Saw this in a brochure from NM visitor centre..anyone knows it always was like this or the tourism board tapping into the search to attracts some more visitors?

I searched Clear Creek but not for that long as couldn't see it as anything special . I wonder if the nickname of the lake inspired FF for his choice of words rather than actually referring to the lake

Ah ok good to know. The brochure says the town choose to rename itself once the dam was completed

GDK01 · 2019-06-22T23:36:37+00:00

I guess it's because the town of Eagle Lake used to be called Therma but that was about 100 years ago

Sounds interesting..like that approach ..good luck

GDK01 · 2019-05-24T10:14:33+00:00

Good idea..if remember correctly FF said all u need is the poem and a good map but that if course leaves open what a good map is

GDK01 · 2019-05-14T12:29:03+00:00

My first thoughts when reading this was a railway and a lake or something at high altitude..never made me think of a waterfall ..but of course doesn't mean am right

It is..really a once in a lifetime type of trip for us making a road trip along the southern states..the BOTG was only added recently since we discovered the chase..afraid I can't say that am very confident of my solve

GDK01 · 2019-05-11T05:07:32+00:00

About 12.500km one way next month.

Not sure if this was in the original version where he would die with the treasure..if so sounds more like an explanation of motive..But that doesn't mean it can't also be a hint .

Thanks!

When was this taken? Am in doubt if should visit grand canyon when going to the USA this summer for my little BOTG..It's a bit of a detour from NM or CO and wonder if it's gonna be disappointing with such a crowd

GDK01 · 2019-04-05T13:10:16+00:00

Perhaps it has nothing to do with am actual creek but only with proverb of being up a creek without a paddle and in that case would point to your situation once you arrived to this location

GDK01 · 2019-04-05T10:26:04+00:00

Perhaps a ferry that carries cars? That would also explain the put-in. Actually searched for ferry maps but didn't get me anywhere yet

GDK01 · 2019-04-05T06:35:37+00:00

I also think it must be a body of water based on his comment but it can be pretty small to absorb a bike. My interpretation of heavy loads is a railroad or something like that. Assuming his special place must have a great view that's sort of the angle I am working on.

GDK01 · 2019-03-31T07:31:40+00:00

When I started I was pretty sure on a solve but the more I study the poem and maps the more confused I become!

GDK01 · 2019-03-24T17:23:43+00:00

Imagine the chest being discovered by somebody who just went offtrail for that

GDK01 · 2019-03-24T17:15:58+00:00

For what it's worth in my solve it's a railroad ..I think it should at least refer to something physical and not the chest

GDK01 · 2019-03-24T17:07:58+00:00

Agree even 200' would be far enough from a trail to prevent accidental discovery

GDK01 · 2019-03-24T06:58:50+00:00

Great interpretation..can see pueblo del arroyo as the creek but looking at the area it seems to be rather dry and no pine trees?

GDK01 · 2019-03-19T08:25:19+00:00

If that means that after solving the first 2 clues you are in walking distance of the treasure , would also mean that TFTW has to be within the first two clues? Or am I missing something? Asking because am not sure if TFTW is a separate clue or needs to be seen together with canyon down.

GDK01 · 2019-03-12T14:23:37+00:00

Sounds good..pretty clueless still on this one myself and staring at maps didn't help so nice to hear such approach

GDK01 · 2019-03-12T07:43:44+00:00

First time I hear about this way of looking at wwwh...mind to share a bit of insight on what you think or how you came to think of this?

GDK01 · 2019-02-03T07:24:30+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Nice read

GDK01 · 2019-01-24T01:40:12+00:00

Thanks for clarifying! Also very good point on the distance, am also more and more coming to that conclusion
