for me, especially with the witch looking directly at a huge rainbow crop circle, and I dont mean just a half Moon crop circle, I mean 7 evenly spaced rainbow lines like on a real rainbow. Oh, the no paddle up yr creek exists there also- no a creek and named “paddle”. Did I mention the giant peace symbol that existed a few miles away from 2010-2016? Oh the Brown is an author about the area. The eye of the witch is a small wood 200′ long and 100′ wide. Oh did I tell you that the ” sign is the same as the second sign and Fenn said it’s only the last inch that counts? The latitudes inch is 32. Not sure though, is that crazy? Seriously is that crazy?

  35. In life the rule makers will tell you what they think is best for you when it is most likely what is best for them. Apparently the same holds true even in death. It would be nice if people, circumstances and time would allow for one to follow their dreams, especially if it is to their final resting place. g

  40. I can think of at least one other person who should have never been moved to Arlington! It’s almost over Mr. Fenn, I trust your gut feeling. You are a true artist, and even though you don’t like to call this your legacy, it will be. Flashlight and sandwich!
