The Fenn Treasure Location was this it?

This 8-minute video is a brief account of my 5-day trip to Yellowstone National Park to find Forrest Fenn's place where we think he hid his treasure chest which was found in early June of this year. After believing we found the location, we then could reverse engineer the solves to the poem.

Why does everyone keep commenting on this video?? Jack Steuf the finder told Kpro/Cowlazers this solution is wrong and he never knew "the source". The source duped us... he LIED to Cowlazars in his emails to him from the get-go. Kpro/Cow did several YouTube shows on this "operation Nook" and the source duping us.

I hear people say "Oh, this place is soooo Fenny. If asked two years ago if these photos showed a Fenny location, I think the same people would have said, "Oh God no."

Went there a few days ago....went alone in there on a snowy path.
Found no corrolation to the poem.
No home of Brown and no heavy loads and water high. GPS does not match up.

I'm not buying it.

When Fenn was asked if a handicapped person in a wheelchair could go to the treasure, he said "yes, with a little help." To get to that location you would have to carry them once off trail. Thats not a "little" help.

What about the "nouns?"

Those two marked trees won't last 1, 000 years. Can't be the blaze.

After Fenn asking "did you dip your toe in it? Was it warm? Comfortable?" Nobody even tried this at the lake.

Fenn said from the treasure "location" i can see mountains, animals, with pinyon pine, and sage. You can't see mountains from that "exact" location.

Don't be mad, I'm just showing the discrepancies like people do for everybody's elses solve.

Another searcher by the name sms1949 found other coordinates in the poem that land on the south side of Hebgen lake. Since he shared that info with me I've since found 3 more coordinates in the poem. Maybe its part of the solution, maybe its not. I think its part of it.

The chapter "jump starting the learning curve" Fenn says "my father gave me a look and I mean REALLY look. I was sure a window pane somewhere in Mississippi was about to break."

Really look, Window pane, and Mississippi are all clues.

I'm so glad your team got closure and thank you so much for sharing it. Forrest was an absolute genius.

I debated whether or not to add more comments because I'm not trying to convince anyone this was the spot. Only the Finder can verify it was correct with more pictures of the chest resting there. I was rushed to make this video because I was about to leave town again. This video had minimal explanation but at least gave two possible solutions (one "general", one "correct) with supporting video footage and our verbal explanations.
What I didn't show specifically was the shallow "grave" or possibly natural depression that was between the two trees with the notches and the pine tree where the log and nook rested. Once we moved the sticks and twigs out of the way, this depression was a perfect place to lie down beneath the pines with a canopy of stars above you. When I first saw this place, I too had many of the same questions. It was farther than I expected but such an easy walk. Why this spot instead of under a bunch of pine trees in another area of the same woods. Only his autobiography can explain this, and I doubt the Finder will ever release it.

How would this location have been special to Forrest.

It is a great feeling to wake up on a Sunday morning and see a new video from Cynthia about the Fenn Treasure location. I appreciate the organization of all the disparate facts and ideas about this solution theory into this well done compilation. I am still curious about who The Source is, but I am pretty satisfied with this solution. The team this group makes is a respected group In the search community and you did yourselves credit with this project. Congratulations and thanks for your continued involvement in the Thrill of the Chase.

Cynthia / so sad to hear of Peggy’s passing. My deepest condolences to their family.

Cynthia you ROCK! I have learned so much about Yellowstone from you and Forrest! Thank you! I want to take a warm soak in the Boiling River! I want to jump off the cliffs in the Firehole River swimming area and float down the little rapids! I want to go out to Ojo and slip into the Firehole at dusk. I want to see these birds that are bigger than Grizzly Bears at Shoshone Lake! I want to drag a kayak up that River and camp in the Shoshone backcountry! There’s a million cool things to do at Yellowstone! And I hope to see you there sometime Cynthia! You are the best!

[lorenlujan]

Awesome solve! Love the thinking and commitment!

[firehawk]

is it a coincidence that the lat long is VERY close to Riddle Lake and Solution Creek? It MUST be part of Fenn's "Riddle" and "Solution"

[SSpees]

Still in awe of this completed treasure adventure..

[ivonastrukar]

I know what the Boots on ground solve is, not much else.

Basically you have to count the number of letters of the first part of the poem(till the WWWH part)-and you'll get 90 letters
Then you count the rest of the letters and you get-141 letters

You find on the Forrest Fenn map, where the roads 90 and 141 cross, and you'll find the CO-90 road at the bottom in colorado, and you will follow it to the edge of Colorado, where CO-90 halts at UT(Utah)46 road. And that's the boots on the ground spot.

Cynthia, I don't want to sound like a know-it-all, but Isa Lake does not drain into the Atlantic Ocean. It drains into the Gulf of Mexico

Thanks for sharing Cynthia, I'm happy for your peace!

I guess some people never knew Forrest Fenn. Even when they were the closes to him they did not see who he was. A small part of the poem one scrapbook = the solve for TTOTC .So most of the poem the book never mattered and well over a 200 other scrapbooks did not matter.What was that about HOB birds and something about kangaroo words.What an email from a person with a picture can do. Make you forget everything Forrest Fenn said and was. The wordsmith turns numbers man with one email. Keep digging how deep is a hole I guess we are finding out.

This is a great summary, Cynthia. Thank you for putting this video together for the community.

[amyseeks]

Another great video!!!! What perfect weather for discovery :) And, that truck is freakin awesome!

[DJIcenhower]

You folks sure cooked the heck out of his poem.
