Misc data and adventures of a Tayopa treasure hunter

That is sadly true. There is so much knowledge being lost from those of old. I try to seek out those who think they are invisible. You do have a place. What you share here is proof. I salute you all.
 

A seeker of truth, ankle deep in the quicksand of the lies of our old history books.

March onward Bob.

Kanacki. I fiind myself looking forward to each phase of life, to be built upon the last. So ya can't run like you used to, nor attract the gals as before, but in exchange you have gained priceless experiencs and memories, memories which cannot possibly be duplicated today, things such as your infamous Haka dance and dining with long pig Kai Kai. Voyages which depended entirely upon the whim of the wind. not on a scheduale.

Yes, at times I have regrets on as they say "what I didn't do", but they are generally made up by what "I did do", so it is with you. - no regrets for the type of life you 'have ' ived,.possibly for what you might have imagined as perfect, but ------:occasion14:.

For example I might have exchanged Mexico & Tayopa for South America and the Inca treasures, or have continued in China and the Orient,, or have been a south sea bum such as yourself :laughing7::laughing7:

Agree with Señor Markmar, never too late to start…….and yes, although some of our youth has passed with time, as our esteemed Señor Don Jose said, we gain in wisdom, skills and knowledge……and while I can recall many stupid things of my youth, there was also many positive things……..and now, after having lived and learned, I am better for it……
Ahh yes, those Inca treasures here…… maybe some day…..it seems to me one of the lessons is to think, research and act wisely……..in my youth I would have expended much time and effort pointlessly……

Senor Kanacki, buen viaje mi amigo…….vaya con Dios y viva Christo Rey
 

Ah yes, I remember the younger, wilder and carefree years. Although I didn't travel to foreign lands. and search for unimaginable large treasures, I found that many treasures exist close to home. In one way or another, I managed to find my share of these treasures, some were not of monitary value, but were of life lessons. Still, I envy those who haven't been restrained by lifes day to day rat race. Somewhere along the way making a living and caring for those you love, the glamour sometimes dulls over time. No regrets here either. There are a few things I may have done differently now that I am looking back, but mostly I am satisfied with how my life, wisdom and health have gone. Don't get me wrong, I am not done yet, many treasures await someone with the tenacity and patience to seek them. Some are like fine aged wine, being sweeter with age. Keep hunting. rockhound
 

rockhound, I have always said that those that stay at home and tend to their responsibilities were the better men.

Sometimes it takes more courage to stick to a grinding, boring job than it does to run away -- effectively.

As for treasures in the states, there are many, go, go get them I salute you Rockhound.
 

Hola TT


I awoke after a grandpa nap. One gets these little naps as they come these days. Indeed I think it will be a long time before the next one my friend. They was a little upset as they had a naval helicopter borrowed. And few of their higher up was ducking and weaving with embarrassment fearing their career wise. As Crow said at the time Hey, ya got it back! The events leading up to that is a funny story. But sadly that is for another time and place as we my friend are all slaves to whims of great magnet. Whose force is pulling into my next voyage.

You know I was once told there is a time in everyone life you become invisible? I never knew what that meant at the time? Its an age thing where others here would relate too. There is a certain point in live the system gives you up as its deemed its sucked the best years of your life out of you. So you become obsolete. You will know it when day arrives my friend. Its a time of life, of changes and the bitter reality one is getting older. Yet in ones mind you are in denial. The first sign is the years start speeding up. I cannot remember Christmas coming around so fast? Hey when did time speed up? And my kids I held in my arms that seen like yesterday are now taller and stronger than me. Then grandchildren start getting taller than you. Most frightening of all you never seem to get rid of middle age spread. And where was that hair so shiny and bright going thin and fading to grey. Just as I look into that mirror my friend I see a stranger standing there and where was that handsome chap you used to know? who stole him?

