Teamfever Update

The 2005-2006 hiking season is over. It is time for a progress report from Teamfever. The past year was tragic for us with the death of Ellen due to natural causes. She was a very special person born with a heart defect we were not aware. She used exercise to help overcome it, which is one reason wh...

Carved rock

We have the picture of the carved rock on another thread titled
"Stone map peer review and FYI"

"Now toss your marbles back in the circle and sit back down here with the rest of us." What a neat attitude! Now let's accomplish something. What do you think the Jesuits left behind? The possibiliities would include a played out mine, a productive mine, a treasure from somewhere else. May...

Joe, Someone finally got your attention. Giving you your own forum didn't do it. Telling you to shut up didn't do it. Criticizing you didn't do it. Making fun of you didn't do it. People leaving the forum didn't do it. Answering your posts with an exaggerated parody of your posts finally did it. Bri...

Nothing too personal, Joe, but I suspect you would be better received if you would shut up about things you know little or nothing about. "I must admit, I am clueless as to what you are talking about. I always have been. Just trying to keep the conversation flowing." There was an "aut...

Yep, The guy out of Florida was supposed to be here May 8. Never showed, never called. I'm looking into the guys out of Las Vegas and our German guy is bypassing the Florida vendor and contacting Germany directly which is the original source of the instrument.

Jesse,
Thank you for the data point. It is a help.

If anyone else has first hand experience with
any of the technologies mentioned we would
appreciate the feedback.

Mr. Feldman,
We are researching the new "see through dirt" technologies.
We would like to know if you used any of them and did they
give any information. We are speaking of ground penetrating
radar, magnetometer, and broadband ambient RF.
Harry,

"Perhaps the "Team" approach is not the best way to go at this thing. On the ground, yes. Looking for answers, maybe no." Don’t underestimate or belittle Team Fever. We are a unique group of people ranging in age from 30 to 64. Country/cultural backgrounds include mainland China,...

No sense setting yourselves up for character assassination. Maybe attack is a better verb. Team Fever is coming to the conclusion the trail maps are real and the other maps probably are real therefore no one would be involved in a hoax. The wavy line we think is a symbol equivalent to the modern day...

Joe,
What an opening!

You would put it against your forehead to test it for us, right?

120 degrees and 55ft. is still out there. Maybe we should offer a prize.

Our stone map “destination” is on an open hillside in full view of a public trail. There will be no pick swinging, legal or otherwise. Next season we plan to use a metal detector, cache detector, and ground penetrating radar, if we can get it. Ground penetrating radar is difficult to interpret so we...

Joe, The question was what markings on the map would be interpreted as meaning 120 degrees and 55 feet? It has nothing to do with your terrain or my terrain. Then again, we left you last year with your trying to count to 18, if I remember right. It is possible you could interpret the same markings a...

120 degrees, 55 feet

So, no takers on 120 degrees, 55 feet. Interesting.

By the way, 348/148 should have read 348/168.
A little typographical error there.

We consider every line we don’t understand as important. We have been able to tie a physical feature to most every line we think we understand. The wavy line should be no different. Some provide a more dramatic photograph than the ILR. We expect the wavy line to be a rock outline, skyline, or draina...

Team Fever progress report

We ended last year with two ideas. One was a bust. One was a hit. We think there are two legs or vectors to the final destination from the ILR. We think we understand them both. The first leg terminates at a monument. The second is less certain. The destination is a surprise to us. It appears to be ...

Joe, I think you are going to have to buy an issue to get the details without error. January, 2005, Arizona Highways, page 32. The article is mentioned on the cover. We, personally, do not know whether the stones are a hoax. We have tried to remain open to the possibility. We do think that if they w...

For those of you that haven't read the two page spread or don't have access: the conclusion is that the stones are of northern Arizona rock and were made by electric tools around 1940. No analysis is made of the markings themselves. If I have made an error in my summary, corrections are welcome. Harry

Joe,
You count to 18 differently than I do. Even so we would certainly like
to find the monument next to the ILR. We suspect it has been destroyed.

I would bet that your end of trail and my end of trail are over 5 miles apart.
Certainly they are not in the same area. We are on different hunts.

We suspect your are correct that wide knowledge of the Indian Love Rock, henceforth known as ILR would result in its damage or destruction. That means we can't publicize the "dots" either. One leads to the other. On a different note. Notice that the ILR is not a circle within a circle as d...

Compliments to Lazarus for recognizing the Culteral/Historical value of anything found in the Superstitions with a proven provenance dating back to the 1700-1800s would far exceed any monetary value it could possibly have. One's story, if it survives peer review, would be worth something if you want...
