Forrest Fenn - Brown's National Wildlife Refuge The Blaze of Glory 2018-11-20 | I know my face is distorted. It is the old computer and editing program I used. I'm not going to redo this. In a couple of months I will come into the 21st century and do a better job on my videos. A Home of Brown: I went out to Dinosaur Valley National Monument and the Brown National Wildlife Refuge. This video is about the latter. It is a nice "Home of Brown". This is in the upper left hand tippy-top corner of Colorado. Colorado is known as the headwaters state. This river - the Green River - is the only river in Colorado that does not have its headwaters in Colorado. The Green River starts out really blue up at the Wind River Range and Gannett Peak.~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn -- The fishing pole The Blaze of Glory 2019-05-26 | This ain't it. I can tell you something else. If Forrest walked around on some of these drift wood piles, he would have broken his neck. I still like beaver dams, driftwood, dead trees, and big log jams on the river during snow melt as a place for "in the wood". The obvious problem is one of permanence. Every spring, the floods wash it all away or rearrange things.~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - OUAW - Addendum The Blaze of Glory 2019-03-22 | I decided, rather than re-uploading that large Book Review file, I would just do an Addendum. I left out a few things when I rushed that first video late at night. This short video addresses what was omitted the first time around.~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - Book Review: Once Upon A While The Blaze of Glory 2019-03-20 | This is my book summary and commentary of the third Forrest Fenn memoir, Once Upon A While. I see little that could be relevant to the treasure hunt, but there are a few common themes in the things that Forrest speaks of. There are things that may tie into what is special to Forrest: (1) Nez Perce Indians - who went through the area of Madison Junction and Ojo Caliente Spring; (2) The price of freedom, the statute of the wolf in a steel-claw trap, and the references to amputees; (3) the cave, Dabich and bear hunting, and a map reference to the area between Yellowstone and Cody; and (4) key words, such as "imagination", "secret", "alone". Update: I found another error: p. 45, the Kittens football team was not junior high, but junior varsity. The pictures from the yearbook are of when Forrest was in high school, and in the high school yearbook. What is that: Three errors? The other two: cavalry was spelled as calvary; and the Irma hotel/restaurant was spelled as Erma. Update: I forgot to add something else I noticed, as far as parallels. On p. 27, 1000 copies of The Loom of the Desert were published. Remember Forrest initially only published one thousand copies of The Thrill of the Chase. I'm going to step out on a limb here. I believe the last chapter: The Price of Freedom may be revealing on several levels. It certainly had multiple emotional connections for me. But, I will address any additional issues of that chapter at a later time. ~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - Seeing Double The Blaze of Glory 2019-03-17 | I haven't been feeling well... I'm seeing double. I did a double take. I ponder the double entendre, double meanings for clues, the double omegas, the double eagles, the double Madisons, double geysers, etc. Don't drink too much green beer. :::: I want to find a pot of gold - Fenn's gold - at the end of a rainbow somewhere. Will the luck of the Irish help? :::: I have worn this hat for 10 years, it was the biggest I have found, but only one of two that fit my big head. I had the biggest head in my high school graduating class, and it's only gotten bigger ((keep the smart alec remarks )). This hat came from Costume Super Center . com (I think). I have a shorter hat with a bigger head hole, but I like this tall one; People look at me funny.

