People often say stuff like, "if I could just into the back of his mind" or "what was he thinking". In Frank's case, it was something like this, he knew that the Spanish Exploration Expeditions were there Early or shortly after the collapse of the Aztecs Nation or within 100 years of it. When at Robber's Roost, there is no mistaking of what your looking at, in Frank's day a set of Good Binocular's was a Must. Sure, you can see the Wolf's Face, Thunderbird, Crosses and Serpent all from the Inyo-Red Rock Road (which for much of it that skirts the western side of Black Mountain and is the Boundary for the El Paso Peak Wilderness) at the apropriate time and varying positions, but your up close to the Mountain and to get the Bigger Picture, it takes Distance. Put yourself in Frank Fish's Place in the early 1950's, Frank might have been a Loner, but he did make associations. GRANDFATHER, located a Old Spring for Frank, actually at that time, Frank was in Association with some other Treasure Hunters and they Hired Grandfather to find this Old Watering Place. This is just South of the Town of MOHAVE (Hwy 58 & Hwy 6 - now Hwy 14). This report has been around for a Long Time, it was even in an Old Long John Latham True Treasure Magazine of the 70's, today you can still find the legend of the report in the GPAA CLAIMS BOOK. This is the Old Watering Place GRANDFATHER FOUND for FRANK FISH and the Associated Members...." KERN COUNTY, LOST TREASURE, Near Mohave by the old Borax Wagon Train Road there is a flat-topped hill that stands alone on the desert floor. At the foot of this hill treasure hunters have found sixteenth century Spanish weapons, cooking utensils, armor and coins."........SIXTEENTH CENTURY...!.....And I have the List of Who's Who in that Association. Actually, one turns out to be a Friend of mine later on in Life, quite My Senior ofcourse, cause when all of this was happening, I was sitting in front of a Philco Black & White TV set watching Roy Rogers & Gene Autry take care of the Bad Guys and Buffalo Bob & Howdy Doody, The Red Skelton Show and more than I can relate here, hee,hee. But if you Review Charles "Chuck" Kenworthy's Book "TREASURE, Signs, Symbols, Shadows & Sun Signs", you will find out just how remarkable his book co-incides with the MTN....hee,hee......hint,hint...hee,hee....oh, this just opens up a whole new world or what's the saying, what goes around, comes around?...But that's not the Friend I was talking about, sure, I went and tracked down Mr. Kenworthy and spent 1 or 2 hours with him. When he wouldn't give alot of people the time of day, once he found out who I was and what I was after, he opened up a little bit and was quite congenuile and gracious to me, ofcourse he never opened up the books of time for me. I elected not to put any of this in the Book, mostly from the insistance from this other Friend, but I can say that YES, Mr. Kenworthy was Active in Research in this SPECIFIC AREA. Ofcourse I got lot's of tidbits and info from a wide variety of other sources as well, which I will not relate here. But to give you a little bit of Personal Family History here which does relate to the topic, My Mom's 1st cousin Florine Jordan (a Direct Great Grandaughter of Captain John Jordan of the KERNVILLE Area, 1st White Man to Drown in the Kern River 1850's, Plus Alot More) was married to WENDELL CHRISTIANSON WHEATON, Uncle Wendell as we called him was Also a Friend of FRANK FISH, Chuck Kenworthy and a Whole Lot More. If there's any real old timer's out there, maybe you knew my uncle Wendell. He spent lot's of time in the KOKOWEEF Area. I have some of his stuff. Him and Florine also spent lot's of time in the Kern area and the Desert of the Mohave. They both were Expert GemCutters, Rock Hounds, Prospector's, Treasure Hunters, etc..They spent several weeks in the Red Rock (RED ROCK CANYON STATE PARK, HWY 14) in the mid 1950's and had a joyus time with the Cast and Crew on the Movie Set with BURL IVES, CHUCK O'CONNOR & GREGORY PECK, GENE SIMMONS and Others while they Filmed "THE BIG COUNTRY". They had made Camp north of the Red Rock somewhere out by BONANZA GULCH, that's where Uncle Wendell Found an Old SPANISH BREASTPLATE, HILT OF A SWORD and a Few Coins.......16TH CENTURY !....Remarkably at the Very End of that Movie after the Final Big Gunfight in Blanco Canyon (oh yeah, Charleston Heston was in it too!) anyways, Gregory Peck and Gene Simmons is riding off into the sunset...THROUGH ROBBER'S ROOST...and just for a brief second, you can see the MTN., BLACK MOUNTAIN in the Background! When I had first started out (beginning of my book) my Old Friends Bones and Gene of the WILD BURRO MINE, IRON CANYON, their Caretaker "OLD JIM" related on how his buddy "TIGER" had found lot's of Old Spanish Artifacts somewhere between LAST CHANCE CANYON & SHEEP SPRINGS.......more later.....Darrell
