Re: Casa Caverna

Good morning Don, What happened to Adolph Ruth may never be truthfully revealed. Anyone involved it that, possible, murder and cover-up is most likely dead now. I doubt they left any evidence or told anyone the details. I don't believe most of the story we have been told. Without reading the Bark No...

Re: Casa Caverna

Hi Don, Hope all is well with you and our fellow Brits. Most of the information you are talking about can be found in the Bark Notes. While it's possible that it's all fiction, that seems unlikely. He knew Waltz, Julia and Rhiney personally. The "facts" you are talking about came directly ...

Re: 11th annual Lost Dutch Hunters Rendezvous

Just got a call from Ryan Gorden. He and Frank are on their way to the Rendezvous. He has his drone with him. Should be fun. Dr. Glover was here last Sunday and picked up Tom's signed copy of: "Chronological History of the Superstition Wilderness Area, the Lost Dutchman Mine and the Adjacent Ce...

Re: 11th annual Lost Dutch Hunters Rendezvous

All, I recently found a copy of: Book Description: Chronological History of the Superstition Wilderness Area, the Lost Dutchman Mine and the Adjacent Central Mountain Region. A chronological listing of associated prehistory and history from 300 B.C. to 2000 A.D. The book provides a detailed log of e...

Re: Yellow Jackets

Ben,

As I said, those days are over. Don't even have the drive to dig through that old research. Posting a picture of an old, well known mine shaft in Nevada does not qualify as....."evidence" for the existence of Oz. Got any others?

Take care,

Joe

Re: Travis Tumlinson and the Stone Maps

Hello Mr. Ribaudo, Hope things are going well with you and yours. You have an excellent point on the maps. Perhaps everything was cleaned out long ago. That would actually be a real hoot. Who knows Ayer may have made everything. On another point. Since you have interpreted the Stone Maps correctly,...

Re: Yellow Jackets

Perhaps for a long time you folks have asked the wrong question about what our motive was. Originally it was to remove the library for its own safety. Now the library has been converted to data that we can turn on in a second and make available to all mankind. It is quickly becoming apparent our jo...

Re: Travis Tumlinson and the Stone Maps

Hello Mr. Ribaudo, The Stone Maps tell a history of the range that goes back well over a thousand years. The trail and other things shown on the map include not only the ground of the Superstitions but a lot of information transferred through the years and even a bit of graffiti. To answer your que...

Ben, "Your question regarding how Travis got to the Superstitions with the Stone Maps can be answered rather straightforward. He didn`t. He found the maps there. When is another question. As far as selling them. Why not. It seems there was no figuring out the Stone Maps or the skin map and afte...

Roy, Found the names in Chuck's copy of "Thunder God's Gold". Have no idea how or where he got those names, and have no idea if they are right. He wrote Sanders & Anderson at the top of page 59. On the bottom of the preceding page, Storm wrote: "....Two other soldiers-French-Canad...

Re: Yellow Jackets

Machete gangs still mutilate/murder young children for body parts in the country. I believe around 300 children are murdered each year for this purpose alone. South Africa is far from being a safe place for anything.

It may be, considering the respect that Ben had for Ms. Williams, that he simply did not want to see her name and history posted in a forum such as this.
