Lets use our collective autism to solve this riddle and find 2 million dollars of gold and other shit buried by this dude /biz/.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenn_treasure

People are literally dying trying to find it but normies are plebs.

The actual treasure

>> No.8023085

Fenn, a former military pilot turned millionaire antiques dealer in 2010 concealed treasure somewhere in the Rocky Mountains between New Mexico’s Santa Fe and the Canadian border. This bronze chest, filled with valuable paraphernalia, jewelry, archaeological wonders and gold coins, has been estimated to be worth several million dollars, and the only way to find it is by using the clues in a short poem.

Here is the short poem. He claims that you can find the treasure using this and nothing else:

As I have gone alone in there

And with my treasures bold,

I can keep my secret where,

And hint of riches new and old.

Begin it where warm waters halt

And take it in the canyon down,

Not far, but too far to walk.

Put in below the home of Brown.

From there it’s no place for the meek,

The end is ever drawing nigh;

There’ll be no paddle up your creek,

Just heavy loads and water high.

If you’ve been wise and found the blaze,

Look quickly down, your quest to cease,

But tarry scant with marvel gaze,

Just take the chest and go in peace.

So why is it that I must go

And leave my trove for all to seek?

The answers I already know,

I’ve done it tired, and now I’m weak.

So hear me all and listen good,

Your effort will be worth the cold.

If you are brave and in the wood

I give you title to the gold.

>Jeff Murphy, 53 years old, of Batavia, Illinois was found dead inside of Yellowstone National Park on June 9, 2017 after falling about 500 feet down a steep slope. The details of the investigation into his death by Yellowstone officials were not made public but KULR obtained the facts through a Freedom of Information Act request. KULR-TV reports that Murphy was searching for Fenn's treasure. According to KULR, Murphy's wife told park authorities that Murphy was looking for said treasure when she first reported him missing.[15]

>Pastor Paris Wallace of Grand Junction told family members he was searching for a buried treasure and later failed to show up for a planned family meeting Wednesday June 14, 2017. His car was found parked near the Taos Junction Bridge and his body was subsequently found 5–7 miles (8-11 km) downstream.[16][17]

>Eric Ashby, 31 years old, was identified as the treasure seeker found in the Arkansas River on July 28, 2017. On 26 January, 2018, Fremont County Coroner's Office received the DNA report from Colorado Bureau of investigations positively identifying Ashby. Ashby is the third reported death in search of Forrest Fenn's treasure.[18] It is alleged by some of Ashby's family members that Ashby had moved to Colorado in 2016 to look for the treasure, and was last seen on June 28 rafting on the river, 10–15 miles (15-25 km) upstream from where the body was found. The raft overturned and Ashby had been missing since that time. [19]

>>8023171

Forrest has said that multiple people have given him the correct solve for the first two clues - and that multiple people have been within 200 to 500 feet of the treasure, without even realizing it. Presumably the same ones. This tells us that the 9 clues probably refer to a very small area. Like a few hundred feet total. Not miles and miles and miles. People who have solved #2 correctly - got within 200 feet of the treasure.That means that it’s highly likely that clues #3 through 9 are also within 500 feet of the treasure chest!

As I have gone alone in there

And with my treasures bold,

I can keep my secret where,

And hint of riches new and old.

>1. Begin it where warm waters halt

GF/Money is not some magical fix that gives you happiness. They are amplifyers of feeling not creators of joy.

If you are depressed a gf and tons of money will likely result in your suicide/death one way or the other. If you are happy a gf and money will complete it.

It has in the past, the money part at least and not a ton of it. everyone has a minimum level of comfort and freedom that money can buy and for me I am nowhere near that level.
I'm not talking lambos and f22s in the garage here, i suspect theres plenty on here who would say the same, right now im renting a tiny flat and earning dirt-tier money that means i have a monthly budget for food.

i was earning 4x what i am now back in 2012 working with a small family run firm selling fucking gourmet coffee wholesale, i grew up with one of their sons and nobody there gave a shit what they paid the staff. they sold up and the new company obviously didnt want to pay us all comfy wages so i left.
back then i didnt have to make decisions like 'is it cold enough to justify having the heating on tonight'..

your advice is sound for those with their head in the clouds, people who reach whatever their level of contentment is (and for some it will be high end luxury) yet still need to keep going beyond to be happy, you shouldnt presume this is the case for everyone here

Ive just had a look, it does look amazing but not sure theres much to actually do there. Looks a place to live rather than visit.

Houses are very reasonable.
Just look up Alice lake, sawtooth mountains, or McCall, ID.
Plenty to do
