The Thrill of the Chase - Airs Aug 28th

As I Have Gone Alone In There from Everything Is Stories
Forrest Fenn is someone who creates adventure in the 21st century. After surviving cancer, this dealer of antique luxuries hid a treasure chest filled with gold coins, gold dust, gold nuggets, rubies, and other valuables. The treasure is said to be worth over one million dollars, and he’s only given clues to where it may be in his writings and an occasional television appearance. In this story, Forrest Fenn is interviewed at his home in Santa Fe, New Mexico where he shares memories from his childhood, experiences of being a fighter pilot during the Vietnam War, and what exactly made him want to hide a treasure. Local friends and treasure hunters also describe their encounters with Fenn and ideas of where the treasure may be found.
