Well, here are a few more items I'd like to offer. <br> <br>The Peralta massarce as described by Ward I believe, like senor x, to be a composite of all massarce stories Ward read and were molded to fit his facination with sites on the south of the range. And, he thought there were many around there ...

Another place to see more on Bob Ward was on a show about the LDM shown on the Disovery Channel. He gets a lot of time on screen, and shows his Mexican milling area, how to line up markings to find treasure sites, and even a story about one of his wives being shot. I don't know what year this was fi...

Thank you S.C. Very informative stuff. <br> <br>Another very respected source tells me that the 1936 earthquake did indeed topple the top of Miners Needle. My personal opinion leaves me a little leery about such an occurence, and when I next get the chance I was intending on making an on-site compar...

Are you referring to the written directions Ruth had in his notebook, that were copied from the P. C. Bicknell article of 1895 (over a lofty ridge, monumented trail, etc etc)? Brother, you could make those directions fit a lot of places in the Superstitions. There are a thousand deep, rocky tributar...

Hello Royston, <br> <br>I have almost a dozen clients in the UK...what part are you from? <br> <br>As to the Ruth Map(s). Adolph may have had between 1-4 maps with him in his search. Those maps may have applied to Arizona...or perhaps California. The more I have looked into the Ruth affair, the more...

Hiker, <br> <br> That is a good a suggestion. The web master will see your comment. So I'll see if he can do something like that. It is very slow at that time for me, also. I think it is that time that the internet is so crowded. Maybe my web master can tell us something else, so Joe if you read thi...

Suggestion for webmaster
Ron, <br>The LDM map section of this site allows you to comment on each map, which is neat. It would be great if there was some way to tell, while scrolling through the maps, which ones had comments attached. Maybe a little field giving the number of attached comments for each map, so you could see ...

Hiker, <br> <br>Bambi's Roost is up LaBarge Canyon, past Upper LaBarge Box on the East side of Picacho Butte/Coffee Flat Mtn. somewhere near - I believe - the LaBarge Springs No. 2 area and the Red Tanks Divide area - about half way between the two areas along the trail that goes through there. That...

S.C., <br>Well, you certainly appeared on the scene all of a sudden as one of the people who evidently knows their stuff! I wonder who you are... Oh well, none of my business. <br>But I've always wondered about Bambi's Roost. Where does the Ward map show it to be? (And you're right about her being t...

I think we should also remember that at the time he wrote the book, Ward was, I believe, dying of cancer and was heavily drugged. It wouldn't surprise me if a little imagination worked its way into his book. <br>I didn't know Ward - I am, once again, repeating things I have been told by people who k...

Bob Ward must have been an interesting character. The thing is, he absolutely believed what he wrote about. However, I think he took some leaps of imagination. Taking everything in his book with a grain of salt there are three things that stick out to me as being improbable and I suspect Ward actual...

I knew Bob Ward pretty well. Peter is right about a fiction work; however Bob knew the mountains well, and it is a little shocking he turned out such a book. Although it is interesting that he mentions gold bars affiliated wih the Iron Mountain area, I can assure you it was not Ted Cox that he was r...

Thanks Peter. What I have read so far, I have highlighted and taken some notes trying to get a descent grasp of the subject through the hodge-podge of material. This is the first time, however, I decided I should try and use you guys and this forum to answer some of the questions that invariably ari...

Comments and Questions on Ward's "Ripples of Lost Echoe
I found this book odd and somewhat convoluted, but still interesting to read. I think the thing that struck me the most is how many locations of various missing treasures from gold crosses(pg.33) to paintings(pg.39) to mines(pg.35) that he knows of, but for one reason or another could never quite ma...