Forrest Fenn - Temple Texas The Blaze of Glory 2019-02-23 | Well it's the off-season. I visited the hometown of our favorite treasure hider, Forrest Fenn. I know the treasure is not hidden there. But, this is about studying the man. I was intrigued by the tree at the cemetery, and by the fact that the Santa Fe railroad is in Temple, where it used to be the Katy Railroad. I also found a place where Forrest Fenn "went alone in there"... where he jumped into the Leon River.~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - No Creek? The Blaze of Glory 2019-02-12 | Forrest Fenn wants us to all think, read slowly, have imagination, and go for therapy afterwards. My latest disturbed thought is that there may be no creek at all. What if we are simply "up a creek without a paddle"? We have no hope! If we are up a creek without a paddle, it fits well with "no place for the meek" and being "brave". ~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - Six Questions & My Put-In Question The Blaze of Glory 2019-02-05 | Today we heard the 2019 Six Questions with Jenny Kile. Then we heard that Forrest Fenn is through with the annual ritual, and that he is curtailing is treasure-related social activities and email readings. This is terrible news for those of us who send in our search solutions. I don't know if his withdrawal is because as he said previously that he really has no more to add, or if it is because of declining health. I wish Forrest well whatever this disclosure may mean. Then, I have a question for the community about the "Put in below the home of Brown". If we are following the clues, rather than a road or trail, why do we ever need to put in, such as putting a boat in? We are following water from Where Warm Waters Halt, through the canyon, and to a spot below the Home of Brown.~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - The Artistic Tear The Blaze of Glory 2019-01-26 | This is a taste of several videos that I will produce this summer. The big whoppers will have to wait until I have had another crack at the search. This "artistic tear" was once discussed on Dal Neitzel's blog. I am not aware of anyone else pointing out that this was in fact a fault line, so I shall. The image in the book is little different than looking at the fault lines plotted on a map along the North shore of Hebgen Lake. Is this a meaningful hint within The Thrill of the Chase? We were told to find "the clues that are scattered among these pages". ~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - Sacajawea AND Lewis & Clark The Blaze of Glory 2018-12-28 | As a side stop on my Forrest Fenn travels, I went to the Sacajawea grave site outside of Fort Washakie, Wyoming. This is along the base of the Wind River Range, and along the Wind River. It was Glenna Goodacre who sculpted the winning design for the Sacajawea coin, minted by the U.S. Mint. And, it was Forrest Fenn who handed Glenna a lump of wax and encouraged her to sculpt.~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - No Purpose & No Focus The Blaze of Glory 2018-12-25 | In the State of Fenn... Montana: The Treasure State. This video is sort of about the Forrest Fenn treasure hunt. It is really an eclectic collection of photographs that may or may not relate to search locations. I also address those who use derogatory language and insults directed at me. Then, I wander aimlessly through the mountains and along the riverbanks. I then thank Forrest Fenn, in a condescending sort of way, for getting me out into the wilderness. To those in the media or others who might be interested in the latest big story on the Fenn search, I am certainly seeking a large donor, a sponsor, or perhaps a media outlet that would subsidize my travels in exchange for a few days together in new search locations. We can go to my special search spots. We can discuss disclosure of my big secret discovery. And, we can work on a solution to publish a detailed expose on how I got there. Maybe we can end with a big reveal of a treasure chest ! ~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - Madison River (downstream) The Blaze of Glory 2018-12-22 | The Forrest Fenn treasure hunt has taken many searchers to the Madison River. Having already covered other sections of the river, this video covers the area downstream from Earthquake Lake, in the area known as the flats. It is a wide valley, with no pine. However, there are many creeks that go back up to the mountains, everyone of which may fit the poem.~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - Madison River (upstream) The Blaze of Glory 2018-12-18 | How can you be on the Forrest Fenn treasure hunt and never scope out the Madison River? The Madison is a busy place, even beyond Yellowstone National Park. Between motorists and fishermen, you will never potty alone. I have at least observed the whole thing, as well as the Firehole River and the Gibbon River upstream. Here, we begin at Ojo Caliente and travel downstream to Baker's Hole. I forgot to mention in the video that there is both pine and sage along the Madison in western Yellowstone. ~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - Lamar Canyon The Blaze of Glory 2018-12-16 | Here we go. This trip takes us through Lamar Canyon, Lamar River, Soda Butte Creek, and Slough Creek - in Yellowstone National Park. I didn't find a blaze, but I found a great deal of buffalo. If Osborne Russell wanted to do any trapping here today, it would probably be limited to buffalo.

