I bought Justin's book after seeing him featured on the Netflix Forrest Fenn treasure hunt documentary. Seemed like an interesting, so I gave it a shot. As a big fan of treasure hunt books like this one, I'm always gravitated toward learning new things and exploring. This book is no different...I enjoyed it immediately! While not as heavy (figuratively and literally) as Jon Collins-Black's treasure hunt book from 2024, Justin's is equally fun, but in different ways. Can't wait to go boots on the ground! Definitely recommended for treasure hunt enthusiasts and fans of complex puzzle solving.
Even if you aren’t interested in the treasure hunt itself. This is a great book to read. I recommend it. I could genuinely get lost in the pages.
Great book. Easy to follow and read. A treasure map story.
Bought for my daughter in law and she enjoyed it.
This is the BEST WRITTEN BOOK EVER!!!! As soon as Amazon dropped it off at my doorstep, I started reading it! I could NOT put it down!! I went from hysterically laughing to sobbing! Extremely well done!! Justin Posey, thank you!!!! :)
Treasure, excitement, a new adventure! I absolutely love this idea, its inspiration & each weekend is now a new treasure adventure. I love how the book is heartfelt with warm stories yet continues an amazing treasure adventure! Let the hunt begin! Game on!
Love this book

Well, for better or worse Justin Posey's treasure hunt has consume my life for the last three months. For anyone who likes adventure puzzles and just all around solid stories, read this book. Justin is a very good writer, and my opinion seems to be an even better person. The treasure hat and community that he's created are something to behold what did a baby
I a complete sucker for a good treasure hunting book; However, this one is rare. On my brain’s scale, the current market price of this gem does not accurately reflect its value.Justin has a knack for writing in such a way that his feelings and life experiences translate viscerally to the reader. It contains a genuineness that feels like a treasure in its own right. It’s quite comforting for those of us who have experienced tremendous loss. I found myself re-reading chapters therapeutically, not just for the puzzle-solving high or adventure I tend to obsessively crave (though it absolutely has that, if that’s what you’re seeking).Sincerest thanks to Justin for so vulnerably baring his soul to the world.And to Tucker for the pure joy the stories of his life brought to a complete stranger on the internet.*Clanks down Stanley aggressively before pressing Submit*
Excellent book! Thank you for sharing your family history and photos and stories…absolutely loved💕, relatable to life, also to generations - family and friends can share and ponder, hope you write more…I laughed and cried. Going to try to figure out the treasure location, now, lol.
Actually well written and enjoyable to read.
It’s 2 am and I should be sleeping but oh no I am reading this charming book full of memories and characters. Family and friends and shop keepers, all characters in their own way. As I’m falling in love with all of these moments I just can’t stop smiling. My checks are going to be hurting before I’m done. Written so beautifully that I get carried away and forget to look for clues. I’m sure I’ll end up reading it a few times. Thanks for the adventure Justin! Happy hunting everyone!
What an adventure! This book tells a story with hidden clues; find them and devise your strategy. The book and the hunt will bring families and friends together by requiring them to work together. And if you make it to the end, the treasure at the end of the rainbow sounds significant.
If you are into treasure hunting or just a good quick read , this memoir of is a must. Full of short whimsical story’s about a quirky life from the deserts of AZ to the high country of NM and beauty of Montana. You’ll experience every emotion, read the poem and want to hunt for JPs Treasure .He later hunted for Forrest Fenn’s treasure, didn’t find it and hid a treasure of his own all encompassed in this hard cover . Worth the read and the hunt. Build memories with this book for sure .Disclaimer : if you buy this book on my review and join the hunt remember Amazon Lady Review when you finish the quest if I don’t get there before you :) ! Happy Hunting . Beardown
This book will be life-changing for the lucky (or insanely smart) winner. But it's not just a bunch of clues, leading to a hidden treasure, the treasure is in all the beautiful stories about family, adventure, dreaming, hope, loving and truly living on the planet. They are broken down into small bites so you can read a chapter at a time when you have breaks in the day or heading to sleep. Justin makes you feel like a member of the family. Well written and worth the investment into yours and your family's future. The treasure is where you look.
The author shows that he has learned from the Fenn treasure hunt and has made multiple efforts to protect the integrity of the hunt. I appreciate that he made the effort to be untracked during his travels to place the treasure, and that he placed it as he was passing through, to thwart digital tracking even further.I really like how this somewhat compact book feels in your hands—it’d be easy to pack around in the field. No dust jacket to fuss with, which is a big plus. It’s a fun read, keeps you hooked, and if you’re into Fenn’s style, you’ll probably like Posey’s writing too."... spoken about in the same reverent tones as miracle cures or particularly good casseroles."
An enjoyable collection of stories and memories. The book is entertaining and well written, even without the treasure hunt element. There's a strong theme that goes beyond a guy looking for (or hiding) something physically valuable, and delves deeper into the history and character traits that make him who he is. His family bonds, personal challenges, and laser focus on problem solving create an interesting and relatable history.The story reads loud and clear - don't stop at the map's edge. Keep looking. Keep pushing. Keep going. The next big adventure is waiting for the next cartographer.
A wonderful read! The book takes you along many of Justin’s life adventures. Justin writes in metaphors and poetic parables using nature and the great outdoors creating vivid imagery and drawing connections between the natural world and the human experience. You grow to love all the characters and start to feel a certain rush to go out and explore new horizons. I laughed out loud so many times while reading his stories. I bought this book hoping for clues to a hidden treasure, but the book itself is pure GOLD! So proud of Justin, he really is a gem the world deserves to know. 10/10
Excellent! This treasure hunt is the closest I've seen to Forrest Fenn's. Its like part 2 and a true sequel! I like how Justin is so passionate about it, took care of the details and vowed to stay out of the hunt and not answer emails or do interviews. Set it and forget it! Love this concept. Fenn should of done the same instead of giving insiders personal hints and clues.The book is well written and put together very well!
I was 5 years old when my Dad took me and my brother camping for the first time with the cub scouts. It would be a moment that would change my life as I walked through time to the rank of Eagle and found a love for the outdoors and backcountry that left a mark on my soul. Some decade and change later I still have that love but found myself adventuring out less and less. From the show straight to this book, I felt a spark of adventure I havent sensed in years. I have never felt a more powerful draw back into the beautiful American west than now.Fenns treasure once captured my imagination and Justin's treasure has done it again. I have plans to visit a number of beautiful areas this summer regardless of the treasure being found or not and I really would not have done it without this book. As I sit here with my dog recovering from surgery next to me and sharing a name with the author I feel a kindred spirit to his stories.Bottom line, I would recommend this book if you want to feel a nice nostalgic flow of the authors life through his time in the west that will be sure to have you laugh at times and feel a connection to a place and time that feels like home. RIP Tucker and thank you Justin for sharing your sense of adventure with the world.
