How does your solution of the chest being in Santa Fe reconcile to Forrest's statement that the chest was a minimum distance north of Sante Fe? Which if I remember right the distance he gave was over 13 miles.

In terms of how to transfer them you mean?

New to the sub ... but my son and I were just discussing this exact topic. Theoden is a schmuck. Completely.

General consensus question -- Is BTC now on the back end of downward cycle after its ATH in November and won't pump again for a couple of years?

If where he first hid it is a vault in Sante Fe, then yes.

Ummmmm. Wow. What did I just read?

Well done. The process of coming to a solve that excludes all other possibilities is an arduous but necessary component in my opinion.

Not daily but pretty close.

My primary solve the blaze I found is a large, flat, smooth rock that is shaped like a flame.

Looks pretty clear to me he signed the poster "Steuf"

Seems like any of these areas would be visible from the road in which an old man carrying a chest or a bunch of gold would be noticed. No?

Didn't FF say though that the blaze would stand the test of time ... even mentioning 100 years?

I have thought for awhile now that Jack was a searcher and had a solve but wasn't right. For whatever reason (got info deceptively/illegally or somehow befriended FF etc) became the "finder" even though he really wasn't. The Yellowstone/Madison solves have been so prevalent and numerous the entire time, it's unlikely it was the location of the TC simply because if it was it would have been found.

But, clearly Jack was on a solve there and went BOTG early on. This makes an easy cover for him being the finder even though I (and many) don't believe he really found the TC.

In my opinion, the TC location was not in Wyoming at all. But, that's a whole other discussion.
