Forest Fenn treasure hunt
There's a small chest hidden somewhere in the Rocky Mountains containing a $2 million fortune. Forrest Fenn, who lives in New Mexico, hid the chest, full of coins and antiquities, amid a battle with cancer, fearing he would not conquer the disease. He survived, and he's gotten to watch treasure hunters scramble to decode a poem which he created as a treasure map. Unfortunately, at least two deaths have been linked to the hunt.
