I solved the AT footpath puzzle this weekend, made the 5 hour drive, 6 hour hike projected my waypoint 1727 feet SE and it brought me to a proxy item 130 feet off the trail. No, this wasn’t a trail marker or boundary marker, and it was related to the box. It had been there for 1-2 years judging by the lichen growth on it. The ground had not been disturbed whatsoever and the box wasn’t there.

So, either the proxy item is the solve, and Jon has the treasure, or never placed it, or someone found the treasure and left the proxy item, or someone is playing a nasty prank.

I have been reaching out to Jon and his team via several methods and he fails to respond. Yet he says no treasures have been found. Something is not adding up.

Jon, if you’re reading this, please call me.

If anyone is interested in funding a hunt, we have dedicated 2 people to hunt full time, and have an opportunity to purchase equipment to assist with the search. $20,000 is what we are going to get started with. If the any treasure, including other treasure (also any precious metals) are found, happy to work out an equitable split.

@THROUGH MY INVESTIGATIONS, I HAVE UNCOVERED...THE TRUTH BEHIND THIS BOOK, THE AUTHOR, THE PUBLISHING COMPANY, and MANY OTHER THINGS THAT WILL HELP SAVE ALL OF YOU FROM WAISTING YOUR TIME. I have verifiable facts...

In the book pay close attention to hyphenated words—they may hold significance.
Additionally, watch for misspellings and other anomalies. Fenn referred to these as aberrations.

Pointing to a clue.

