It's not hard to lose a cache - or anything else that might be in the great outdoors (and come to think of it, what the heck did I do with my remote) - in the house.
Trappers lose traps all the time, and people lose themselves in the wilderness - heck, if you can lose yourself (get lost), why is it so incredible that someone could lose a cache if: they died and didn't give good directions to a relative, or, if there were many floods that changed the roads (we all know what the roads in the desert are - washes - that can change with any gully-washer) or - if there was some other act of god - like an earthquake - we know there have never been any of those in the areas we are discussing, right?
Of course, if they had used their GPS's in the 1800's, I guess nothing would be lost - oh - forgot, they used things like rocks and cactus and stones with holes, to "read" where they were, and that was incredibly accurate, heh?
Since there HAVE been cache's found, I see no reason why there are not others. People today hide their valuables - and they are no different than the old-timers.
This is not a case of just one adventure story, and it has been lost and found and lost and found, more than a couple of times. (though I still think that if you are using the Peralta Stones to find it, you are wasting your time).
I really do not understand the concept of having a "guide" - heck, if you knew where you were going, you sure wouldn't take ME there, it would already be found. Much like some other folks who take people up into the Supers, they do not know where it is, so they don't know where to take people, just "up into the mountains, where.................."
