Thrill of the Chase Challenge

Forrest Fenn was a NM Poet that loved the outdoors and encouraged others to do the same. He created a treasure hunt that baffled the world for a decade.

To honor his memory and the outdoor adventures he loved, OFPL has created a Treasure Hunt! Watch for a poem to be posted on each of our social media platforms, @galluplibrary on Saturday, October 3rd.

Follow the clues in the poem to find the treasure we have hidden somewhere in the Gallup area. Find our treasure, enjoy the contents, take a photo with it, and share it with the library. Enjoy the thrill of the chase with this great adventure!
