HEY! We're a little off of the Padre La Rue Story. Albert O is mistaken unless every story about the location of the Padre La Rue gold I have ever read is wrong. As I posted in the Victorio Peak String:
"One days travel North of El Paso del Norte until you see three peaks. Upon first site of these peaks turn Eastward and cross the desert towards the mountains. In the mountains you will find a basin, where there is a spring at the foot of a solitary peak. On this peak you will find gold." Padre LaRue moved his flock to that basin. Nowhere near Victorio Peak which is near the Western Edge of White Sands Missile Test Range.
That description tends to fly in the face of THIS treasure being found in Ok. There may have been some other gold cache found there, but not Padre La Rue's.
