TWO SIGNS LEFT TO I.D. MINE, AS SPANISH, FRENCH, OR JESUIT.

YESTERDAY I WATCHED THREE YOUNG MEN SWIMMING IN THE OCEAN SPIN AROUND AND SWIM WITH ALL OF THEIR MIGHT TOWARD A SIXTY YEAR OLD MAN THAT WAS TRAPPED IN A RIP TIDE.
THEIR TIRELESS EFFORT AGAINST THE WAVES AND THEIR ENDURANCE TO PULL THE OLD MAN TO SAFETY WAS NOTHING SHORT OF A MIRICAL.
IF THEY HAD FAILED I WOULD NOT BE ALIVE TO POST THE EVENT THAT SAVED MY LIFE.

ONE TO TWO FOOT WAVES CHANGED TO THREE TO FIVE FOOT.
I WAS SWEPT UP THEN UNDER IN A MATTER OF SECONDS AND HAD ONLY ONE BREATH WITH WHICH TO CALL FOR HELP.

THEY RESPONDED WITHOUT CONCERN FOR THEIR OWN LIVES.

THESE ARE TRUE HEROES. MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS ALL OF THEM.

MIKEL, THAT SHOWS THAT THERE ARE STILL SOME GOOD HEARTED FOLKS AROUND REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE NEWS MEDIA REPORT.
 

I WOULD LOVE TO TELL THE NEWS FOLKS AN EAR FULL ABOUT MY THREE HEROES.
THEY SHOULD BE IN THE NEWS. I ASKED THEIR NAMES AS THEY LET ME PUT MY FEET BACK ON THE OCEAN FLOOR.
I SHOULD HAVE ASKED AGAIN AS THE ONLY ONE I CAN RECALL IS ONE NAMED LEON.
I HOPE TO SEE THEM AGAIN BEFORE WE LEAVE FOR HOME.

HOWDY MIKEL,

HEY, GLAD YER STILL WITH US BUDDY.

MAN I DID THAT ON MY 23 BIRTDAY, AT SCOTCHMAN'S COVE,

SO. OF NEWPORT BEACH. I TOLD THE STORY LONG AGO ON TREASURE SPIRITS...

ANYWAY, I THOUGHT I'D TRY THE BIGGER LOOKIN WAVES, OVER FROM WHERE MY

FRIENDS WERE BODY SURFING, AND IT WAS RIP TIDE CITY. I WAITED TILL THE 7 TH

WAVE OF THE SET, GETTING POUNDED, BOUNCED OFF THE SANDY OCEAN FLOOR,

SPUN ALL THE WAY AROUND AND OVER, AND SHOOK PRETTY GOOD EVERY TIME.

I DRAGGED MYSELF OUT AFTER 7, KNOWING IF I DIDN'T, I WOULDNT HAVE THE

STRENGTH FOR ANOTHER SET OF 7, DRAGGED MYSELF OUT WITH ALL MY MIGHT,

GOOD THING I WAS PRETTY SKINNY THEN, 'BOUT 134 LBS. SOAKING WET, WITH

A COUPLE OF BEERS IN MY BELLY, AND BRONZE HAIR PART WAY DOWN MY BACK.

GLAD YOU ARE OK BROTHER, GOTTA' BE SO VERY CAREFUL ABOUT THAT,

LORD BLESS AND KEEP YOU, HAVE LOTS OF FUN, BUT TAKE GOOD CARE...

MIKEL,
JUST LIKE 10CLAW SAID, THERE ARE STILL GOOD PEOPLE WHO DO GOOD THINGS,

AT THE RIGHT PLACES AND THE RIGHT TIMES. SOMETIMES THEY ARE HEROES,
SOMETIMES ANGELS. GLAD THEY WERE THERE FOR YOU.

Wow! Glad to have you posting Mikel. It makes us count our blessings, and made me reflect on my own heroes. Both of my brothers have been saved from drowning. My older brother like me, can't swim, and was saved by two close friends. My younger brother is an expert swimmer but got cramped, and saved by one of his best friends. These were on different occasions, and I am forever grateful for them to still have my brothers.

Homar that is amazing.
There are many unsung heroes out there every day.

I have finally gotten a pre-arranged meeting with both landowners families.

This is the begining of a new and very important chapter.

I, and one representative from each family will hammer out the details of a contract that will protect the land and its history and provide financial details for generations to come.

IFeel like a kid again.
Without the riptide this time.

It will take time but we are moving forward.

HAPPY HUNTING EVERYONE.

Just a quick note. About posts 185 & 189 about the cave.
When I spoke to the lady that owns that part of the land, I mentioned the cave and she said that she had been in the opening, about where I made it to, and she couldn't go in. She had known about the cave for years as " Dead Man's Cave" because there was a dead man found in it, long before her husband bought the land.
She thaught i was nuts for going in far enough to take two pictures.
I have to admit, it's making me wonder about it.

Working on the skeleton of the contract between two families and myself.
Representing the common goals for the land that will protect the historic site while freeing enough work space to re-open the mine, has proven to be a daunting task.

I still have a few weeks to get that laid out. That was not suppose to be the hard part. I almost feel panicked...
