Seeking Adventure And Gold? Crack This Poem And Head Outdoors
March 15th, 2017This is a bit like, Ready Player One, but outdoors.
Well, assuming that there is a chest of gold out there…
Just buy Forrest Fenn’s books to read the clues. *wink*
On a more ominous note, I hope the guy is aware of rubber hose cryptanalysis! It’s probably best to wait until you kick the bucket, like James Halliday did in Ready Player One, before attempting a stunt like this, gold or no gold.
Via: NPR:
Somewhere in the Rocky Mountains, there is a bronze chest filled with gold and precious gems. The search for this hidden treasure has become a hobby for some, an obsession for others, and for one recent searcher — a fatal pursuit.
The man behind the treasure is Forrest Fenn, an 85-year-old millionaire, former Vietnam fighter pilot, self-taught archaeologist, and successful art dealer in Santa Fe, N.M.
“No one knows where that treasure chest is but me,” Fenn says. “If I die tomorrow, the knowledge of that location goes in the coffin with me.”
