Can she and Logan create a steamy relationship from scratch, or are they a recipe for disaster? But he didn't die, and after hiding the treasure in , 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 , 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.
This book describes five years of adventure experienced by one Forrest Fenn treasure hunter and his searcher friends. The preface provides a summary of how his ground search experiences were driven from complex to simplified "Moby Dick" solutions to the chase poem. This overview is followed by a detailed analysis of the hints and clues that supported his Moby Dick solution. While history will likely establish that Melville's Moby Dick was not a core element of the winning solve, this book narrative will hopefully provide insight to non-searchers about the sorts of intellectual and emotional rewards that were associated with this treasure hunt.
This is a prototypic solve, and each step in building this compelling evidentiary base was personally rewarding. The author provides first-hand examples of the risks posed to searchers regarding confirmation biases and rabbit holes.
Coincidences are inevitable in all detective searches for presumed fact associations. This story also describes the evolution of an unfit flatlander with no hunting or wildness experience into a seasoned amateur treasure hunter with a hundred miles of risk exposure.
So while this solve may be viewed as Exhibit A for futile problem solving effort, the fun of crafting these hypotheses should not be understated. This book advances stories and ideas that should be of general interest to the chase community, specialized interest to behavioral scientists, and keen personal interest to citizens of Buffalo and Bighorn Mountain hikers.
This book also includes references to many seasoned searchers who contributed enormously to the chase literature.
It seems a certainty that success in this treasure hunt required indirect assistance from a great many talented searchers who graciously contributed to the chase literature.

Forrest Fenn and his treasure search are what brought them together. The searchers have benefited from it in the form of adventures, crafting their own stories, making discoveries, and finding a sense of purpose driving towards fulfillment. Forrest Fenn has also benefited from the chase in the form of interest in his life, companionship from the community of searchers, special events like the Fennboree gatherings and celebrations, a constant stream of emails filling his inbox, people memorizing his stories, remembering his accomplishments, researching his family, and appreciating his life.
That alone is truly priceless. The Thrill of the Chase goes a long way in showing us what can become of dreams if we give them voice. It shows us what one man can do when he chooses to change the world. That change will not be forgotten, and I am certain the legend will continue.
This memoir includes a true story about a secret treasure and an outrageous dare. Forrest Fenn, the author, has spent most of his eighty years in similar pursuits of passion and now wants others to share in the thrill of that chase. That's why he concealed the cache. All that will be needed are the clues, some resolve, a little imagination, and maybe a six-pack to help celebrate the thrill of a breathtaking discovery.
Anyone can get lucky. But it takes mettle enough to strike the trail, and enough confidence in a maverick to know that the treasure is really there for the taking. Forrest Fenn has authored several other books on the topics of art, biographies of artists, Indian culture, and archeological finds. Winning Craig, the local drag race hero, proves more difficult.
He only has eyes for gorgeous women who are hot in the sack, not grubby tomboys. Reviews Sarah Matell isn't a run-of-the-mill romance heroine.

Anything female, from makeup to chick flicks, is an anathema to her.
Sarah's one concession is her years-long crush on a fellow race-car driver, Craig Keller. Although they are only good friends, she fantasizes that one day she'll outrace him and he'll magically look at her as the love of his life.
Meanwhile, Sarah is the apple of her father's eye, but things change when he hires Gordon Devine. Gordon has big plans, and he and Sarah do not get along. Despite the friction, Gordon asks Sarah to drive a prototype he's developed. She'll do anything to win, and soon everything begins to spiral out of control.
Impulsive and spoiled, Sarah is both enjoyable and annoying, and readers will sympathize with Gordon in this atypical, up-to-the-minute contemporary romance. I wasn't ready to let go of Sarah and her world. It was really a joy to watch develop.
