  2. Ah! Looking beyond the obvious message, there’s more to this than meets the eye.

    This suggests it is *possible* to know precisely where it is, and so, in theory, it is possible to know the exact location *before setting off*. Or at least – to know how to position yourself at the exact location…

    Thank you Jenny and Forrest.

    1. I think there’s much more to this than meets the eye, Helen. First of all, the statement makes no sense. ANY weather would include blizzards, dense fog, 3 feet high snow, etc. All things that would make it difficult or impossible to see the terrain. So even if you knew where it was in advance you might not be able to find the place on the ground. Add to that the possibility of forest fires, earthquakes, floods and mudslides and you have the opportunity for road closures or otherwise inaccessibility. I don’t believe there is any place in the Rockies that is immune from all of those things.

      Considering that this is a guy who “thought of everything”, specifically including many of the items listed above, how is it that he could make such a careless statement? Perhaps “it” is not what we think it is, or there is a hidden message in this statement. Perhaps astree is on to it below: maybe “it” is wisdom or something of that nature.

      1. Hi Spoon,

        There are a lot of ways to look at the statement. One is to find “it” in the words “any weather”, and there are many finds in that perspective,

        (just an aside, EA was the Akkadian god of water / wisdom).

        “N. E. weather” is another idea.

        I notice quite a few other things about it.

  3. Pretty much verbatim what I said a week ago…I must add though this post is not talking about searchers. If someone knew precisely they’d no longer be searching. He Is simply stating that he could get Indulgance in any weather *probably) barring a harrowing blizzard of course.

  4. How about we reverse state it:

    If you don’t know exactly where the chest is, then don’t go out looking for it in bad/dangerous weather conditions (of which wintertime in the Rockies is one).

    There might be a little wisdom to be found in that…

  5. A comment about these first 3 Weekly words; they start with the same first letters as the last verse of the poem (also, the same letters appear in ‘mysterious’ )

    A couple assumptions that most probably make: 1) that the “IT” in this week’s words means “the treasure”, and 2) that the implication is that the puzzle tells one exactly where “IT” is. Not saying that’s wrong, and Forrest has previously indicated that the puzzle does lead one to the treasure.

    Some weather can bring on a lots of water, maybe that’s part of the nature of the search.

  6. Interesting. I’ve been on the road and unable to view any blogs for a while. We ran into major problems in NM and had to leave with little time. So, hopefully now I have a bit of time to catch up. Complacency is the misuse of imagination. I wonder if I misused imagination. Now, If you know precisely where it is you can probably retrieve it in any weather. I must be missing clue #9. Perhaps more thought is required because I do not understand how a heavy bronze box can be retrieved in any weather – The Rockies are freezing cold at the moment. Trade in wadders for ice-skates? I think I will stay safe and not venture ice rivers in the snow covered mountains 🙂 I will just stay put and think.

  7. Ok guys I’ve been around the block a few times but this time something is different. I’m feeling confident and it’s a weird feeling. Some loose ends have gelled within the last 24 hours. I’m trying to remain calm but I think I know where several million is and it’s a trippy feeling. We may have a winner shortly. Mums the word!

      1. Numb is the word :). I like stirring the pot I’m a thrill seeker, always have been. I like competition and getting others rilled up, its fun. I can’t swear on it because I didn’t see him put it in there with my eyes but I’m pretty sure it’s in there 🙂 most ppl just roll their eyes when claims are made they about to get a rude awakening.

        Millions in gold found / CNN

        🙂

        1. “Millions in gold found / CNN”

          That’s just the beginning. It will be international news…no doubt. Forrest Fenn’s Treasure! Are you kidding me? Everybody will want to know about it.

          I say DO IT! Wait ’til Spring if you have to…but if you know precisely where it is then go get it now. I wish I knew precisely where it was.

              1. I agree with you, Ed. I wouldn’t search in the middle of winter. A person has to be insane to do that…but the world is full of weirdos…and nothing seems to be stopping them…bless their hearts. 🙂

                Great video, btw. I really enjoyed that. That old guy looked so excited at the prize…at first…LOL!

                Evolution? In “only” 4 billion years? Yeah, sure…(rolling eyes)…Absolutely inconceivable and ridiculous.

  8. ONLY 28 THOUGHTS HERE, WOW.
    I have the 29th, though not original by any means.
    Any weather, or as Jake mentioned, any condition?
    If you have coordinates and you use gps, it’s buried in snow, you could still be off by 9ft, just the breaks with gps.Now with directions, precise directions using landmarks, is snow cover still an issue for final discovery and retrieval? I can’t find a webcam close enough to my spot to know…
