Lost Dutchman Goldmine

My God, what gall! King Joe, presiding over his private domain, where he makes the rules and everybody better fall in line or they will be "inforced". I personally have no interest in this event; but I can't imagine a man among you that would bob his head up and down and go "yassuh, m...

Oh, I don't know - it's not easy writing rhyme like that. I thought it was a pretty good effort!

Well.
I see the code of conduct has gone the way. No surprise who fired the first sarcastic shot.

Hi John, and welcome You've got the list of the best ones. One other that is worth mentioning is Robert Sikorsky's "Quest for the Dutchman's Gold". It's mainly fun for the interspersed vignettes of Sikorsky's adventures as a member of Celeste Maria Jones' crew in the 1960's. But Glover and...

Hello Greg,

If you're still monitoring this miserable mess that used to be a forum, is there any sign of the 2005 Journal in the forseeable future? I haven't had my journal fix in quite a while!

Joe,
Please clarify: Those photos are credited to "JoeRibaudo" (no space between names), which, IIRC, was one of the aliases Wyatt used. Have you appropriated that alias?

Hi Late,

Thanks, but I don't think I made any point or asked any question. Just made an observation.
Did you mean Squaw Valley, or was that a typo?

My God, Gene! You have been toting a load that would crush a dozen men. Thanks for sharing your feelings with me. As it happens, I too had an experience when I thought I only had months to live, and I had my own reckoning. All was well in the end, and it was nothing so horrible as your tale, but I u...

Oops!
Nope, that slipped by me. I don't know a Squaw Valley in the Superstitions, at least not that I can think of. That's what I get for jumping in after a long absence.

Carry on!

Late,
You seem awfully sure Deering came up Squaw Canyon, and that the "trick" is gone.

Jeez, Gene, I just logged on for the first time in weeks, and I see this! Thank God it turned out not to be cancer! All that stuff you said sounds a HELL of a lot better than dying of cancer. You have looked death in the eye and come to terms with it, and then walked away from the experience. A lot ...

Hi Folks, I was finally able to post a picture of Steve in the Members Archive. Take a gander of him in all his mountain finery. A fine specimen of a Dutch Hunter. Many thanks to Mr Wiz for digging that photo up. Peter Thanks for getting it out there, Peter. I keep hoping I'll wake up and this terr...

I'd like to post a picture of Steve here, if someone could tell me how to go about it. I have a JPEG file.

We've had two hydras that I can think of. Only one, though, can write an intelligible post using reasonable grammer and spelling, such as Mr. Tucker's. The same one, coincidentally, has a penchant for describing their surroundings as they post, such as "Jan" did on her way through Texas. I...

This post is directed to Newjerseyman, concerning camping near water holes. NJM, the point of that "restriction" is that the local wildlife depends on those water holes. Camping too near a sole source of water will keep them from coming for a drink. It's only polite to be a considerate gue...

It's at an end. I delivered my message, without sniping at anyone.
Finis.

Let's not get our panties in a wad, gentlemen, I stated right from the beginning that I could not verify this statement. If you choose to ignore it, I won't be offended. If you don't, I won't know anyway. The volume of response does surprise me, though, I never actually expected any response at all....

Redison,
Anything's possible, I suppose. I'm just the messenger. I do believe that my source for this warning has good reason to give it.

Wiz, We have no such access to the web-site, including the ldm moderated discussions. Sounds like there is a hacker. Who? NOT US. We have a life to live. The webmaster will need to know exactly what happened, so give me some detail then I will ask the him what, and if he can find out who is disrupt...

I have been informed by someone I trust, that moderators on this site have free access to PMs. I can't verify this directly, but as I said, I trust my source. So, if you engage in any PM activity, your messages are likely subject to scrutiny.
For whatever that's worth.

You guys are great!

This is like Dueling Researchers; you each keep one-upping the other. Keep it coming, and pretty soon we'll know how Albert took his coffee.
Greg, it must be good to find somebody new who can evidently do research at your level and will post it here.

As I said, it is not important if Perico, or any of the other warriors for that matter, lived in Mescalero or elsewhere. Who really cares? A lot of people care, Joe. You just don't get it. For someone who claims such an intimate knowledge of Indian culture, you just don't have a clue. I hope you're...

This thread is the most incredible, impressive display of researching skill I've ever had the privilige of seeing. Thank you all, gentlemen, for going through it all online like this, and demonstrating what's really possible on a forum like this. Novice, you are a force to be reckoned with. Greg and...

My mistake. I thought I was talking to Jim.

Jim,
If you find out, let the rest of us know. It's certainly gotten bizarre, hasn't it?? Now we have viscious replys on one forum to posts that have been deleted off of other forums! Ack!
