Anyone want to search in Denmark?

His sculptures require secret poems and clues in order to locate them. He says each has its own treasure map or poem engraved into stone to steer people onto unfamiliar paths where they’ll discover them.”

Forrest Fenn Turns 88 Today
To the man who hid a treasure chest in the Rockies:
Happy Birthday, Forrest!

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 5 years since a birthday wish for Forrest turned into an invitation to visit his place in Santa Fe. Fascinating man. Astounding collections. I treasure the memory.