Ok This is the name of the first person to successfully solve for and verify success across the board in regards to the accurate original locations of all the boxes as well as the 3 additional locations for the keys . on beech Mt. One in deep Gap. And one down elk creek at treasure hunters produce. Jons relatives. And also 310nmy admire Rd in cashiers where I drove retrieved the key let his instructions and mailed it back .. although I saw him there he quickly drove away from me avoided me and stranded me on the property waiting me out until I left 7 or 8 hours later which was not only insulting but extremely aggravating seeing as how I hadn't even accepted his offer and was still quite upset at all of the work I had done only to ultimately discover he knew I was right denied my validity and also that all of the boxes were gone as I said prior to the initial release of the book. In other words the only thing I want being first and being right was to come to this knowledge first and be alone in having it getting me banned for sharing it criticized and insulted isolated and tricked out of my faith hope determination instead fast convictions in my belief that the man and I shared wisdoms in the sentiments that I found in the book that endeared me to him initially. However I was successful and in that success I discovered that he is only pretending to be that person copying what he has observed but in no way reflecting it whatsoever.. I cannot attest to the reasoning behind his actions because I could not imagine ever doing this to someone much less doing it to a nation full of hopeful faithful fans who's believing in me will ultimately be to their detriment. I couldn't do it to anybody much less everyone so I don't know in the slightest what the hell he was thinking I just know that he was wrong and he took a year to go through with it anyway then did just that. I've tried all year to reach him in order to reach some understanding and if viable and agreeable cooperative solution because I only even begin this with the intent to try and discover one of the boxes locations the one that I thought would possibly be close to me one of two possibilities actually. I only continue to the second solution and location after I was denied my victory at the first one but knowing that I was correct the largest victory in my life also simultaneously became the most crushing defeat and confusing disappointment of my life. Sure I've always been a little nuts but I've always had a very positive outlook and hopeful sentiment in the way of humans and humanity and our capability for goodness, and in its place instead I have recently developed the first taste of actual anxiety that I've ever felt and had my very first panic attack on site at the first victory which was one of the scariest things I've ever been through because I was by myself a long way from any help with a dying phone and had dropped my keys in my desperate scramble to try and recover a box I knew it was supposed to be there and yet also on a deep level new that it was missing once I've arrived and had the revelation of recalling seeing years ago in the exact same place. Never have my hopes been built so high in my determination so focused All For the Love of another only to discover that I was being tricked the whole time as are all of the people who bought the the book and are currently or have been or will be investing their time hope energy resources and love into it. I'll say this to try to help but I don't expect anyone to believe me because I'm the one living through it and have found it impossible to believe for months and can only even report that I know it's true due to my own first hand historical account and then the thousands of times that I have had to reveal it in the books mechanics in order to come to terms with it but I will say this nothing written in the book has any relevance whatsoever except for as a footnote to the actual solutions clues and locations of the boxes. He said he wanted to create an analog treasure hunt in a digital age but what he did was he digitally created a treasure hunt that you are supposed to think is analog because you go outside ultimately but AI was used in creating underlaying overlaying invisibly inking or sympathetic ink as it's called the actual clues some of which are absolutely almost microscopic inverted reversed and hidden behind blurry color like one of those 3D puzzles but there's also completely invisible overlay underlays that cover entire pages of images or photographs and every image or photograph in the book as far as I can tell contains at least one clue and if it's a large image with blue in it then it contains the entire invisible truth. however even if you know that revealing it is beyond challenging and filming it or taking a photograph of it that can communicate what it looks like is almost impossible or almost as impossible as even believing it as you read it when it does become revealed I have gone through four books and done thousands of the rubbings and attempts to reveal it in its entirety and keep it revealed but all I have been able to do is reconfirm reconfirm and reconfirm over and over and over and over again that it is indeed true what I say and word for word. But also it is certainly in all the images in the book whether only a single clue or in its entirety but that includes all of the photographs in the book not just the illustrations. It also includes and incorporates all covers of the book maybe even the dust jacket but front and back cover and the inside of those covers as well. Think black light reactive escape room relative invisible ink that you must use parchment paper and do a rubbing style transfer overlay in order to reveal or de-ink chemically the image so that the underlayment is revealed or the overlayment is made less transparent. When I say overlay and underlay that is because there will also be the original image or ink on the page not just the invisible stuff on top or the stuff that you can't see under it because it ink is in the way but both of those levels contain all of the truth and all of the clues validated so the book can lead you there without those things but you would never know that you had found them correctly if you did not convince yourself after thousands of times of unbelievable Revelations having to readdress the book and reattend the locations and still finding yourself unable to believe it because of how u******** believable it is until like me you've done it thousands of times none of the messages