This is the biggest clue released by Forrest Fenn to date! The past three clues related to specific locations to avoid like graveyards and structures. This clue wipes out TWO STATES!
Well hell...I live in Utah and I had many more places to hunt. In a live interview on the Today show he would not exclude any other states, but my sense is that it's in New Mexico. He's stated several times now that people have been within 500 feet of the treasure.
Forrest said originally his purpose was to get people out into the woods exploring and adventuring. That his interest was not in the treasure being found but the adventures gained in the hunt. Unfortunately, this clue likely will end the hunt for hundreds...maybe thousands who can't afford the time or expense of traveling out of state to look for the treasure.
Forrest may simply want to see his treasure found before he dies. Or this may be about promoting his current home state of New Mexico. Most of the printing proceeds from this book go to supporting businesses in his home town.
What ever the reasoning, I'm out...well except when I'm in Montana. Forrest spent a lot of time there and had a great love for the Yellowstone area...probably no there though.
Good hunting treasure hounds!

If you're unfamiliar, Forrest Fenn was dying of cancer and decided to create a great treasure adventure for all who dared to dream. He buried the treasure (pictured) worth millions and then laid out clues in a book he wrote. He also put the clues into the form of a poem. Below the poem I will include links to several websites dedicated to the treasures location.
Fenn's Poem
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 answer 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.
