Hello hunters,
I’ve followed this site for more than a year. Didn’t make the effort to join until today. As I have little to add to the wonderful base of knowledge here, I didn’t see it necessary. No disrespect meant, I just didn’t have anything of value to share. I do appreciate all that has been shared for me to read.
As my user name reflects I’m far too old to consider hiking the Superstitions. Would, that I could. I’m no threat to anyone’s stake in the hunt.
I have enjoyed the Legends show and look forward to further episodes. Putting faces and voices with the names is definitely a plus. The personalities are just as I suspected and add much to the entertainment value.
As to the drama, its television entertainment. I take it or leave it for what it is. Its entertainment not a history class. Nuggets of history mixed in, but sorting them out is what makes it interesting.
The scenery is spectacular. I have, in years past, traveled the Southwest. It’s a magical place. Nothing like it anywhere else. Until you have seen it with your own eyes you never really understand or appreciate the words of the song……purple mountain’s majesty……. It’s breathtaking.
There are a couple things I would like to comment on. Thus, my reason for logging in.
As to the horse of the Santa Fe. As has been noted, not only can one find documentation of the horse head imposed on a topo map, you can actually see it for yourself. Not only the head, but the entire outline of the horse can be traced, quite easily, in available on-line satellite aerials. The horse depicted on the stone maps, with it nuisances, ear set, stance, etc. is quite visible with little effort. Also viewable (be it a little more difficult) is the counter interpretation of the elephant. I make no correlation of being able to outline the drawing and its authenticity as a treasure map. That’s up to one’s own research and beliefs. All I’m saying is……….its there.
What I do find very compelling (at least in my mind) is that its in the right area. Based on the clues that “I” consider factual, Waltz area of interest was the south-southeast flank of the Superstitions. Its relationship and distance to Florence Junction places it in the right part of the territory. Still no small area to hunt but narrows the field, at least for my interest.
I read the article yes, but IMHO it is not really worth buying as Azmula doesn't reveal the source behind his theory that the Stones were originally found at the Nuestra Señora de la Asunción in Arizpe. Until he does, or I find independent confirmation, I will continue to consider that theory a speculation.
After seeing the second show, I'm ready for a real spaghetti western now

I have a Map that shows the area the Stones were found is next to a small mountain just to the west of that bridge. I looked in that area around the bridge but did not find the Cactus with the carved thumb pointing to the Maps. Only Cactus like that was where the Map said it was at a campsite next to the that small mountain. I'm looking for the Map in my Archives. Haven't found it yet I'll post when I do.
I believe the Priest and Horse Map is the Final Map and the other map's long range symbolism is coded in Solar Time.
Of course I never make my Beliefs based on pure speculation, it's from actual experience.
I'm not old to look but you know my hiking stick may let her down!
Wow Bob, those first two maps are crazy.
Hey Randy, Bill here not Bob. You know me too. It's been a long time. Hope life's treating you and your family well.
I hope I didn't post someone else's Map. I accidentally posted Chuck's Map on the other thread.
Take care Randy
Jesus.
Yes, of course I have. No as much as I'd like, but I'm still out there.
i think you all are smokin crack.
