Imagine finding millions in gold and treasure and being able to keep it with a clear consciounce. Forrest Fenn was diagnosed with terminal cancer and chose to hide a 42-pound box of gold and other (very) valuables for anyone who could follow his nine clues. Ironically, his cancer has arrested, yet he hasn’t gone back on his word. Here are the nine clues with more information from this informative post:
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.
Good Luck!