The charm may be still there but looks are raggedy around the edges these days my friend. And what of the devil may care look that shone for attention of that dishy young women behind the counter to be served? The look is still there, but the shine is much duller as all younger people are served around you like my friend you guess it? Like the light has gone out and you have become invisible, just another tired old face lost in a crowd, one of billions of lost soul fading into the backwaters of their lives trying to survive.

But some people refuse to fade my friend and they with all there might shine as much as they can. But even so the Cultural system we have created has deemed all those years of experience in graduating in school of hard knocks as nothing my friend. As the universal belief is that its time for new and out with the old. And old my friend is such a terrible word. It is burnt in invisible ink on your forehead like the mark of Cain. Marked for the remainder of your life that your time has gone and past. So my friend you have become, the invisible one who stalk the earth like ghosts. Authorities do not care about you anymore, you not a deemed a threat, Your beliefs are antiquated and your the proverbial dinosaur capable of doing nothing.

Such is way of life my friend and perhaps its all rightly so? But my friend every now and again you find some where in some place some old farts pulling one over on those who really run the show. And that my friend like a long kiss goodbye into the wind and gone, vanished into oblivion of the millions of used up faces., is priceless.

Which in the defiant Tenacity of it all earns a little awe from those who are walking in those same footsteps.

Kanacki
Kanaki,,,that tension has always been there...but people forget that there is difference between knowledge and wisdom,,the former may come by learning and being active,,but the latter usually by age...those societies ,companies ,churches,governments etc that recognize that and value wisdom reap the benefits,,,but those that chase away the old for the young and energetic are like coca cola bottle,,,it splushes out quickly overfilling your glass but after a minute it has evaporated and the glass is half filled.Hence I belive you can offer for the young and whoever wants to listen some lessons of life and wisdom.

P.S. please forward these links to crow.Tell him the "menorah saga" we were analyzing has continued with some recent news

Knowing that a tomato is a fruit is just knowledge.

Knowing, not to put it in a fruit salad, is wisdom.

Sticking a straw into a bottle of catsup, does not make it a fruit smoothie either.
Don't ask how I know that.

Thanks for the encouragement. Actually I rather enjoyed being a provider and caretaker for my family, as most here are also. I had the chance several times to go on lengthy expeditions and on occasions I did go. I always enjoyed the comradarie of my companions and was truly thankful for the chance to bond with some real mentors when I was younger. I was steered in a certain direction early on and never swayed much from that path. As I became older and wiser, I could see what they were trying to instill in me. A value I have cherished all my life. Although I never left the country, my yearnings were, at least partially satisfied. I can still spin many yarns of adventures I did undertake. As I I gotten deepen into my book though, I have been pulled toward a mixture of outdoor and job related adventures and mishaps. Many are funny now looking back, even if they could have turned out to be serious in nature at the time. I really enjoy the many tales brought here from adventurous people in other parts of the world. In a way it is almost like living the experience yourself. Many here have exceptional writing skills and should publish their own book. Good luck. rockhound
 

Here is a video ( 1 hr ) that I found very interesting in that it tends to confirm many of my conclusions, including psychic healing and dowsing.etc.





Go to 'wi-fi in schools, Why, why not'

HOWDY MIKEL,

ALL GOOD HERE AMIGO, VERY LITTLE WIND, AND JUST 2 3/4" OF RAIN OVER A 5 HOUR PERIOD. YOU PROBABLY GOT MORE RAIN THAN I DID, THANKS FOR YOUR CONCERN. MY PRAYERS TO THOSE WHO GOT THE WORST OF IT.

HOMAR
 

We got 1/4 inch.
The storm didn't cross the Arkansas river, that I am aware of.
Glad you are okay.

Do you know where Ore de sock coffee and Mrs. Ore are?
I'm sure there are many more that i do not know of.

I have lived through two tornadoes. Maybe I get a little more aware than the average ttreasure hunter.

I have family in Houston and some north of Waco, that I haven't heard from or about yet.

Prayers for all to be safe and sound.
