Geocache Description:


This cache is NOT at the published coordinates

 

The Fenn Treasure was a treasure chest of gold and jewels hidden in the Rocky Mountains in the United States. The chest was originally placed in either 2009 or 2010 and the contents were believed to be worth over 1 million USD. All one had to do was solve the poem published in one of Forrest Fenn's books. The picture below shows just some of the contents and the mastermind behind the hunt.

In June 2020 the chest was finally found bringing an end to this decade long hunt and Forrest Fenn was able to see his chest found before he passed away on 7th September 2020. The solution to the poem was never publicly revealed.

 

The puzzle:

 

A = I can keep my secret where

B = Not far, but to far to walk

C = Put in below the home of brown

D = As I have gone alone in there

E = Begin it where warm waters halt 

F = And take it in the canyon down
