What inspired The Chase Legacy?
The Chase Legacy was inspired and launched to honor Forrest Fenn’s Thrill of the Chase Treasure Hunt, which ended June 6th, 2020. The Facebook Community of Chasing Forrest Fenn’s Treasure wanted to do something special at the close of the hunt. Many of our lives had been touched by Forrest Fenn’s Chase over the years, and we wanted to do more than just ‘move onto other hunts’ (which we can do that too), but decided to shift some of the focus on the Chase by giving back in honor of Forrest for the opportunity he gave the community!
The Chase Legacy was created, and has been combined with The Treasure Chest Project.
Over the years, chatting with Forrest, there is one thing above all else that stood out about Forrest. He wanted to share and give smiles. In Forrest Fenn’s Scrapbook 213, when Forrest was talking about hiding leaves in books for ‘some smiling face to find it in the far-distant future’, he says:
“You should do that too. It’s a way to leave your mark on history and someday cause a smile. Please don’t underestimate your importance. What fun it would be to find an old book with a leaf that George Washington had signed.”
But we could do more than that. Forrest had certainly exercised our imaginations! What fun it would be for others to find things today! And cause a smile not only in years to come, but in the present time, tomorrow, next week, any day!
Might we hide a ‘mini treasure chest with some tiny treasures inside?’ Might we place a dollar bill inside a library book?’ ‘Might we create a treasure hunt with clues?’ What might we do? The options are endless!
The finder of these hidden items are sure to smile! And that is The Chase Legacy! Visit The Treasure Chest Project today!