Forrest Fenn - Medicine Lodge The Blaze of Glory 2018-12-15 | This is about my visit to Medicine Lodge (not to be confused with Medicine Wheel) at the Bighorn Mountains. This is a petroglyph site, and not a very good one. This was another one of those stops in the middle of nowhere that I made, as a bit of a side stop, while on the Forrest Fenn treasure hunt. Incidentally, you would have to walk a little ways further up to get above the 5,000 foot threshold. ~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - The Highway Men The Blaze of Glory 2018-12-12 | I mean, "The Highway Hole". In the off-season, research is in high gear. I have been revisiting and clarifying things that Forrest Fenn actually said, versus what he has been accused of saying. I have revisited the Thrill of the Chase. I have several new secondary search sites to visit, after I tackle my pinpoint search location. Today, I am speaking on the discovery of the location of those pictures in TTOTC pp. 122-124. I called this report on "The Highway Hole", "The Highway Men". Apparently, the whole Fenn family went to this secret fishing hole. They may have been the real "highway men". It is amazing to me how so many hours of "Running Shoes on the Ground" can pay off. I know the Yellowstone region now so well that I can give expert advice on exactly where a photograph was taken in 1942. Observation: Look at the postmark that starts the chapter "Flywater". Sunday - in the United States - is the 1st day in the week. Then the 23rd day appears. So, 1 + 23 = 123.... the key secret pictures are on pg. 123. ~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - The West End of Hebgen Lake The Blaze of Glory 2018-12-11 | The Forrest Fenn treasure hunt has taken many of us searchers up and down the Madison River. You already saw my photographs of Red Canyon, Grayling, Cabin, & Rock Creeks, as well as the Rock Slide. I produced this video as a consolidation of other pics and sites around the western end of Lake Hebgen. We go in a "C" shape travel pattern from the north side, Kirkwood Creek, the dam, Watkins Creek, and South Fork Madison River. Did Forrest Fenn want to leave his bones up the side of the Mountain, along the aptly-named Coffin Creek, overlooking Lake Hebgen?~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - Popo Agie & Subterranean Rivers The Blaze of Glory 2018-12-03 | Like other Fenn treasure hunters, I visited Lander, Sinks Canyon, and the Popo Agie River. The thing is I visited four places that have subterranean rivers. This one was probably the most un-inspiring of the four. As for the treasure hunt, I see no way that the clues can get you here. If you go "up your creek" from Lander, you are going up a river, and it has many creeks and dry washes that fork off. So, which one do you choose. Visit Sinks Canyon if you are in Lander, but don't make a special trip.~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - Book Review: Too Far To Walk The Blaze of Glory 2018-12-02 | This is my review, analysis, and synopsis of the Forrest Fenn book, Too Far To Walk. This book is all about the life and times of Mr. Fenn. I think there are only a few snippets that could relate to the treasure hunt. However, there are three things in this book that are most critical: the preface in the front, the map in the back, and the unintended clue in betwixt. Fenn does tell us in this book that the path can be sure, for those who know the certainty of the location, before going boots on the ground. I think this means we can solve the hunt from a desk, contrary to other statements I'm looking for three things: 1. a picture of the waterfall at Fenn's compound; 2. a first-printing of the TFTW book, so I can see the original errors; and3. if anyone has identified those original errors, to determine if they might be clues to a location.~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - Cabin Creek The Blaze of Glory 2018-12-01 | One of the many creeks I went into on my Fenn treasure hunt was Cabin Creek. This is north of the Madison River, up and between the Hebgen dam and Earthquake Lake. There, and parallel to the highway for miles to the East South East, the earth cracked open along the fault line, revealing a 12 ft rock scarp (vertical separation). It is a nice hike, especially if you are into geology. The problem is you can only get into the creek near the trail head and a couple of miles in, but nowhere in between those two points. As for the campground, despite it being a primitive campground (Gallatin National Forest), it has fewer mosquitoes than other sites. But, the ground is rock... very difficult to drive a tent stake into. Enjoy the thrill of the chase. ~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - Teddy Roosevelt The Blaze of Glory 2018-11-30 | I could not help but think that President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt was certainly not meek. Could the lodge named after him be the "no place for the meek"? I finally went through there early one morning when I could get a parking spot. I hiked the short trail, along the creek, behind the lodge that went up to a small waterfall. I also forgot to mention, that while I am on a trail, the trail peters out just shy of the falls. It would be a precarious walk over loose, sloping rock to get to the falls. There were certainly plenty of rocks and trees to conceal a treasure chest. It might be worth looking above the falls, but I don't think it is legal to get there because of the bear management area. After I finished this short hike, I was really left with an un-Fenny feeling about the place. ~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - The Rock Slide @ Earthquake Lake The Blaze of Glory 2018-11-30 | The Forrest Fenn treasure hunt takes us to the rock slide at Earthquake Lake. This short mountain collapsed, damming up the Madison River, during the 1959 earthquake. Could this be the blaze? Could it be the "no place for the meek"? Join me for another travelogue on my hunt for the Forrest Fenn treasure. When this mountain collapsed, it took 20 seconds to complete the process. Those who were not instantly killed had their clothes stripped right off their bodies by the hurricane-force blast of wind that was created by the air displaced as the mountain fell.~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - Rock Creek The Blaze of Glory 2018-11-29 | The Forrest Fenn treasure hunt has taken me - and apparently a number of other people - to Rock Creek, near the end of Earthquake Lake, Montana. The lower end of the creek is really a neat place, great for a quiet and shady walk. That clear and blue pool of water just above the highway is a must to see. If there is a treasure chest here, I wouldn't know where. All of the rocks and boulders look alike. None stand out, and all could conceal a bronze box. But, that water is painfully cold and the creek is near impossible to walk around in.~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - Grayling Creek The Blaze of Glory 2018-11-24 | Well, here we go again. The Forrest Fenn hunt takes me to the lower part of Grayling Creek, one of Fenn's early fishing holes, along the north short of Hebgen Lake. The mouth or delta of Grayling Creek is impassible due to these shrubby tree things. There would be no blaze or other clue to point us to a specific small area in that jungle. It is a tangled web of vegetative mess. The creek goes farther north and across US Hwy. 191 up into some shorter mountains. ~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - Red Canyon The Blaze of Glory 2018-11-24 | The Forrest Fenn treasure hunt takes me into Red Canyon, on the north side of Hebgen Lake. Now, I did not go 50 miles as Forrest did in his younger days. I only went past the logical range and steepness that an 80-year old man could possibly manage. Trails like this would make a geology student drool...walking across a fault line and vertically-faulted rock strata. It is a creek off of Lake Hebgen, and it is a place with a storied Forrest Fenn history, so it was / is worth a look. Most of the clues / hints fit here, but I'm not sure about all of them. I could have looked better around those large vertical rock strata, but I would not have been brave, cold, in the wood, etc. It's a nice playground. Be careful not to get run over by the dirt bikers. ~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - 50 Miles to School The Blaze of Glory 2018-11-20 | This is my comment and photos regarding the one-room school house in Wyoming that Forrest Fenn tells of. No one has disclosed where that school was. I think those with access should ask Mr. Fenn. The roads have changed a bit since the 1940s. I'm sure he went a different route than would be traveled today.I forgot to mention that the Kepner Building was a teacher's college building where they trained teachers many years ago.~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-

