I'm a bit confused (so what's new).
How did you sell the farm after Helen died, and then after she died, and sold the farm, she had a stroke and she lives with you now?
I must have read that wrong.

Beth,
There comes a time when this charade becomes crystal clear. At that point, you make a choice to participate or not. Most of the time I am chosing to not be a part of it.
See you soon,
Joe

i am sure no one at the rendenous needs you to do their thinking for them joe..
bb,
I believe that goes without saying. After all, you have been telling us for years that we all need you to do any of the heavy lifting that needs to be done in the thinking department. When I say all, I am including, of course, Albert Einstein. Too bad you couldn't get him straightened out before he published his theories.
I, for one, can't wait to hear what you have to teach us at the "rendenous".
See you there,
Joe

. I believe Joe's interest in the LDM is purely that of someone interested in the history of the legend and all the stories surrounding it.

For a long time, I thought that the Stone Maps did show the LDM above West Boulder Canyon, right where it turned out that there was a sealed mine, that one of our team found in 2004, my last trip into the mountains.
Later, I was convinced by the evidence presented, that the Pit Mine to the west of Roger's Trough was probably Waltz's mine. I am still convinced that is the case.
bb is wrong thinking that I ever actually looked for the LDM. That being said, I couldn't have failed to find it.
Even though I have serious doubts that bb will ever show up at a Rendezvous, I do look forward to hearing his solution to whatever he thinks he has found. When he first started posting, he found the mine from a commercial airline flight that passed close to the range. It showed up as a bright light, as I remember. Never talked about his dad telling the story until years later.
Since that is how he claimed he found the mine, I can't imagine how he can now claim he used his superior deductive skills and intelligence to locate it. Looking back on his story, it seems that it was "blind luck".......so to speak.
Hopefully this will all come to an end at the Rendezvous, but I doubt it.

I'm not sure I understand what was wrong with my comments or replies above - I quoted your post from 2006 verbatim and then asked you a serious question - how you interpret that as being something rude I don't understand. If you don't want to answer the question, a simple "I'd rather not answer that" would suffice instead of trying to turn it back on someone else again.

Ummm ok?
You're truly an impossible person to have a serious conversation with.
