OK. SO now I can say we’re in print. The team. Names and everything.
While the article is accurate I’m of course disappointed with how i was quoted. My quote, was prefaced by a lengthy explanation. Has Forrest nudged up close to the law? The FBI seems to think so. But if you come at it a different direction (which I prefer to) relics are just things, and if we decide that they are part of history..isn’t it vital to have that history on display, and not “In the dark”?
Like any story, there are inaccuracies… minor details, but the story itself is a decent (if ever so slightly blurred) polaroid of a guy I, and possibly my group, have come to somewhat revere. Not because he made piles of money and wears owns a cowboy hat. But because he OWNS that cowboy hat. His terms, always. he’s respectful, arrogant, brilliant and generous all at the same time.
Go do something. Seriously. Go do something. Want some of my notes? Fine. Get out there. Grab a couple people and go look. It’s out there. And dont let the lead paragraph fool you.
It’s over a million.

Hard to encapsulate our trip in a magazine article let alone Forrest’s story. Regardless of the article, an interview on youtube, hell even finding the damn thing, I’m in it for the adventure.

Yeah, can I have some of your notes?
August 21st, 2012 at 6:25 pm
The good ones or the ones I scrapped?

I just want the bracelet. I have a buyer on the line.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:12 pm
No way. Didn’t you know the bracelet has secret powers? If you wear it, you become a famous art dealer, a fighter pilot, a natural born archaeologist, a hotel magnate…only bad thing is you stink at playing pool and you start talking in riddles and giving away your fortune to complete strangers.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:14 pm
I’ll roll the dice.
August 22nd, 2012 at 5:19 pm
Oh maybe since he won it in pool, he changed the luck when it comes to that. Was just thinking that the hotel magnate guy lost it doing that. Too bad you won’t have that chance. Maybe I need to start planning another trip out west before the end of the year. Where oh where would I go?

I think you should check Canada thoroughly.
August 22nd, 2012 at 5:28 pm
Didn’t someone say there was a Toledo Canada? I’m also thinking about all those places Forrest was mentioned to have gone in that article…the Sahara? Now maybe all those international hits I’m getting on my blog are making sense. When does North halt?
August 22nd, 2012 at 5:29 pm
North goes way past Alaska. Take a jacket.
