Joe, I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I would also like to join the others here on the forum in offering my condolences to you and your family. You may never be able to re-fill the empty space left by the loss of a close family member, but it often does help to crowd it with the sympathy and understa...

I haven't been keeping up with the forum until recently, so I thought I'd throw my $25 worth in on this one. Just in case anyone is wondering, Joe's mom and wife are GREAT COOKS. OK, Joe slings a pretty good flap jack too. If the fixins are as good a last years, the $25 is a hell of a good deal for ...

Joe I haven’t had time to attempt aligning things on a topo map as yet. I think the best way to do that would be to do a transparency and tape it on my computer screen. That would keep everything in proportion and make it easy to see if the random dots might line up with map features. I know there i...

My own theory on the Stone Maps is the “Where there is smoke there is fire theory.” The problem is that there is just too much smoke and no one seems to know who started the fires where or when. The signs and symbols on the stone maps appear everywhere from Texas to Arizona. If the maps were not fou...

Certainly all of us have experienced the pain of betrayal, and if we are willing to look into the mirror that Bushrat referred to, we would have to admit that we didn’t get through life without having been on the other end of the knife. Or as another man put it, “let he among you who is without sin ...

Roger We left in a bit of a hurry last Sunday as we were getting pelted with rain and hail. I didn't have the map that I had received from Greyhair with me and I was perhaps a little confused about the location of the Mexican Camp. Peter has indicated that he has done some double checking on it sinc...

I bought my copy of this map at Promack in Apachie Junction a couple of months ago. Just go in and ask the nice lady at the desk for a copy of the Bob Ward map and she will run into the back room and like magic appear with the map. Joe, if you can't find a copy elsewhere and would like one, I'de be ...

Just a note for anyone who is interested in a trip to the massacre grounds. Peter and I have posponed our trip there until next Sunday. Peter introduced me to the idea of hiking in after a rain to store water, so today became a water storage day instead of the massacre grounds hike. We also thought ...

Joe, I was just wondering if you had given any more thought to the idea of having a professional on some subject (GPS,Rock Climbing etc.) make an apperance at the next LDR. The idea was thrown around some at the last campout as an added attraction. The small fee to pay for the professionals services...

Bee swarms
Just thought I'de drop by and leave a note to anyone hiking in the Supers. I ran across a huge swarm of bees this weekend just north of Weavers Needle. The main body of the swarm was so thick that it was casting a shadow on the ground as they made their way west toward the ridge between East Boulder...

multiple deposits?
All, Just wondering if it might be possible that the LDM, or any single mine, might be the source of the multiple types of gold/quartz or gold/silver ore. Rather than assuming that multiple types of gold/quartz came from different mines, is it possible that they all came from the same mine. For exam...

new location
Joe, Are you still talking about the south side of the river? There is a lot of water flowing in the Gila right now, and if you don't start out on the correct side, it's a "long way" around to the other side. Regards, Sluicebox

John Reed?
TGH, Where can I read more about the part of your scenario where John Reed and co. find and uncover the mine in 1887-88. I haven't heard that one yet, or if I have, I don't remember it. Thanks, Sluicebox

covered mine?
The reason I brought up the covered mine question again is because I thought I remembered another story about it being covered. I just couldn't remember where I read it. I found it in Corbin's "Bible", where she is telling the Walter Gassler story. Gassler talks about the mine being covere...

mine covered?
Just wondering if someone could refresh my memory on the story of the mine being covered? Is Dick Holmes the only source of that story? Seems like I remember Waltz telling Julia (via Sims Ely) that he only covered the vertical tunnel. This seems to be the real wedge that separates the Holmes and the...

camping
Joe, Count me and my brother inlaw in on the trip, and let me know if you need any help with the pre- run or anything. We took Donnely Wash road and it was a very easy trip. If you wanted to camp in the wash itself, it would require a 4w/d as it is very deep sand in spots. There is a road connecting...
