Original Peralta Stone Map Photos

alan has the maps all figured out and has probably found them:laughing7:

The best thing i've read this year I think Frank posted "map making factory".

Don't forget the 2 confederate caches left......

should we give them a hint as to the location ?
 

My question to anyone who cares to answer. If TT carved the stones, why the pockmarked back of the lower trail map? Exactly what purpose does that serve?

George at the SMM told me the were casting bubbles
 

I have been waiting for someone to post a pic of that infamous coloring book years......still waiting

I did see a photo of Travis daughter siting on the hood of his car holding the coloring book in question
 

The question you should be asking is what did Travis use as a guide for his map carvings.
 

there again...you would have to ask ryan...it was a very old book..thats all i know about it

That claim still has to be backed up, otherwise it's just still a claim, according to the standards you established. I don't see what's so hard about posting a picture of that coloring book or the title- surely it doesn't contain proprietary information? :icon_scratch:

Or maybe Blake ran off with the coloring book too.
 

Travis had a sense of humor at least. He carved his Priest stone with only one thing in mind. He was influenced very much by one photo and Movie as a child. That photo which he claimed was from a coloring book came from a well known source.

Yes, perhaps there's a message in that carved rock somehow linked to L. Frank Baum's thinly veiled monetary allegories in the "Wizard of Ounces" .. er, I mean, "Oz".

So, are these pictures in the Public Domain?

My response you're talking about is under the photo's in said post. Travis forged many maps. Now we learn he also forged the parchment and skin maps he used for part of the stones. I would be highly suspect of anything at all this man was associated with. As time goes on his credibility goes down even more. Was there ever a real map? If all of this came from a child's coloring book maybe that's why it appeals to so many people. He's the "Captain Kangaroo" and " Mr Rogers" of Treasure!

It appeals to the small child in those that want to believe in fairy tales...

You must be referring to an ounce of Hamlin's Wizard Oil?



I just love that horse!

Humping a haystack?

you are definitely a democrat..lol..always begging for something but offering nothing...like i told you..i have seen the pic in question but do not own it....if you really want to see it you could always drive to texas and spend a couple months there and maybe they will show it to you..the facts have all been presented...you just refuse to accept them:BangHead:
 

Dave you and I pretty much viewed the same evidence. Heard the same history. Came to the same conclusion.
True stoners don't want to hear it and will never accept it. You can't kill a dream. I have a slide of Travis and Phil and I think Miller searching. Remind me I'll show you at Dons camp. They also had a dream. Travis told that story on the stones. Everyone should look at what Travis based that dream on.

I'm not going to do anything except think that coloring book is nothing more than an unsubstantiated claim because I haven't seen a picture of it, much less a drawing of a horse similar to the horse on the H/P stone. Unless someone is willing to post a picture of it, or at least share the title of the book, the "coloring book" remains a myth to me.