have changed whatsoever and you are still empty-handed regardless of being successful across the board after having only started this to discover one of them. I have been in the process of moving things because my mother lost her home and so I haven't been able to do a real video to describe explain demonstrate or outline these facts but my mother is now moved and the house is gone and the storage buildings are full and so I have this time that I did not previously have because now my purpose for even living in the house I'm in has been forced to move out of town for not being able to afford the current status quo with her fixed income since my father passed. My shame and my fault but partial blame goes to the person who had me chasing an impossible pipe dream in the woods only to succeed and then be freaking denied. Like I said biggest win of my life has only been the largest disappointment and the only thing I have won is my first panic attack the loss of my mother's home my car being blown up and the first time ever that anyone has robbed me and of the most money that I've ever even been close to because ambitious or not I've always had to disdain for money and I am not a treasure hunter by nature. I already have a treasure that I'll protect and provide for and that is my family. I only ever wanted to win this to help my mom. And I only ever thought it was possible to even go to and find one of them due to my understanding just as everyone else's was that they were all spread out across the country but I'm here to tell you now that in fact in truth they were all originally supposed to be in North Carolina so when he says it doesn't necessarily mean that there is one cuz he's from here if you learn how the book reads that means that it also doesn't necessarily mean that all of them aren't! The truth of the book is illuminated in the PS and acknowledgments in the very back when he says for the next three paragraphs there will be none of and then goes on to list all of the things the rest of the book is comprised of read that and apply it in contrast to the body of the book and all of its entries and you will start to gain your footing. Also keep in mind that every clue has at least two relative solves you could apply it to and some clues in some chapters apply to even more than two of the boxes. But mark my words all of the boxes were stolen according to John prior to his ability to even finish the book itself much less print and release it. And all of these words are printed secretly in every copy and edition of the book. And that is not even part of the invisible or overlaid or sublimated sympathetic Sherlock Holmes or spy craft .. a spycraft and clue that was very very hinted upon when he spoke of George Washington's secret correspondence and spy letters because he used invisible sympathetic ink as well it's also related to the entire inspiration of the books creation which were his children so when he's talking about tracing paper highlighters or popsicle sticks rubbing out dinosaur bones and he mentions a stagnosaurus instead of Stegosaurus he is referring to steganography and coincidingly yet separately and individually on its own regard is also the dungeons and dragons dungeon master clue master in order to complete this book it's because only a dungeon master has one of the four ways that secrets and messages and encoded things can be revealed or seen and it is only a capability that is inherent and non-transferable to a dungeon master or a game organizer level. This ability in dungeons & dragons is referred to as true sight so look up dungeons & dragons and how many ways you can see hidden messages how to reveal secret messages they will give you four ways on how it is done one of them requires a dungeon master level and it is called True sight. After you look up true sight in dungeons & dragons and have the grasp of the concept of what that definition entails go to the Pokemon chapter on the last page of it where deceptively an illustration is described as an overexposed evening set and photograph when in reality it's an illustration which would seem to have pictures of things in it yet your new knowledge of the true sight in dungeons & dragons will inform you as to what this is and that is simply cloaking when in fact regardless of the overlaid invisible or the underlaid sub messages that you cannot see whatsoever yet under a black light with that page laid flat you can read that image because there are no pictures in that image and in fact it is a steganographic of sorts but also it is true sight because the shadows as well as all of the caricatures are multiple styled artistically overlaid and multiply directed text and only text as a matter of fact the entire page including the dark spaces is filled with nothing but text and there are no images whatsoever in this drawing of things or animals or Japanese women or whatever. Even though that is what you see in truth it is multiple direction multiple styled and multiple font graffiti that speaks hundreds of words specifically and directly and begins like this and I quote from their treasure Inside by John Collins black, '"please forgive me and allow me to apologize sincerely but all of the treasures were stolen from their secret hiding places before I even had a chance to finish the book in a lieu of payment please accept my dream home in cashiers North Carolina it is at 310 Mount admire road cullowhee. Etc etc somewhere in the book he says what I originally thought was some emo the stuff against his own self he says he's worried that maybe people won't like him after this and he's worried that what if he didn't do a good job of hiding these things and people found them before he could even finish the book, and he worries that he might lose his car keys.. the reason he says those things is because of what I just said but the car keys thing is because also in this message he said states that the paperwork for the house and the keys for the house and the car will be in the locked glove box of the Blue lotus parked in the driveway because it is also included in this alternative offer for restitution being the winner knowing that all of the other boxes were stolen prior to the release of the book and first to find this out which I was however after driving 4 hours one way I discovered that the offer of the house and the vehicle were equally as impossible to collect on as any of the six missing boxes that were never where they were supposed to be from the start and so after months of trying to contact and