First I would try to find out something verifiable and close by, previously unknown.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75380804 For example?
Then.... prob see what info I could pull on the current location of Forrest Fenn Bronze Treasure chest
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75380804 Curious... did you take up the previous suggestion about it?
"It seems logical to me that a deep thinking treasure searcher could use logic to determine an important clue to the location of the treasure. Is someone doing that now and I don’t know it? It’s not what they say on the blogs that may be significant, it’s what they whisper.”"
Make it logical for the answer to be in the clue.
For example, you could interpret "It’s not what they say on the blogs that may be significant, it’s what they whisper." to be something that is not taken seriously on the blogs.
Then your job would be to read 'the blogs' to find out what is talked about but not taken seriously.
You create reality as you go along (because you are interpreting it anew)I did, browse the blogs. I think the idea that kids might be better equipped to solve the poem isn't taken seriously.
“I think kids have an advantage; Don’t ask me to explain that.” Fenn – (Moby Dickens Book Shop Signing / November 2, 2013)
Talked about but not taken seriously.
I am trying to simplify my solve to the poem:
I'm trying to incorporate the following quotes, as if the answer is already in what I already have around me. Seeing how the Logic for the answer is already in these clues.
"There is no substitute for thinking and planning and observing and looking at maps, unless it is the desire to keep it simple"
so we just adjust and think of the clues more literally like a kid might. Therefore the 3rd clue "town of Green" is probably just the town named Green just outside the mountains.
"Could use logic to determine an important clue to the location of the treasure.
if we are being simple, waters high, mostly likely just means lakes on mountains.
"Heavy loads" could just be loads on the mountains, or snow capped mountain tops.
So the chest is in a mountain range that in particular has a lot of lakes near its peaks. This would be logical, given Fenn flew over the mountain often and has a story about going to a place after first seeing it from above.
The simplest thing would be a classic X on a map. He has even said,
"Read the poem like you were going to put an X on a map."No fancy shapes literally just two lines.
"The blueprint is challenging so...located by the one who can best adjust"
