The Place Where a Story Ended Expanded Edition

Forrest Fenn, a wealthy and eccentric art dealer, started a treasure hunt by filling a bronze chest with over 20 pounds of gold and jewels, hiding it somewhere in the Rocky Mountains, and then daring the public to find it. A cryptic poem within his book, The Thrill of the Chase, held clues to its location. Solve the riddles, and the treasure was yours. 300,000 people from around the world searched for the treasure without success. Then, a decade after the hunt began, it ended in a cloud of mystery. Where was it hidden? What was the solution to the poem? All that remained in the story's aftermath were questions, echoing unanswered across the vast expanse of the Rockies.
The Place Where a Story Ended chronicles one man's expansive search through the teeth of the Rockies, discovering that the treasure chest was a lure that Fenn cast into a sea of people, hoping someone would take the bait and uncover the story behind the story. This book weaves together all the loose ends into a cohesive last chapter of The Thrill of the Chase, and in so doing, it reveals the solution to the mystery and story hidden within.
