“Daniel Barbarisi plunges into an adventure from another era when he goes in search of buried treasure, guided only by a cryptic poem, a mischievous art collector, and the footsteps another pursuer who died on the quest… Every page draws you deeper into this no-man’s-land where fortune—or tragedy—awaits.” —Christopher McDougall, author of Born to Run When Forrest Fenn was given a fatal cancer diagnosis, he came up with a bold plan: He would hide a chest full of jewels and gold in the wilderness, and publish a poem that would serve as a map leading to the treasure's secret location. But he didn't die, and after hiding the treasure in 2010, Fenn instead presided over a decade-long gold rush that saw many thousands of treasure hunters scrambling across the Rocky Mountains in pursuit of his fortune. Daniel Barbarisi first learned of Fenn's hunt in 2017, when a friend became consumed with decoding the poem and convinced Barbarisi, a reporter, to document his search. What began as an attempt to capture the inner workings of Fenn's hunt quickly turned into a personal quest that led Barbarisi down a reckless and potentially dangerous path, one that found him embroiled in searcher conspiracies and matching wits with Fenn himself. Over the course of four chaotic years, several searchers would die, endless controversies would erupt, and one hunter would ultimately find the chest. But the mystery didn't end there. Full of intrigue, danger, and break-neck action, Chasing the Thrill is a riveting tale of desire, obsession, and unbridled adventure.
"Forrest has spent most of his life saving things, especially photographs. That's why it's been easy for him to illustrate this book. He apologizes for showing so many pictures of himself and justifies it by describing this volume as his scrapbook of memories. He has tested the extremes in his personal life, in business, and in combat, where he learned that some of the edges were closer than he thought. Those stories are collected here. He describes his mistakes as being ample, but whispers that none have weakened his ardor for the chase."--Jacket flap.
The tale begins over three-hundred years ago, when the Fair People—the goblins, fairies, dragons, and other fabled and fantastic creatures of a dozen lands—fled the Old World for the New, seeking haven from the ways of Man. With them came their precious jewels: diamonds, rubies, emeralds, pearls... But then the Fair People vanished, taking with them their twelve fabulous treasures. And they remained hidden until now... Across North America, these twelve treasures, over ten-thousand dollars in precious jewels, are buried. The key to finding each can be found within the twelve full color paintings and verses of The Secret. Yet The Secret is much more than that. At long last, you can learn not only the whereabouts of the Fair People's treasure, but also the modern forms and hiding places of their descendants: the Toll Trolls, Maitre D'eamons, Elf Alphas, Tupperwerewolves, Freudian Sylphs, Culture Vultures, West Ghosts and other delightful creatures in the world around us. The Secret is a field guide to them all. Many "armchair treasure hunt" books have been published over the years, most notably Masquerade (1979) by British artist Kit Williams. Masquerade promised a jewel-encrusted golden hare to the first person to unravel the riddle that Williams cleverly hid in his art. In 1982, while everyone in Britain was still madly digging up hedgerows and pastures in search of the golden hare, The Secret: A Treasure Hunt was published in America. The previous year, author and publisher Byron Preiss had traveled to 12 locations in the continental U.S. (and possibly Canada) to secretly bury a dozen ceramic casques. Each casque contained a small key that could be redeemed for one of 12 jewels Preiss kept in a safe deposit box in New York. The key to finding the casques was to match one of 12 paintings to one of 12 poetic verses, solve the resulting riddle, and start digging. Since 1982, only two of the 12 casques have been recovered. The first was located in Grant Park, Chicago, in 1984 by a group of students. The second was unearthed in 2004 in Cleveland by two members of the Quest4Treasure forum. Preiss was killed in an auto accident in the summer of 2005, but the hunt for his casques continues.

In 2010 former Santa Fe art gallery owner Forrest Fenn published his Memoirs in a book that contained a cryptic poem, that if deciphered correctly could lead a person to a treasure chest filled with gold nuggets, coins, and gems worth over a million dollars. Fenn says he hid the bronze chest full of loot somewhere in the Rocky Mountains north of Santa Fe in 2009 or 2010, and Cynthia has been searching in northern New Mexico for the elusive trove since January of 2013. This book contains some of Cynthia's favorite Fenn treasure search stories punctuated with color photos so the reader can vicariously join her and her Weimaraner dogs Emma and Molly as they travel from their home in Rio Rancho, NM to places like the Rio Grande Gorge, the Jemez Mountains, Taos, and the sleepy old-Western ski town of Red River. In addition, for the reader who may be interested in solving the poem and putting his or her own boots-on-the ground to search for the treasure chest, this book can be used as a guide to get a new searcher started. Included are four pages of Forrest Fenn quotes that may help decipher the poem. Fenn's cryptic poem is included, as well as a page of criteria that Forrest has stated publicly over the last 7 years. There are several pieces of advice from Forrest to Cynthia the author as well. Included is a chapter dedicated to the Charmay Incident that occurred on various blogs in the fall of 2015 after Charmay (Fenn's publishing partner) told Cynthia at the La Fonda Book Signing where Forrest said he wanted to die. Included is the rebuttal letter written by Cynthia and Forrest to appease the conspiracy theorists, but was never published, until now. There are several pages dedicated to what the blog readers have coined Rabbit Holes, as well as a few snapshots of Forrest in his home with the author and friends. And lastly, strewn throughout the book are the author's interpretation of which lines in the poem are the NINE CLUES.

"THE SEARCH IS OVER! FORREST HAS CONFIRMED THAT THE TREASURE HAS BEEN FOUND (6/6/20)." This thrilling announcement, covered by national news, was originally released by an eccentric old man. A brilliant expert in antiquities as well as a wilderness explorer in his younger days: Forrest Fenn. Masterfully, Fenn selected a multi-million-dollar collection of gold, gemstones and artifacts to stash deep within the savage wilderness. Why? This chest was his legacy. He invited the entire world to embark on the now-famous adventure of a lifetime. With hundreds of thousands of searchers invested in this chase, Forrest offers nothing but a cryptic 166-word poem to mark the end of the "rainbow." The Author solves the riddle over the course of three years and seven separate search attempts. He finally reaches out to Fenn with his triumphant discovery. Later... Having found that which has been long sought after, the author digs even deeper to uncover the truth behind Fenn's legacy, only to discover a slight distortion. There was a falsity that went just a little too far. Forrest Fenn had surely crossed the line and it must be called out. Now to prove it! There were several options to prove Fenn's lie, but providing The Solve was always the most elegant. What better than to go out with the final card? It was the same card my opponent held and refused to play. So the final answer must be revealed, and my story would be told. I do realize several books on the topic of Fenn's Treasure have already been published. Over the years, I've seen some compelling solves. Some are creative and some are downright bad. Either way, I think it's fair to say most of us had fun playing the game. I suppose it's also fair to say, most of us are disappointed by how Fenn's game came to an end. I understand some will want proof before they buy my book. Well, posting a picture of the gold would be a shortcut. but. . . On May 28, 2020, just nine days before the announcement about the chest being found, I walked into the UPS store and mailed Forrest Fenn a package containing a letter and a rock. My letter contained a map-not my map, but the map. It was his map, The Solve. I sent Fenn a map and a four-sentence letter thanking him for the adventure of a lifetime. According to my shipping label, the contents of my package also included rock. Not just any rock-It was a specific item that I had carefully chosen to enlighten Fenn to my right-thinking and my willingness to prove it. It was an unmistakable artifact that Fenn would easily identify. The USPS tracking code has long since expired, but the Shipment ID: MMN870SK8S1Q3 can still be verified at: theupsstore.com The final solve, the map, and the end of the riddle are finally revealed!
