Ursa Major solution
Hello, I have an idea that might be helpful, it might not. I had an Oregon solution that I really liked. But after Justin posted to photo of Beaverhead-Deerlodge national forest I wanted to apply it to this location.
My idea is that if you can get a solution from home, you should have to get an exact coordinate from the poem.
I like to focus on “Her foot of three at twenty degree, Return her face to find the place” because it is the most objective clue. I believe it is referring the feet of the Ursa Major constellation, also know as The Three Leaps of the Gazelle. Each foot is also made of 3 stars which roughly make a 20 degree angle.
My idea is to find three landmarks that roughly, or exactly match the orientation of those stars. Then you can extrapolate the coordinates on earth that match the star, Muscida (the face of Ursa Major - return the face to find the place). This would be the location of the treasure!
I like this solve because it is simply enough to use paper and pen, or can be solved exactly using geometry and geographical coordinates.
If this solution is correct, the hard part is identifying the important landmarks that match the stars and then confirming with a 20 degree angle. Maybe the landmarks make a vector that create a 20 deg angle. The leaps of the gazelle are more of a straight line, so maybe the landmarks make a 20 degree angle in relation to the equator? Maybe the shape has to be rotated 20degs. My original Oregon solution had 3 “bear mountains” that created a 20 degree angle. That felt like a check point to me.
I’m happy to chat more if you think this makes sense or if you have landmarks that might match the shape/orientation of the stars. Maybe they are mountains, lakes, fishing holes, or points of a river.
Side note: I’m surprised I haven’t seen people talking about Justin’s recent instagram story, it feels important
