I enjoy listening to this fount of wisdom. Interview here.
An Uncut Interview with Forrest Fenn
Tag Archives: Forrest Fenn
The Finder Comes Forward
This may be as close to closure that we searchers will come. For now, anyway.
I’m happy to hear his story and understand his desire to remain anonymous, but a certain litigant and judge have made that impossible.
FYI. Dal is shutting down his site, The Thrill of the Chase. (A current message from Shiloh today.)
Dal has made Forrest’s Scrapbooks available to anyone who wishes to download them.
And now, let’s let Fenn and his family rest in peace.
Swag : Stuff We All Get
Not everyone got the same thing. Door prizes. This was mine. Love it.
It’s going in the map chest Mr. W altered for me to store my arrowhead collection in.
I would love to have chosen the signed book, Seventeen Dollars a Square Inch, about artist/renaissance man Eric Sloane, but my number was called too late for that gem, or Copper Dan’s magnificent art pieces.
Much appreciation to those whose efforts made the event possible. I was looking for closure in the form of the true solution to the clues in the poem, but that’s not looking likely at this point.
All in all, what a great Finale. Rest in peace, Forrest Fenn.
2020 Event in West Yellowstone
Finale = the close or end of something (Merriam Webster.)
Getting There —
West Yellowstone —
Searchers (not “finders”) gathered for a weekend of fun.
Going Home —
Not until we were well on our way home, just ahead of the massive snow storm, did we hear the news of Fenn’s passing.
One treasure found. One treasure lost.
Fenn’s Finale . . . . Rest in Peace
Announcement and messages on Dal’s site, here.
More, here.
He passed just a day after many of his searchers gathered in West Yellowstone for a Finale, since he announced in June that the treasure had been found. I’ll share photos of that later, but for now, just pausing to remember his legacy.
Forrest Fenn Finale Event–Labor Day Weekend
Closure?
Maybe, maybe not.
Celebration?
Yes.
Where?
West Yellowstone and Yellowstone Park.
Who?
Cynthia is orchestrating it. Dal is presenting. Toby is streaming it. Fun and games. Picnic. Brunch. And mixing it up at Bullwinkle’s.
Details at this Link.

Also, your chance to be in a legacy group photo (socially-distanced, of course) on the Fishing Bridge.
High noon.
Don’t be late.
Sharing a Sweet Message : My quest — Up A Cold Creek With No Paddle
The Keeper of the Bees
A story almost a hundred years old. A soldier, wounded inside and out, walks out of a facility and, in time, finds healing.
Shell shock.
Jump to today. Same story. New name.
I listened to a podcast recently about a group (begun) in Texas called Hives for Heroes. Commendable. Give it a listen. They are also on Facebook and at Hives for Heroes . com.
I’m only in my second year of beekeeping but I get it.
Bees are mesmerizing. So organized, with a uniform goal of survival and yet independent.
And share with us such sweet rewards.
UPDATE– It’s Wyoming.
It’s a start. A new message from Forrest Fenn reveals the treasure was hidden and found in Wyoming. That was my first solve.
Can’t wait to learn more someday.
The message below is posted on Dal’s site: The Thrill of the Chase.
SUBMITTED June 6th, 2020 by Forrest The treasure has been found It was under a canopy of stars in the lush, forested vegetation of the Rocky Mountains and had not moved from the spot where I hid it more than 10 years ago. I do not know the person who found it, but the poem…
via THE CHEST HAS BEEN FOUND!!!!…part fifteen — Thrill Of The Chase
Forrest Got His Bracelet Back
Photographic images verifying that the chest was found and the turquoise and silver bracelet is on Forrest Fenn’s wrist again. The LINK.
The bracelet is unique in that the beads are mounted flat. A lot of history there.
Again, congratulations to the finder of the chest!

It’s [Finally] Over

Details to come.
Forrest Fenn’s Treasure Chest
I for one can’t wait to learn the meaning of each of the clues that so intrigued me for the last several years. I hope the person who found it, who for now wishes to remain anonymous, will share DETAILS. So curious as to what led him to the precise spot.
Thank you to all 485 followers on WordPress and the 85 who followed this blog via email. It was fun to create a blog and see what happened. The Fenn Diagrams will remain up until my annual paid fee expires early next year. Then I think if goes to a free version and loses the formatting. Adds may appear before it floats into oblivion.
I’ll post links to the updates as they are posted. Imagine you are all as curious as to who and and how as I am. It’s been a joy. Thanks again.

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