Forrest Fenn - Book Review: The Thrill of the Chase The Blaze of Glory 2018-10-16 | After two trips to the mountains, I finally decided to read the instructions. I have now read the book, The Thrill of the Chase. This video is a review of the notes that I took while reading this book. I am not commenting on the whole book, but only covering those points that stand out to me as possibly being relevant to the treasure hunt. There appear to me to be factual inaccuracies in this book. This book reminds me of why we used to have book burnings in front of the town library.

Forrest Fenn - Pyramid or Rock Cairn? The Blaze of Glory 2018-09-24 | The Forrest Fenn treasure hunt has taken me to places that tourists have never seen, and to places that backcountry backpackers have better sense to go to. This was a remote location that quite frankly is "too far too walk". But it was so inviting. I saw this white "blaze" at the mouth of the creek. But, Google Earth told falsies again. I didn't see either the white pyramid or the large white rectangle. Both appear to have disappeared. When I went dolphin-flippers-on-the-ground, these white objects were not there. Where did they go? Were they washed away? Was it an illusion created by reflecting sunlight? Should I go back? Should I go swimming? That river in front was too deep when I was there. There is a remote waterfall up the creek that I have never found a picture of. I mean no one goes in here. Maybe that's why it's so attractive.There was something about this creek that I won't share, but it also compelled me to go search. And yes, the clues persuaded me there to. I could follow the clues of the poem to this location, with one slight modification. It fit okay with the 500 foot reference too... a trail is 500 feet away, but you can't go in a straight line. You will walk a lot more than 500 feet to get to it. But, I didn't find anything.~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - A Strongbox at Earthquake Lake The Blaze of Glory 2018-09-22 | In the 1800s, currency and gold were commonly transported in a strongbox. Well, I found one. This steel/iron strongbox sitting on a large pylon - and on top of a water depth gauge - with a padlock and cable, under the Beaver Creek bridge at Earthquake Lake. The loose rock embankment was steep and unstable which definitely discouraged me from taking a closer look. Maybe a treasure chest is sitting in that box. P.S. The picture is a bit illusory. You don't get the scale. You will need a step stool to reach that box as well. Bring your acetylene torch.~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-