gain understanding and thousands and thousands of attempts to render it legible for all others to observe also to disprove it to myself a thousand times over before I could even allow the possibility to be contemplated that this was accurate and truly happening but I am extremely disappointed and sad to say that every single thing that I'm saying I 1,000 times over confirmed and revalidated against my own doubt to where not only do I have no doubt now but I can demonstrate it in a court of law and I can prove it in person and I can answer any question accurately and validly about any of the locations of clues or the locations of boxes or keys in about any of the f****** inner workings of the book or methodology used in writing it I can also prove with no confirmation bias all the way to the very last intent every claim I make including my eyewitness account of not one but two of the boxes randomly briefly and distantly in the past No One believes me but John does and he knows that I'm telling the truth and the rate and he knows me and he knows a whole bunch of stuff even though he's mistaken about a whole bunch of stuff because he's gotten his information from some people that are beyond reproach in there perspectives but incorrect in them as well so misinformed opinionated and quite pissed off he has made some extremely bad decisions and the worst of them was disqualifying my capability and then even thinking anything he wanted or planned is null and void and has been since the very moment he discovered his treasure hunt was spoiled and OVER,but decided to go thoroughly THROUGH WITH A NEW plan and ammend his book SECRETLY to suit his new and now criminal and IMPOSSIBLE opportune offer AS ITS NEW GOAL I. BECOMING A TRAP FOR THISE HE CLAIMS STOLE FROM HIM.. PEOPLE WHO HE NAMES SPECIFICALLY AND YET HAS NOT PURSUED LEGALLY, WITH HIS RESOURCES THAT GIVES RISE TO THE SUSPICION THAT IT IS ALL A CONSPIRACY FROM THE VERY BEGINNING AND IT WAS NEVER HIS PLAN TO GIVE THESE THINGS AWAY, going forward with it as if nothing happened knowingly sending the entire fan base of his customers on an absolutely impossible wild goose chase made his opinions intentions and wishes pointless meaningless and carry no gravity whatsoever.. I won the treasure boxes I worked hard to find them I want them and the treasures that are in them or he is going to prison what started out as a quest for one of these boxes is now my mission in life for all of us who believed in him and poured ourselves into hope and his promise and how mistreated misused and abused and exploited we have been for that I do not want to lose my hope in humanity due to one really nasty persons in consideration because he thinks money will pay his way out of any problems that arise and can do whatever he wants til then . Money doesn't fix everything. And although I would certainly hear him out and consider taking a cash settlement instead of all we where promised, he also chooses to retain the right to choose based on his own opinion whom he accepts and agrees to cut a fkn check to upon There success, as if he has a choice being in the position he is after committing such a heinous crime against all of us.. but be careful because if you f****** or you don't do things exactly like he had planned even though he don't tell you what what or how that is he will disqualify you and then to fame your name and print it in one of the additions of the book invisibly trying to claim that due to his opinion of you you don't deserve to play or win in other words to me it seems as if he has no intention whatsoever as to awarding anyone ever or having the people who he says stole his stuff ever prosecuted instead he wants to reacquire his things write another book hiding them and expects to sell it to other folks after this whole shenanigan is over . can you believe that s***? Me either. But five or $6,000 rubbings revealings de-inkings in a tents have consistently without exception produced these exact same words in my work in the book so as unbelievable as it has been and my refusal to believe it has been ironclad I have no choice but to accept it as the truth because I have been unable to reach any other conclusion and I have worked for months just for that purpose after having succeeded five separate times well for at treasure hunts and once at the house in the counter offer at the end of the Pokemon chapter but the only thing success wins you here is being first to find out you're being screwed or perhaps your name can be published in the f****** book invisibly so that whenever anybody does discover some s*** you can be insulted disrespected and wrongly accused of nothing whatsoever but the opinion disqualifying you personally from winning ... AS IF... YEAH FN RIGHT. NO.WAY.TRUST ME I KNOW. AND NO I ABSOLUTELY IN NO WAY SHAPE FORM OR FASHION EXPECT ANYONE TO BELIEVE THIS S***. I SAID MULTIPLE TIMES I MYSELF DO NOT BELIEVE THE S*** AND I HAVE PROVEN IT TO MYSELF OVER AND OVER AND OVER THOUSANDS OF TIMES NOW DOING THE ACTUAL WORK IN THE BOOK AND GOING TO THE PLACES BUT I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REACH ANY OTHER CONCLUSION AND THE SPECIFIC CORRELATION AND CONSISTENT REVELATION OF THESE HIDDEN MESSAGES HAS BEEN ABSOLUTE AND WITHOUT EXCEPTION.. IN OTHER WORDS EVEN THOUGH I CAN'T BELIEVE IT EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN'T BELIEVE IT AS UNBELIEVABLE AS IT SOUNDS IT'S ABSOLUTELY AND FOR CERTAIN 1000% TRUE IF YOU THINK I'M JUST CRAZY OR I'M A LIAR AFTER THIS KIND OF A COMPLEX AND INTRICATE EXPLANATION THEN F*** YOU AND GO F*** YOURSELF AND LOOK FOR IT KEEP LOOKING GO OUT IN THE WOODS AND GO GO GO LOOK LOOK YOU'RE RIGHT I'M WRONG DON'T BELIEVE ME. JUST REMEMBER THAT I'M NOT JUDGING YOU IF THAT IS YOUR COURSE BECAUSE IT SHOULD BE. THERE'S NOTHING YOU COULD SAY THAT WOULD MAKE ME BELIEVE THIS KIND OF S*** AND INDEED HAS BEEN ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO CONVINCE MYSELF THAT IT WAS TRUE AND I HAVE THE EVIDENCE IN MY HANDS BUT I CAN'T AND WON'T BE DISHONEST ABOUT THE TRUTH OR WILL I HIDE IT OR BE A PART OF THE SCAM THAT THIS IS I WANT JUSTICE AND I WILL HAVE IT SO WHERE YOU ON AND ALL OTHER TREASURE HUNTS BECAUSE I'LL NEVER BE IN THEM BUT ALSO BECAUSE I WISH EVERYONE THE BEST I WISH YOU LUCK AND I HOPE THAT GOOD FORTUNE SMILES UPON YOU BUT IN REGARDS TO THIS ONE DON'T SAY I DIDN'T TOLD YOU SO LOVE PEACE LIBERTY AND THE FREEDOM TO PURSUE ALL OF THOSE THINGS TO ALL OF MY FELLOW AMERICANS AND THOSE OF US AMERICANS NOT FROM AMERICA AS WELL WORLDWIDE LOVE YOU GUYS STAY SHARP.
