That is a pretty cool legacy to leave. Maybe I will do this if I become frick you rich. Should one leave a plan to prove it's authenticity or let the legend grow?

Thanks for sharing. I was just talking about this with a women I’m seeing who is from New Mexico.

It was actually out there less than a decade. I went on several hunts for it that were some of the most fun experiences of my life. At one point I was sure I had solved the puzzle and tracked down the chest to an old rock quarry north of Santa Fe.
Also took my first ever trip to Yellowstone to look for the treasure. I now try to go every summer and it’s probably my favorite place on earth. Saw my first Grizzly Bear in the wild last August from about 20 yards walking down a trail. Followed another set of possible clues in my mind and came upon a cave that I was sure contained the treasure. Roped down but nothing was there.
Sucks that it’s been found, but I’ll still be going back to Yellowstone every summer I can, only now I can enjoy all the landscape more instead of looking for clues. If his goal was to get people out into wilderness again, it worked on me.

It bothers me a little that five people died as a result of him hiding this treasure.

Well if the guy in the comments is accurate, you were on the right track. Earthquake Lake is just outside the west entrance of the park.

My guess was always in Yellowstone as well. With Fenn as an avid fly fisherman, I always wanted the home of Brown to be Lewis Lake where they first stocked the Loch Leven trout. Somewhere in that Shoshone/Lewis area is where I would of searched had I actually done it. There was some trails in there and certain spot on US 287 I would of loved to have searched.
Firehole River and Nez Perce Creek had allure for me too.

Hebgen Lake was my first guess so on my first trip to Yellowstone we camped at Hebgen for 2 nights. I never found any sort of clue that clicked but If that’s where it was found that means Hebgen Lake would’ve been the starting point

Fenn did not want to give any clues as to where the treasure was found or who found it.
I hate to be the party-pooper, but Finn, having out-lived his cancer by a decade, probably needed the money and retrieved his own treasure.

Was it hard tripping your hiking buddy so you could get away?

Thanks for the gut punch

I highly recommend everyone drive that stretch of road from Silverton to Ouray, one of my favorite drives. Here's Ouray, stayed there again a few weeks ago:

No, shockingly there was an Asian lady on the trail about halfway between me and the bear shooting video on her phone

Pics?
I read where the guy couldn’t give a dollar value of the treasure because it included things like pre-Colombian artifacts that would probably have to be auctioned to see what they’re worth. He also supposedly encouraged the finder to re-hide the treasure and start the fun over again.

Don't forget the train ride from Durango to Silverton. Such a beautiful ride.

I agree. All lives matter.

How soon before BLM claims they deserve the treasure because it represents white privilege.
