I know where the treasure of forest Fenn is!

[YesIAmAPyr8]

The chase can only be understood backwards,
But it must be solved forwards...

[csevans]

Here it is

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 answers 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.

An article I found

In September of 1889, Tazewell Woody (Theodore Roosevelt’s hunting guide), John H. Dewing (also a hunting guide), and I, found on the left side of Coulter Creek, some fifty feet from the water and about three quarters of a mile above the creek’s mouth, a large pine tree on which was a deeply indented blaze, which after being cleared of sap and loose bark was found to consist of a cross thus ‘X’ (some five inches in height), and, under it, the initials ‘JC’ (each some four inches in height).

Everyone must be headed toward Coulter Creek now.

I found that maybe 2 years ago or more and as I remember, there wasn't much else that fit, or it dead ended there.

Don't quite get why we should see any connection there. Just because someone carved an X and initials into a tree?

It's been 18 hours since he posted the location. I guess it wasn't there.
