Fourth Q & A with Forrest Fenn

Forrest Fenn's Treasure Chest

Forrest Fenn’s Treasure Chest

Q.   When you wrote the poem, did you start with the first clue or the ninth?

A. ” I knew all along where I wanted to hide the treasure so I didn’t need a map or any information to write the poem. Everything was in my head. It took me a while to get the wording exactly how I wanted it.  Counting the clues and hiding the chest came later. It is not likely that anyone will find it without following the clues, at least in their mind.”

  1. Hello waterhigh,

    You have a wonderful blog, and a beautiful outlook on life. I’ve long read, and admired, your adventures; but I’ve never taken the time to express my pleasure, and thanks for your efforts.

    That said, I do have an ulterior motive for taking the time to do so now:

    Can/would you provide the date you received this email??

    And, do you have any more you would like to share?? 🙂

    Happy New Year to you and yours…………loco
