Want to find his hidden treasure worth millions? Head outdoors

[koalabear]

A New Mexico multimillionaire wants you to get off the couch and go searching for hidden treasure.

Forrest Fenn, 82, believes too many Americans spend their free time watching TV or playing video games. He hopes the bounty he hid — a chest filled with millions of dollars in gold coins, diamonds and emeralds, among other gems — will prompt some to explore the outdoors. "Get your kids out in the countryside, take them fishing and get them away from their little hand-held machines," he told TODAY.

Fenn hid the chest in a secret spot three years ago with two goals in mind: Getting people to fall in love with America's scenic trails and passing on what he calls the "thrill of the chase," something he has experienced over more than seven decades of hunting for rare objects.

Pretty soon somebody will pounce on this and we'll be able to watch the thrill of the chase on a brand new reality TV show.

I had that book in high school. Cool stuff.

Maybe this guy should have spent some that money on preserving the trails that will be left in ruins once the funding dries up.

Me too. The whole concept fascinated me as a kid. And the pictures were cool.

Oooh, this would make a good plot bunny. Sex and adventure!

I don't love you less for it, but you suck.

Someone had to tell you that and I'm kind of sad that it was me.



Someone will find the chest and it will have a note - "I spent the treasure, but your reward was the 'thrill of the chase".
