Patience is a must in the art of treasure hunting.It took 18 years of hard work and a lot of time spent in research just to get close. I have great expectations for this site,I have not been back there in 15 years do to my brother in law passing on and finding a bigger and better site.(closer to home)Lets get on with the story.
In the early morning we started a vigorous hike expecting nothing at all like we found. It changed the way we looked at things. It also started us on a new hobby. We found writing on a rock. Great,we found out latter in the day it faded out do to the sun shinning on it. The writing can only be seen in the early morning or at dusk. I will not be able to show you a pic of this rock.Every one told us the writing was done by Indians. I went to my all knowing uncle,well in my eyes any way.He had been prospecting most of his life he should know something.
His advise the Spanish were great miners,just look for holes in the ground. I think a lot of people think that way. I We went up there again and again, something did not seam right. I went to work on identifying the symbols on the rock. After many years I finely found out some of the symbols were measurement signs. All right,down the miss leading trails we will go. Having fun but going nowhere and till Charles Kenworthy came out with his book in 1991,1993.What a brake through with some knowledge about sun and shadow symbols.We took more pic and what a surprise things came together. The man on the ridge matches the one on the rock,but the measurement symbols did not match up and till we found the man on the mountain. My brother inlaw past away shortly after that. My hart was not in it.So years later I went back up one more time. I tried to get to the man on the mountain. I could not get to him from the top of the mountain,so I tried to get to him from below. The cliffs were to steep,it was a no go being by my self.(more pics)
