Bunsen Peak from Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park, December 2009 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
It seemed obvious to me. Warm waters. Yellowstone. Geysers and hot springs. Which one? The biggest. Mammoth Hot Springs. When I saw Sheepeater Cliffs on the map, I thought, aha, that’s no place for the meek.There’s a canyon there, too; maybe a couple. But what caught my eye was the blaze, Bunsen Peak.
This is so easy. I’d just put in below the brown wooly Mammoth, hike the trail around the peak until I could see the blaze, look down and see a marvel. I wouldn’t tarry, just take the chest and go in peace.
But, just what does a marvel, look like? And then, if it was that easy, wouldn’t someone have found it already? Hmmm.
I scanned the map. Lots of warm waters. Lots of canyons. Lots of marvels. Maybe this wouldn’t be a cake walk. Better not buy a ticket west yet.
The Fenn Diagrams 
Bunsen Burner…get it
Many searchers have discussed Cinnabar Mountain, Electric Peak, Joseph Peak and Bunsen Peak. I’ve used the USGS Quad and studied the Fenn Clues. I have looked at information regarding the other Peaks as well as ground coordinates of these places. I believe it is not on the Mtn Peaks themselves However, I understand all of the meaning of these places. Well if you are looking at Bunsen Peak, you have, in my opinion, the wrong Blaze.
Quite probably. That arose from my very first peek at a map. As in, I knew nothing then. My ideas of ‘obvious’ and ‘confidence’ have since been tumbled around like dice.
It’s a good thing you never read “Wall of Silver” by Richard Kellogg. Oops, another obsession?
Hmmm.
