By the way, his 84th birthday is next Friday, so why not surprise him with a “Happy Birthday” wish from all 304 of you blog followers. Possibly my favorite Fennism is found in the Epilogue of his book, The Thrill of the Chase- “And what I’ve learned that’s most important is that both countries and people should know enough to just leave other folks alone and do a better job of protecting our planet.” All in all, it was a fantastic trip/chase. So, I did find treasure south of the mountains when I got to meet the remarkable Forrest Fenn. Fenn….” and hope to catch him off guard with the perfect question. He suggested I pull the old Colombo thing as I was leaving. I was somewhere in Colorado before I got ahold of Mr. (We spent our 24th or 25th or 26th anniversary there. Next month is our 35th, but he’s tied up this year….) I next emailed him from the Gallatin Valley to wish him a Happy Birthday, and he invited me to Santa Fe for a cup of coffee.Ī.) Should I stay on course and hike to a ‘water high’ with just the grizzlies for company, orī.) should I skip my night at the hot springs, which I really wanted to visit, and set my GPS for Santa Fe?įorrest said, “Life’s short and getting shorter.”īesides, I can always go back to Montana with Mr. I emailed Forrest from West Yellowstone and entertained him with my story of not having the right shoes at the waters at the Continental Divide in YNP.įorrest’s response- “You’re having too much fun.” Waterhigh’s blessing (and/or his desire that I find the gold.) I was confident that the chest was hidden somewhere north and west of Yellowstone, but couldn’t rule out the rest of Wyoming, so off I wandered, with Mr. I’d hoped to wait until I had a complete solve, but I knew that the snows come early on the northern Rockies.

I’d like to have attended, and not just to meet the competition, though that in itself might prove fascinating.Īnd not that it would have been really wild, but you never know.Įnglish: Wild thyme in the flower bed of a “garden à la française” in the park of the castle of Champs-sur-Marne (Seine-et-Marne), France. The Fenn gathering at the Loretto Inn and Spa has been canceled. Finally, there are the obsessive Fenn fans, who despite bankruptcy, divorce and the death of fellow hunters, can never quit the thrill of the chase.I know a bank where the wild thyme blows…. Then you have Barbarisi’s own hunt through the wilderness of New Mexico and Yellowstone as he gets caught in the excitement of potential solves. The inscrutable and eccentric Forrest Fenn is a book in itself but Barbarisi also writes of other famous treasure hunts, such as the search for the Atocha. What better way to learn about treasure hunters than to hunt for the treasure himself? Little did Barbarisi know he was about to be ensnared in the obsessive world of Fenn hunters, where it was as much about conspiracies and controversies as it was about finding the treasure.Ĭhasing the Thrill by Daniel Barbarisi is one of those enthralling nonfiction books that really has it all. Intrigued, he decided to write about the enigmatic Forrest Fenn and immerse himself in the world of treasure seekers. Seven years later, journalist Daniel Barbarisi learned about this unique treasure hunt from a friend. Fenn’s memoirs and a six-stanza poem served as the treasure “map.” Solve such obscure clues as “begin it where warm waters halt” and the lucky finder would be in a possession of a treasure worth more than half a million dollars. America’s most extraordinary treasure hunt began in 2010 when Forrest Fenn, an 80-year-old art dealer from Santa Fe, hid an antique chest stuffed with gold, jewels and antiquities somewhere in the Rocky Mountains north of Santa Fe.
