I always figured it was somewhere near Agua Caliente Canyon, NM. Largely because it was in the right elevation, had the types of brush Fenn said he could smell there (which he later said he wish he had not commented on), was within a range that a sick or dying Forest Fenn could get to fairly quickly (he talked about wanting to go there before he passed away, if he was dying), and Agua Caliente translates as Hot Waters (noted in the poem). - I never got a chance to look, but it will be interesting to find out once the location is revealed.
- harrylove 6y agoNo bs, I searched that canyon about four years ago. Had a blast hiking those trails and saw some beautiful country, but came up empty. Totally worth it.
- ethbro 6y agoI'd be fascinated to hear how well marked the exact location was. If it was truly natural, undisturbed cover & dig in a specific spot... wow!
- neuralzen 6y agoI believe it was near or in water, but not buried from what I recall of Fenn's comments about its location (he said it was 'wet'). He said the location he chose reminded him of a plateaued area with a waterfall that he found in the jungles of Vietnam, with a forgotten soldier's grave.
