🏴☠️ There is buried treasure in Idaho. Seriously. And yes, there is even a red X.
On this episode of The Great Idaho Show: The Heart and Mind of Idaho, I sit down with David Foster of 43rd State of Mind.
David has taken his love for Idaho and turned it into something pretty remarkable. He hides actual treasure chests around the state containing gold, silver, Idaho star garnets, cash and more.
Then he gives you 43 clues.
The clues take you through Idaho history, geography, landmarks and riddles until eventually you have to put the computer down, lace up your boots and go looking.
But this conversation quickly became about something bigger than what is inside the box.
It is about getting families outside. Learning Idaho history. Exploring a road you've never turned down. Visiting a community you've never seen. Getting kids off a screen and in front of a map.
And maybe discovering a few treasures along the way that have nothing to do with gold or silver.
At the time we recorded this conversation, four treasures were still out there waiting to be found.
This was a fun one.
