I’m just in the pre pre-planning stage. Going to let it warm up some.sorry bud.. i wish i could.. be safe if you go alone..
4i might be back out the end of march or beginning of april.. how many days are you planning to get in and out..
This area is what I think depicts the doodle. It’s not lined up perfectly because I wasn’t all the way up near the top but just on the first step. Everyone has their own opinions and ideas and I’m curious to see if I can come up with something up on Coffee Flat. The hard part is finding the time to make a move on the path forward. I don’t take it so seriously anymore and just try to get some fun out the experience. You should try to make it over here sometime soon and check it out Marius. You won’t regret it.Stroker
IMHO, the doodle should not be read backwards/reversed. The image from the doodle should be seen from a specific spring and from there someone has to follow other clues in regards to find the LDM. The doodle was drew by Waltz while was telling the German clues to Julia and Reinhard. So goes like this:
"Ein hoher berg steht zu dem osten.”
A high mountain is to the east.
“Ein tiefes tal lieft zu dem wester.”
A deep valley lies to the west.
Schav fur die felsenspitze die Mexicaner benutzten die felsenspitze al sein anhaltspunkt.”
Look for the spire, the Mexicans used the spire as their marker.
“Zu dem westen kannst du den sehen.”
You can see it to the west.
Ok. Then I wish you to have a lot of fun out of the trips you will make. Take a good camera because i like to see the LDM region from afar.This area is what I think depicts the doodle.

It`s been told that some cowboy named Robles witnessed Waltz going up the canyon on the north side of Coffee Flat Mountain. So why would he waste his efforts to go there if he knew the mine was somewhere else? Maybe it was easier to go up the north side then come down on the south side where there is an area that has a square rock, you can see 4 Peaks and Weavers Needle just like the doodle but backwards. Does anybody know of a way to get up there or a link to some photos from up there. I`m planning on trying to get up there in the future. I want to explore that area and check out the heart shape to see if it`s man made or natural. Who was Robles? =Robe less
These guys went up the same way I did last time out there. I followed some deer but didn’t go all the way up.Chuck,

This is the canyon Waltz is referred to going up on the North side of Coffee Flat Mountain (near the red number 14). Picacho Peak is the highest point on Coffee Flat.
Yes you can get all the way to the top of Picacho Peak using that canyon but it is very rough, there is no trail and you cannot get horses up it. Someone might be able to get a burro or a mule up there today but would be difficult. I had a mining claim up in that canyon in 1982. The Harnish brothers had blanket claimed the entire lower part of the canyon and down into LaBarge. The canyon is known to old timers as Coffee Flat canyon.
To my knowledge Gabriel Robles, a cowboy from the Florence AZ area told this story about Waltz. He got the story from his father, also a cowboy, who allegedly knew Waltz. Gabriel Robles was one of the men who searched for the missing Adolph Ruth with Tex Barkley and Jeff Adams.
