Wiz I think the point being made is that Gassler could NOT have hiked in to Charlyboy and then the Mesa unaided. Whether that aid was being packed in, or riding a mule or a hot air balloon (personally Id like one of them Lost in Space jet packs) is unknown, but for him to do what he wanted to do...h...

>>It's pretty remote up there, not many hikers go through there on the trail today and even fewer went through back in 84. I don't see where packing someone down the trail to CharleyBoy would have presented much of a problem back then. << LDM Point I was making is that it would be difficult to pack ...

Jesse If the packer DID stay at Jakes Camp waiting for Walter, how would Gasslers body be taken down to the spot where it was found? The trail leading down to Charlyboy is only what 100-200 feet from that Camp? Point I am making is that anyone lugging a body down that way would have had to pass thru...

>>Would a treasure hunter really have a packer take him to THE exact spot? Or, would he have himself packed just close enough to leave a lot of doubt as to the location of the treasure? Point being Gassler could be packed in and still be walking around quite a bit. << GASSLERS CAMP WAS NOT NEAR THE ...

>>Can we accept the three day trip in both stories or does Roland have to be wrong?<< The three day trip would be possible ONLY if he was packed in and out. My take is that he was packed in Day 1, set up his own camp, and died Day 2. Now heres a thought. If he WAS going to be packed out, and the ori...

I spent some time snoozing at Charlyboy once. Not so bad or uncomfortable if one gets underneath one of the trees. Only had a canteen and a daypack for my pillow. So there I was at Charlyboy one with nature ...watching a little group of doves pecking the ground to my left. They hadnt noticed ma and ...

Jesse, You make a good point of the location that the body was found in. Shade, obviously , would not just be able to see the body from the Charleyboy Spring area. He would have had to climb up the trail a good ways to find the body where it was found. Maybe he just felt like riding up that way that...

Just to back up what LDM is saying a little. I have hiked that exact route on more than one occasion. 1st Water to Parker to Bull Pass to Charlyboy is doable. Charleyboy to the Salt Flats...... after hiking 1st Water to Parker to Bull Pass to Charleyboy............ is all hell. That last climb, that...

Has anyone though/discounted the idea that someone found his camp and was using it since no-one had been to the camp in years? Maybe someone stumbled across it and decided to make use of it? ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. I JUST DO NOT THINK THAT WAS THE CASE HERE. I THINK GASSLER SET UP HIS CAMP AFTER BEING...

Tom doesn't mention anything about Walter's camp being already set up? Since it sounds unlikely Walter would have been hiking and carrying his tent, cot, tarp, clothes, food, extra water etc., could he have sent someone else (Packer with his camping supplies) in beforehand and he actually did hike i...
