One woman is having outright battles with him online claiming it's a hoax. Her husband or ex-husband was found dead and they believe he was looking for it at the time.
Four people have died that they've associated with specifically looking for it, and the authorities are saying - We can't help what people want to do in their free time. We won't stop Mr Fenn from publishing clues or saying the treasure is real.
Fenn has said people have been within 200 feet of it He's really doubling down that it's real.
I think it's a hoax, just an old man watching a bunch of fools hurt themselves with some even dying.
Yeah but if you read about his history, he was never cruel. Decorated with war time medals and lived a pretty clean life after.
Apparently his art dealership made 6 million a year so he would have the means to do it.
And he's a fairly well spoken and well written author.
I guess we'll probably get some sort of blurb after he dies saying whether it was real or not. He seems like the type to put that into his will.

Here's one that is still supposedly out there. I've been through the area (Handcart Gulch) where the treasure is supposedly hidden. It's in the middle of nowhere on a 4WD road. Supposedly no one has found it yet.

I like the Fenn thing better because he's still alive and it's not 'a legend'.
He literally said - It's in a place where an 80 year old man could get to on foot, carrying a 42 lb chest in a backpack. No need for equipment to reach to the spot the chest resides at.
I'm going to visit Mom. Got some cookies and hopefully they cheer her up during this dark and dreary day.
Adios!

In a world full of stupid, "eSports" has to be in the top 10 on the list. And worse, the people that are 'fans' of "eSports" and watch other people play video games
Did you try the suggestions in the wifi thread?

This is my favorite day of the year, June 21st, first day of summer
Most amount of light during one day for the entire year.
It's raining and grey and blah outside but I don't care. All of the leaves and plants are out and the world feels like it's breathing again.
I like it because starting in a couple of days, the days will be getting shorter again.
Not looking forward to the unbearable heat of July and August though
