"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!
