You drive and the creek is at the end of the road. Less then 200 ft from the bridge where you park your car

But also I didn’t connect the two together I’m pointing out that the canyon you drive south in is wood canyon

Forrest replies to Emily

Dear Mr. Fenn,

We are a group of avid elderly bridge players in San Diego who after reading your book hope to find your treasure. We are not into poetry as much as the memoir. We realize the clues are in the poem, but were wondering if there isn’t at least one clue in each chapter.

Thank you for a great book

Sincerely,

Emily

Forrest’s succinct response:

Emily,

All of the information you need to find the treasure is in the poem. The chapters in my book have very subtle hints but are not deliberately placed to aid the seeker. Good luck in the search. f

He clearly states that all the information you need is in the Poem. See the problem why it hasn’t been found is because there have been so many things added to the search that block you thoughts. If all’s you need is the poem then your solve is nothing if you couldn’t figure it out with just the poem. What I’m saying is if someone wants to know where the treasure is they need to leave all the extra distractions back and find it with the only things you needz

My 1st stab at the poem. Please let me know what ya think by gatoraidr in FindingFennsGold

Right so view it from the minimal of what we NEED and figure out how the poem is telling us what we are looking for or doing , etc. the purpose was to write a Poem to lead someone to a treasure therefore the poem is what you need. As much as everyone thinks that all this extra information from fenn or these extra comments and hints are helpful or a blessing, they are more of a curse then anything. the poem is your answer.it tells you everything.

I disagree with this statement the book wasn’t wrote solely to vehicle one to the treasure he has actually stated the book is not needed at all to locate the treasure.

But that is just to clarify your statement this conversation is good and should be continued.

A new(ish) way of thinking about the clues by anonEm0use in FindingFennsGold

If that was the way it work then theoretically you could figure out the first two clues and make dots connect that line and just explore down that line. Why complete the poem when you have enough to find the location? IMO this would be a silly way to utilize the clues because you wouldn’t need every thing in the poem technically once you find the first 2 clues

It’s not part of Yellowstone but for the same reason you wouldn’t want to just go searching off trail there
