Treasure hunt!

This is for real - an elderly treasure hunter has hidden an old Roman chest full of gold and other valuables worth over a million dollars somewhere in the Rocky Mountains, and has written a book that contains a poem with nine clues as to where the treasure (or where the title to the treasure) may be found:

quote:





As I have gone alone in there
And with my treasures bold,
I can keep my secret where,
And hint of riches new and old.

Begin it where warm waters halt
And take it in the canyon down,
Not far, but too far to walk.
Put in below the home of Brown.

From there it's no place for the meek,
The end is ever drawing nigh;
There'll be no paddle up your creek,
Just heavy loads and water high.

If you've been wise and found the blaze,
Look quickly down, your quest to cease,
But tarry scant with marvel gaze,
Just take the chest and go in peace.

So why is it that I must go
And leave my trove for all to seek?
The answers I already know,
I've done it tired and now I'm weak.

So hear me all and listen good,
Your effort will be worth the cold.
If you are brave and in the wood
I give you title to the gold.

Forrest Fenn



There is a lot of information on the web. Blogs, videos of television interviews with additional clues, etc

He says it is yet to be found, though some of the seekers have came within a few hundred yards of it

Happy hunting!
