DOC NOSS-Victorio Peak OR The Caballo Mountains

I repeat. one of the depositories was for the Jesuits as a holding point for loading on Jesuit controlled ships in the vicinity of Matamoros, and it is probably still intact.:laughing7::laughing7::coffee2::coffee2::coffee2::coffee2:
 

Nice post. brought a smile to me.
Im not limiting my hunt to 10 years, its just that im 64 years old now, and I figure if i got 10 years of climbing left that will be about it. Lucky to last 10 more.
So its more of an expected (dreaded) physical limit than a set time frame.

I too hope that NP will someday re appear. Come on NP, we all wish you well and miss your inputs.

I just read "New Mexico Confidential" (basically, in one sitting ).

Very worth a read. Very easy to read. Very logically-organized.

Decades spent on that tale. Not wasted, I think. TRUTH is the most precious quantity of all.

Know the area. Makes me itchy.

Come on back, NP, if you can; else, excelsior!

Yes, I read new mexico confidential, that led me to Rebel Gold. Which has now lead me to "Jesse James was one of his names".
My mind is making a paradigm shift in what was going on in the caballos.

Where did you find Jesse James was one of his names?
 

I did a google search and found a copy out in Washington at a book store.
Very expensive, but oh well, so is treasure hunting, so I bought it and cant wait to read it.

there is one on ebay right now with a starting bid of 150. auction ends tomorrow.

Thanks for the heads up, Whiskeyrat. I've always wanted to buy it but my wife won't fork over the dough until I can beat her at arm wrestling. I've been working out so wish me luck. :laughing7:

Is there any way you can inject her right arm with Novocain before the struggle? Just thinking out loud.

That book is a wealth of information, some of it allegedly factual events in Jesse James' life, and some of it allegedly using the Organization's trademark "Jesse James" as the alter ego for many of their members.

I don't think the injection would work. When I'm up to something, she can sense the fear so she goes on the alert.

I have followed the cable from bottom to near the top where it goes up a vertical cliff. I have not been above the vertical cliff yet, but I will be this year.
I have not found a sheave block bolted into a rock anywhere from the entrance to the canyon to the vertical cliff where the cable disappears up and over.

WR, I posted directions previously for how to get above the vertical face from down below.

You can also come in from the top. That route is best done with an ATV unless you like off-camber cliff driving in a taller vehicle.

Or, take the very longest road up top, but that's a lot farther to walk. Oooh, "too far to walk" - Oh, wrong thread. But if you have found the House of Brown, let me know.

Good luck.

Found some old pictures. Here's one looking down on Cable Canyon - from much higher up than it looks.

A few things of interest: the lone juniper far below. This is where I had seen the explosives boxes and thick-milled lumber another time. Also, that vehicle parked below was some old green and white job that was abandoned there for some time. Anyone really familiar with the mountains during that time could use it to date the general time of this picture as the truck was there for quite a while.

Guess I'll throw in a scenic view, too. Tough work, but that S-NM terrain has its own special beauty.

Could I have been standing near where Noss once emerged, blinking, back into the bright NM sun after finding that one last map sign that led him to a long-forgotten stash of star-metal, or did he only gaze at this area from a distance on his way back and forth to Hembrillo? Did he lug oh-so-satisfyingly dense bars of contraband metal down these very slopes to his purported camp at Cleto, one-by-one, following the very path of Mr. Foreman years earlier, or was Cleto where he camped to tire out the followers who would otherwise track him to Vic when his entourage was a bit thin?

Watch your footing.

*(I say star-metal, because geological science makes the claim that energy densities were not high enough during the formation of the Earth to produce much more than lead, so things higher on the table necessarily come from old super-nova leftovers.)
 

Nmth said Nylars, Osterlars which are Danish villages. What do you mean exactly ?

Well, we all like a mystery here, right? This is a chance to stretch your research skills a little. It's like the Jedi Archives: if it's not in Google, it does not exist, right? Try some "usual suspects" added to your Google search and I bet the reference might pop up (though I have not tired this myself).
