![]() ![]() Last fall, my colleague Estelle and I joined the hunt. They all convince themselves they know exactly where it is, but they end up failing. Hundreds of people from across the country and around the world - a middle-aged steamboat operator in Mississippi, a tenacious Floridian housewife, a Scottish poet - have tried to locate the chest. We came here to find a chest filled with $2 million worth of treasure, hidden by an eccentric, wealthy 80-year-old man. We flew across the country to get here, spent 24 hours on the road, hiked for miles through pinyon forests and over granite peaks. ![]() Strewn across our laps is a mess of maps, field guides, and notes - months of research. We’re in the middle of Yellowstone National Park, listening to the rain pound against the hood of our rental Jeep. ![]()
