Forrest Fenn Treasure

  Hi Spanishgold1 , I think its a genuine treasure hunt. The book isn't super cheep , but its also not super expensive

 Im happy to help with your quest. Just got a fair amount of things going on at the moment... and havn't got a copy of the book yet.

I bought the book and all I can say is what a beautiful book, and paper he used.  He spared no expense.  Second when I read the book I was not thinking about the treasure, but thinking about my life.  He speaks his mind and writes like he is their telling you a story.  My good friend didnt like his style of writing but I did.  Im reading it again but this time with the intent of finding clues or ideals that he has given, but the first read was to learn about this guy and what a great simple life he had that turned out successful for him.

Be careful what you read on line, or what you see or read from news reports.  Forrest is very skilled in using words that put a meaning in your mind but means somethings else. For example, the news reporters talked about how he buried this treasure for someone to find.  Forrest never said he buried the treasure..  he said he hid it...later on he even corrected the reported in another interview and said I never said that I buried the treasure.. I said I hid it.   So that doesnt mean that its not buried, because he never denied it either,  he just said he hid it.  It also said hear me all and listen good.
So with your research hear him and listen good.

So like I said, anyone that is to far away, but want to help with their thoughts, it would be appreciated.  My 11 year old daughter overheard us talking about the poem and one passage we were thinking what is he trying to say, and she came up with a great clue......  out of the mouth of babes!!!   It may or may not pan out on this one clue but the point is that it was something that I didnt see or think about but she did, so I am looking into it.

Finding treasure or should I say in my case looking for treasure is fun but doing research and not watching t.v. at night is real enjoying.  I am learning so much about history and areas that I didnt even know about.   " the thrill of the chase"

Send me a line, I would love to hear from you guys far away.  For once there is a treasure in my back yard, and not back east where there is a lot of history and treasure to be found.  I live just to far away to go back east, but in my back yard, and I know the county really helps.

Hi
i having not read the book either and only been looking at homefires link, i thought i might have a little play with the poem.

what if the poem is actually a short story. by mixing the 6 paragraphs you get a story, with some stuff only a local would know.

part 5 becomes part 1
part 1 becomes part 2
part 6 becomes part 3
part 2 becomes part 4
part 3 becomes part 5
part 4 becomes part 6

so why is it that i must go, as i have gone alone in there
and leave my trove for all to seek?
i can keep my secrets where the answers i already know
and hunt of riches and old
i`ve done it tired and now i`m weak
so hear me all and listen good.
begin it where warm waters halt
your effort will be worth the cold
and take it in the cayon down not far but to far to walk
if you are brave and in the wood, put in below the home of brown
i give you title to gold.
from there its no place for the meek
if you have been wise and found the blaze, the end is nigh
look quickly down, your quest to cease
there`ll be no paddle up your creek
but tarry scant with marvel gaze
just loads and water high
just take the chest and go in peace

looking at it this way it could suggest a canyon, but you can`t fully get down and need to find a trail (blaze) but need to be careful, enjoy the beauty, but don`t hang around as ther aint no way back if your in the water. suggesting it may be on a  ledge, out of sight from above and below.

just my tuppence worth. still gonna get the book though. sounds like a remarkable character, and to go hide it at his time in life (respect)

hi spanishgold1,
it was just a quick thought , something to play about with,like the punctuation in places suggests it could make different sentences.

even the wording...like part 5 last line. "I`ve done it tired now I`m weak" does not sound/look right.

as for the start of a line with "And" do poems have the same rules as sentences. Like not starting a new sentence with And.

anyway, it would be nice to see how you get along with it.

good luck in your hunt
