In 1998,Fenn was diagnosed with terminal kidney cancer.As he had always been doing,he conceived a grand adventured that he assumed would be his last one.“I wanted to create some excitement,some hope,before I died,”says Fenn,82,adding that he also wanted to“get kids out ofthe game room and off the couch.”With those ideas in his mind,he started to devise a treasure hunt. little by little,Fenn began stocking a small bronze chest with gold coins,prehistoric bracelets and other valuable things.When his cancer went into remission in 1993,he decided he would carryout his plan anyway. In 2010,“Fenn topped”off the chest with jewels and valuable stones and hid it somewhere deepin the Rocky Mountains,north of Sante Fe.later that year,he wrote a poem for his self-publishedmemoir,The Thrill of the Chase.It contained nine clues about the treasure box's whereabouts.Onestanza reads like this:Begin it where warm waters halt/and take it in the canyon down/Not far,buttoo far to walk/Put in below the home of Brown.