Forrest Fenn - WWWH - What or Where? The Blaze of Glory 2018-09-20 | The Forrest Fenn treasure hunt has taken us into new territory. We are now debating words in the poem. Simply put, we cannot know "where" WWWH, until we know "what" WWWH is, and we don't agree on that. Forrest Fenn said, "There are many places in the Rocky Mountains where warm waters halt, and nearly all of them are north of Santa Fe. Look at the big picture, there are no short cuts. ". I opine that the "big picture" may be a clue. There is a debate that "waters" may be a reference to singular or plural waters... If God is gonna trouble the waters, he is referring to a lake or ocean, not to a molecule of water. A little tiny hot springs in the mountains may not fit with a big picture perspective. For me, the calderas, geyser basins, and even the New Mexico fishing regulations fit better with a "big picture" interpretation of WHAT we are looking for. I also forgot to mention the Canyon in Yellowstone. It is along the edge of the caldera rim. Steam vents spit out small amounts of warm water along the canyon walls, and down stream, there are no more... they have halted or ended.~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - A Hidden Fishing Pole The Blaze of Glory 2018-09-12 | In the hunt for Forrest Fenn's treasure, I have made two long trips to the northern Rockies. Most of the places I visited did not hold promise in my mind. But several spots in one area I am obsessing over. The last spot that I honed in on in August, 2018, fit the clues of the poem better than any other place yet. And, I found a secreted red and yellow fishing pole.

Forrest Fenn - Bighorn River National Recreation Area The Blaze of Glory 2018-08-19 | Devil's Canyon overlook is on of the few places that you can access the Bighorn River National Recreation Area by car. It is a highly remote, desert environment straddling the Wyoming and Montana state line. It is conveniently, barely included on Forrest Fenn's highlighted search map. It is at the north end of the Bighorn Mountains, and just below the Little Bighorn Battlefield. Forrest commented about his heart being at Little Bighorn and in his revere of the Indians. The poem can take you here, if your WWWH is at Thermopolis, and you go down stream/canyon to the Bighorn Ntl Recreation Area. I have no clue what the Home of Brown would be, or no place for the meek. I do recommend a tourist-y visit just because it is a nice canyon and is seldom visited. A the Devil's Canyon overlook, you can get vertigo.

Forrest Fenn - I Will Share My National Forests with You The Blaze of Glory 2018-08-19 | Forrest Fenn said he was willing to share "my" national forests with you. Did they become his, just because he cleared trails for the NFS. I have found some old trails that probably were from his day. I have gone places normal people would not go, and yet I see where recently, someone bushwacked their way up into these creeks.

Don't waste your time or money on that. It was suggested that Browning could be the Home of Brown, and it is downstream from Glacier National Park. Nothing fits here. There are no trees; It is grassland. It is the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, which might relate to "meek" and "brave". However, I don't see "the end" or "up your creek" or "in the wood", etc .

Forrest Fenn - Warm Water Port The Blaze of Glory 2018-08-02 | Forrest Fenn and "warm waters halt". It was suggested earlier this year by a couple of Fenn search tubers that "Where warm waters halt" could be glaciers. The only time water stops circulating in the water cycle is when it is frozen. A "warm water" port is not warm, just not frozen. So, you could freeze to death in a "warm water port". The only place where warm waters halt is a port that freezes over at least briefly in winter. Should we consider Glacier National Park, or the baby glaciers in the Wind River Range as a place where warm waters halt.

I didn't fall on the hike though. I fell off the highway. How embarrassing.~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - My Secret Creek The Blaze of Glory 2018-07-22 | I finally made it up my steep secret no-name creek that I have been trying to get into for three weeks. This is one of those "white" cascading waterfall creeks that people pass by everyday, but they don't see it. Get out of your car and take the time to see the scenery. This place fits the clues of the poem very well, but not the True Stories tourism commercial.~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - The Totem Cafe The Blaze of Glory 2018-07-22 | The Forrest Fenn treasure hunt takes me to the Totem Cafe, known today as Bullwinkle's. No this is not a treasure clue. I just went in there for lunch. There is a photo on the wall of when it was the Totem Cafe. The sign on the roof has a "Bullwinkle's" wrap that is covering the old metal "Totem Cafe" sign. Ask for Jason at the bar.~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - Sage and Pine The Blaze of Glory 2018-07-22 | Forrest Fenn says we should see sage and pine. I pointed out previously that sage doesn't grow in the pine forest. Well, this photo thumbnail shows that I have been proven wrong. I still have not found sage up in a mountain creek, but I have found sage among scrawny pines north of West Yellowstone.~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - An Attractive Nuisance The Blaze of Glory 2018-07-22 | Lawyers use the term "attractive nuisance" to describe risky things that children can't help but be attracted to, and then falling in or hurting themselves. This logjam was my attractive nuisance. I kept walking out there, wandering how to cross that creek to get to my "attractive nuisance".~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
Forrest Fenn - What about that creek? The Blaze of Glory 2018-07-06 | Do we go up the creek, stop at the mouth of the creek, or pass by the creek.~ Aric Hallhttps://www.gofundme.com/comprehensive-forrest-fenn-treasure/donate-
