First off, YOU still need to write the book. Must I get cwp after you again? No, you would probably like that. :laughing7: As for the Gloria Pan, that one has been in the back of my mind for a while as well. I think there are enough clues in this thread, that one could find that one with a diligent search...but I'm not quite ready yet.

JB, go up the arroyo Gloria Pan - north of Tubares and the river Fuerte - until you come to where it turns to the left - N - look up for the ledge, climb up then continue to the N, until just before you come to the end you will see the portal closed wwith Arcilla -mud - youwill see the impresion of two hand prints to help; The portal was covered with pitch pine - acote - smoke to camoflage it. Open it and you will see the tunnel dividing, the right goes to the two upperworkings,the left to the two lower ones. More details if you wish.

Well there is only ONE person here that I am really jealous of - the guy that found the famous Tayopa mine complex, something I dreamed of finding! I am jealous of the libraries of a couple of other people as well. What I would like to see is getting back to the stories, so please fire away amigos! Keep in mind that everything posted belongs to T-net of course.

Hey TT,

I thought I'd made my mind up as to which way I was going to vote, but there seems to be splendid and perfect bs coming out in equal quantities from both th "Stay" and "Leave" camps. It is never going to be a 100 per cent certainty that the UK will lose or benefit entirely from either one. So, all in all, it's still an undecided from me...

With visas, even if we leave, they will still let us visit the continent and stay for some months without applying for extended leave as used to happen before.

I've got a treasure story to get Saturday night under way...:happy1:

This one's got the lot: gold, murder, pirates, some hanky-panky, crazy priest, weird rituals and a lonely mountain-top on a Caribbean island....

About two centuries ago, in present day Ecuador, there lived a priest who had a blonde lady in his congregation who was married to a Spaniard. This lady has been described as a bit of a nymphomaniac by all accounts and due to her habit, acquired a Frenchman as a 'friend'. The Spaniard did not know how exactly handle his wife and her cravings, and discussed this with the good padre. The padre feeling offended by this lady's behaviour and inline with his own religious conviction went to the house of Frenchie and forcibly brought back wifey to the Spaniard. At about this time, revolution against the Spanish yoke was working towards a fervour, and the Spaniard got wind of this and fled along with Blondie, Padre and his or in some versions the Padre's, black servant called Congo. The motley crew fled to some land owned by the Spanish chap in the interior where he was on good terms with the local natives.

During the time that this eclectic bunch were together, it appears that horny Blondie had brought out the lascivious desires that the Padre had until hitherto, kept in check. This unfortunately resulted in the murder of the poor Spaniard and the new partners - nymph and the failed priest - being put in prison for murder. When the liberators took control and threw the Spanish out of South America, the inmates were granted an amnesty. Rather than being grateful for a second chance, the lovers with the faithful servant Congo, gathered a handful of new adherents and left for pastures new and embarked on a career of piracy.

They managed to get themselves a ship and named it Emmanuel and started attacking ships in earnest in the Caribbean. Apparently they were acting with impunity and getting some decent scores. Word got around to the various port authorities that a pirate ship was operating under the command of a renegade priest who would preach whilst his small piratical crew attacked merchants and travellers in and around the islands therein, and a 'wild' blond woman ran naked all over the pirate ship.

As their reputation grew, their behaviour and modus operandi became more and more bizarre with apparent weird rituals taking place, Blondie being 'ravaged' by the Pirates on the orders of the mad priest and a fair treasure being accumulated and hidden atop a mountain location where an altar was made by this group to perform unsettling practices.

This continued until Congo was captured with one of the crew and in return for his life being spared, offered to reveal the hideout, the treasure and the crazy couple. The authorities sent 30 soldiers to seize the treasure and outlaws but when they entered the hideout, all they found was the altar and detritus from the gang's camp.

The crazy couple were never found; rumours surfaced some years later that a 'mad" white couple were living stark naked in the Venuzuelan rainforest with a native tribe....

As for the treasure, nothing was recovered although documents from the time show that there was a fair amount captured by the Pirates during their brief but impressive time on the high sea.....

If I am not mistaken, one of the Trio (well Quartet with Amy), looked into this and came across some very interesting and startling information and documents....:thumbsup:

NP. once when I was working the Bacatetes ( Yaqui territory) with some Yaqui's, one of our party became separated.Since it was running around 140 * in some of the canyons, we decided to bypass our drinking water source, located some 20 miles E in favor of using the water from a stock pond/dam.in the interests of saving time and possibly our lost companion.

We decided that boiling would make it palatable, However, we quickly found that despite several consecutive treatments, boiling, it still tasted, and smelled as if it had just come out of a cow or burro.

Since then I have had a aversion to cow or burro pee in any form. :laughing7::laughing7:

Appologies ???

Wait a minute.....you drank water that tasted like burro pee several times before you decided you didn't like it? :coffee2::coffee2::coffee2::coffee2::coffee2::coffee2::coffee2::coffee2::coffee2:
 

Amigo's and Amigo-ettes:coffee2:finally, after all this time the truth comes out:hello: Welcome to my world:alien::alien::alien: Were all kindred Spirits at heart.:notworthy:NP:cat:
PS, later I will talk about my roadrunner family's.
 

md, we figured that it was a good trade off for saving our lost companion. He was completely without any water for two days,. He voiced no complaints, but we all swore off any water from that stock pond, ugh.:coffee2::coffee2: <<--- sock coffee


THe things one wil do dor their companions, We always ended up with the same no at the end of a campaign -- note ORO .

Amigo', Amigo-ettes,A subject for good discussion would be all the little and big furry creatures we have all encountered on our adventures, I made lots of friends of all kinds,there were so many I dont even know were to start, at one of my camping area's in the mnts I was always visited by several families of ring tailed cats,I would go out of my way to make sure to bring them cans of potted meat,and beany weanys,they loved them, and for this they made great watch dogs,they would keep other creatures out of camp,especially pesky coons. here at home I have been helping raise roadrunners for about 15 years,they are really smart,I just had to mention them because every time they have babies they make me baby sit while they hunt,the adults bring them to my bushes for me to watch,I buy them at least three packs of hot dogs every week,they are great and loyal birds,and the babies are so cute,O well ,some one else please carry on,:hello:np:cat:
