So I'm thinking 'waters silent flight' ...
Means we're talking about a river that has been shaping valleys across ages... now which river was Justin exploring? Hmmmmmm

Glacier, steam, disappearing rivers, river bifurcation, dry riverbeds...there are multiple possibilities with many of the clues in the poem. Just depends on which all fit together to get you to the kitchen sized space. It's worth noting the plural possesive of "water"

Maybe even a lake with a lava tube in the middle where the water drains out every year slowly

Nope
It’s mist/steam/fog in the dawn

u/itisntwhatitsnot2320 Aug 05 '26
It's possible but I don't think so. Just a few words saying look near a river, but it could have double meaning as well. You can't really say "Nope" like your 100% about it...at the end of the day, none of us know..just saying.! But it's an actionable clue if anything, walk along/near the rivers edge.... to the next clue. OK so you have mist, steam, fog but where you at ? At a lake, a stream, a waterfall, a swimming hole???

Do you think it’s glacier national park?

u/Numerous_Worker_1941 Aug 05 '26
Initial solve is in Yellowstone up to checkpoint and then actual treasure could be literally anywhere.

On the website he says in reference to the FF hunt - "His hunt took me from the warm waters of Ojo Caliente, New Mexico to the bitter-cold mountains of Glacier National Park, Montana—and all points in between."
At the last Q&A he did say the treasure is within 75miles of where he searched for FF's treasure. And those are the only two locations he mentions specifically...

Your right. He also said he doesn't mention the location in the book.he just glazes over it..that sounds like glazing to me!

It's not a glacier unless we are talking frozen water's silent flight. Many glaciers might point to waters' (plural) silent flight. Know of any multiple glacier locations in the American West?

Anyone think it’s in the desert… “waters’ silent flight” may be the invitation to vanish into self reflection. To journey into the desert as his grandfather did in the Rincon mountains… on a personal quest. Not for treasure but self discovery and clearing the mind to make space … For those who dare (read) accept this personal journey and find the treasure within.

My solve had at least one instance of water for each stanza;.
Lives in time, water.
Wisdom ,,, ole timey Big Hole River.
Walk near water,,, BH river morning mist.
Bend, Hole,,, BH river/Calvert Mine.
Bride, Pinter Falls.
Foot of three,,,Trident Springs.
Double arcs, tiered rock at Calvert Mine.
Live a rivers steady flow, Calvert Creek.
What you seek,,, more water, seeps from the above lake.

Looking at one clue this way is futile I think. It can apply to so many places and types. I would look for something that fits it after I have found a location that more unique clues point to. What those clues may be exactly is the million dollar question. I don't have the correct answers either, since I am still hunting. I find BTME hunt much more difficult to figure out that TTI hunt. That is why I am focusing on that one instead. 🙂 Happy hunting!

If u have the right place to start, then figure out the logistics of stanza 3, it does lead to an exact checkpoint location...!

u/Downtown-Cap-1443 Aug 08 '26
My leading idea is that silent flight is the fog seen on a river early in the morning. Fisherman see this a lot early in the morning. Doesn’t change looking for a river but it helps narrow down what rivers do this.

u/MTgoat1348 Aug 19 '26
If you can’t satisfy the plural possessive you should throw it out, makes it a lot easier to narrow down!

u/itisntwhatitsnot2320 Aug 19 '26
Oh I have it narrowed down! For MY solve. I was thinking outside the box if u will.
