Here is something for you to think about during those long cold winter nights while you are waiting for gold season to start. Who’s up for a good treasure hunt? I think that I first read about this treasure in March of 2013. Forrest Fenn, an art dealer in Santa Fe New Mexico and a self made multi millionaire has put together a treasure of gold nuggets, gold coins, gems and some ancient artifacts with a value of over a million dollars and has hidden it somewhere north of Santa Fe New Mexico. The treasure map is a poem penned by Forrest Fenn :
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 answer 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.
