Forest said not to go where an 80 year old would not go. Would he really cross the Madison river 4x all by himself carrying a valuable heavy load? There is too much risk involved with that idea, he could have slipped, fallen, dropped the loot, or even bumped his head and drowned! Crossing the river with small children wouldn’t be wise either and he encouraged families and children alike to participate.
Forrest had written about 9 Mile Hole in his book TTOTC and now it has come out that he also wrote about it in a binder which any visitor could have viewed at any time while visiting him. He allowed Dal Neitzel to photograph the binder in 2019 and stated he could do what he liked with it, including sharing it with the search community. He had previously stated he never wrote about the place anywhere so it does not make sense that 9 mile hole is the place, as he wrote about it and never tried to hide it.
This chest that was "found" could have been retrieved at 9MH, but no way this spot is Forrest's special spot. Too many contradictions. Plus, all the pics of the chest have discrepancies. This ending is either forced/rushed with mistakes showing, or it's all part of some plan by the powers that be somehow.Now if the poem leads to a different place, which I think it does, I'm not convinced there's a physical treasure chest there to be retrieved. If that's the case, how does one know it's been solved 100%?? What's ends this Chase/hunt?
It would not take 25 days for Jack to figure out he simply needed to check directly across from Fenn Rock
Why would the tc be wet at the 9mh spot?
Why would you need a sandwich and flashlight at 9mh? Why would you need an umbrella?

Why would you need to tarry scant from 9 mile hole?
Where are the teeth of the rockies?
Where is the wagon connection? Where is the end if his rainbow?
Where is the clomp of the boot?
How was catcher in the rye connected?
I don't think there is sagebrush at 9mh...is there?

F said the area would be secluded and 9MH has people fishing close by
It doesn't take 15 years to write a poem to this place.
It's pictured in TTOTC. If 9MH is believed to be "HOB", we wouldn't need the most important 1st clue.
There is no evidence of a damaged blaze in the vicinity
Forrest stated the finder would not know why the place was special to him, which means a special fishing spot is out.

The area is not fragile landscape which needs to be protected
