This is the biggest clue released by Forrest Fenn to date! The past three clues related to specific locations to avoid like graveyards and structures. This clue wipes out TWO STATES!
Well hell...I live in Utah and I had many more places to hunt. In a live interview on the Today show he would not exclude any other states, but my sense is that it's in New Mexico. He's stated several times now that people have been within 500 feet of the treasure.
Forrest said originally his purpose was to get people out into the woods exploring and adventuring. That his interest was not in the treasure being found but the adventures gained in the hunt. Unfortunately, this clue likely will end the hunt for hundreds...maybe thousands who can't afford the time or expense of traveling out of state to look for the treasure.
Forrest may simply want to see his treasure found before he dies. Or this may be about promoting his current home state of New Mexico. Most of the printing proceeds from this book go to supporting businesses in his home town.
What ever the reasoning, I'm out...well except when I'm in Montana. Forrest spent a lot of time there and had a great love for the Yellowstone area...probably no there though.
Good hunting treasure hounds!

On the Today Show Forrest Fenn revealed the 12th clue in the search for Fenn's treasure. It's a similar clue to the last one, in that it is an exclusion of where to look. Whether you believe it's in New Mexico, Utah, or Montana set some time aside and go on an adventure. Take fishing rods, tents, or gear for whatever you love to do outdoors. Just don't plan on doing any major excavations.
Prior to releasing clue #12, the Today Show interviewed Park Service rangers who reminded everyone that anything found in National Parks belongs to "the people" and that digging on these lands is illegal. Just ask the man who was digging under Desconso.
So here it is...Clue # 12 in the search for Fenn's Treasure:
"It's not in a cemetery"
Take that to mean old or new. Do not dig in old Indian burial grounds, the local cemetery, or even in burials at old homesteads. This is meant to be an adventure of fun a way to get people out, not a way to end up in a cell.
Only bookstore in the world that has printing rights to Fenn's biography, "The Thrill of The Chase", is at the Collected Works Bookstore. They just had another 15,000 copies printed and the price is still $35. Forrest Fenn gets none of the publishing money, in fact he pays for the printing. It's all to support his favorite bookstore and promote getting outside.
