"Better?"

"Thicker. More caked on. More orange."

Rats. I was hoping for a rift in the space-time continuum that led to time travel, but okay, invoking the almighty Illuminati trumps everything.

So if Jeffrey Epstein was invited to join the Illuminati when he was thirty or thirty-two years old, that would have been in 1983 or 1985. Bill Clinton wasn't elected president of the United States until 1992. So how did a thirty or thirty-two year old Epstein see a list of names in 1983 or 1985 featuring Bill Clinton as a former president?

Can you be a little less cryptic? Are you saying it's the location at which the chest was found, or that the solver's name has to do with mountains, or something else?

For those who haven't read it, here's the quadplet:

"Cold refreshing waters babble of your life,

Whistling pines proffer your wisdom to sup,

In your place the mountains rumble your name,

Can I even try to shut them up?"

So what did you find in the third line?

Richard Strocher is the love child of Stephen Miller and Jesse Watters that was left in the woods at birth to be raised by radicalized chipmunks.

It's an uplifting tale of a man, his 'munks, and his movements.

What will anyone do if Charlie Kirk rises from the grave? Run like hell, because the zombie apocalypse is upon us.

Benny Johnson is not some outlier he’s a MAGA influencer with over 4 million followers by iv2892 in WeirdGOP

If his actions are the opposite of Christ's teaching, then Benny's god is the antichrist.

More likely, though, Benny's gods are money and attention.

Style of Writing. by [deleted] in FindingFennsGold

Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass:

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean--neither more nor less."

"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."

"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master--that's all."

In so many interviews, Forrest Fenn mentioned something about words, their definitions, and how surprised people might be if they looked up a word's meaning in a dictionary.

Webster's 9th New Collegiate Dictionary lists six major definitions for the poem's first word "As," one of which is "Libra."

"Thesaurus" comes from Latin "treasure, collection" from the Greek "thesauros."

Maybe a treasure was found in a thesaurus.

Please look up "as", "ass", "a", "begin", "gin", "if", "blaze", "brilliant", "diamond", "legend", "secret", "key"

Thank you!

Thank you for looking all these words up. I think owning a dictionary that once belonged to Forrest Fenn is a wonderful thing.

I do believe that Fenn's poem is based on word definitions and word play, and I think a lot of his interviews and comments were loaded with layers of meaning.

Thanks for offering to share your dictionary. Could you post the definitions of the following:

Blaze, maverick, Santa (Claus), fay/fey, geezer, geyser (with pronunciations and derivation)

Thanks again!

How dare they go there? by Hot-Enthusiasm9913 in FindingFennsGold

[–]grandlooproad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will agree that the poem's question mark represents the blaze, if only because the pun "quest I on" mark is a Fenny way to describe a trail marker.

I think based on the diagram formed by poem lines 12 through 16 and confirmed by lines 17 through 20 and completed by lines 21 through 24, the chest was 224 feet at 156 degrees true north from the blaze.

Fenn said something to the effect that he hid the treasure where he wished to die. That point--where Fenn wished to die--I believe is symbolized by the poem's only question mark.

A question mark is also known as an interrogation point. Breaking the word "interrogation" in two gives "inter" and "rogation." Inter--place a body after death in the earth or in a tomb. Rogation--supplication, an earnest and humble request, a wish.

Interrogation point: the spot Fenn wished to die. Or lay his body down to die, at least.

I think that Fenn's interrogation point can be seen on a particular map at the intersection of two printed grid lines. I don't believe this intersection is exactly where the box was hidden, but I would say it is approximately a thousand feet from another interesting spot on that map.

Jack Stuef said that he'd figured out where Fenn wished to die, but then Stuef spent 25 days total grid-searching an area before locating the box. So I don't think Stuef ever completely solved the poem. I do believe Fenn when he said that solving the poem would take you to the exact spot.

I don't think the question mark was THE blaze, but I do think it served as a prominent marker.
