What can I say…I feel like I am a real life Forrest Gump…I have found: wire gold, silver, platinum, and even diamond…

Heck, I have even been to several areas I believe to be areas of treasure legends…I have solved the Peralta Stones which lead to the legendary Cursum Perficio aka Tesoro de Santa Fe…As well as a few other sites…

I have even written a few poems in my day…So what should I do next?

Only time will tell…Maybe some day a well to do treasure hunter will ante up and make the trip to Santa Fe…Who knows
We will jest have to wait and see…

Capn Bill is that you?? Did you reincarnate?

No Capn Bill here Boogeyman…But I do remember his avatar…I believe it was a jeep towing a trailer…Or something to that effect…

I will admit that I have been around a lot longer than my account states…I am currently on my 3rd account…The first two being Ed T and bluedeer, I believe…

I have seen quite a few come and go…And this place seems too lose a little more of its appeal with the passing of each member…

Not one of us knows exactly how much time remains in our hourglasses, as the sands of time slip away…

I only wish I could have spent as much time in Mexico as Capn Bill and the Tropical Tramp Don Jose de La Mancha…

I will continue to hope that one day, IF God is willing, I will retire in Mexico…

Yeah, He plugged along in an old wagoneer. Made him jealous with my Grand Wagoneer when he was hanging out in Phoenix. He was good at reading snipits from the web & adapting them to his own adventures. Imagine reading one of my old adventures from the 1970s and not recalling seeing him there? His buddy down on Indian school put the cam in his jeep after he got in over his head. Never worked as good as the jeep magazine article said it would. Yep, he made me a firm believer in chest waders....

I’m not sure who told the better tale: Capn Bill, Not Peralta, Don Jose, or Azdave…There have been quite a few around here who told some tall tales…

I was just a child in 72…And it seemed as if I didn’t have a care in the world…And now that I’m grown, I worry about what life may be like in another 10 years…

I guess we will just have to wait and see…I hope things are better than they are today…At times I think life might have turned out much better IF I had just kept my mouth shut…

After all…It would appear that it would be much easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle…

As IF I could be whom I claim to be…lol…I doubt my seal will ever be returned…Oh well…Life will go on as it always has…Who knows how much sand is left in mankind’s giant hourglass…

It would appear that California’s drought is over…Lake Powell and lake Meade are still in the balance…Such is life…

This is the little house I can rent for $100 per month in Mexico…It is a little 1 bedroom on the outskirts of town…It needs a lot of work and I was told I would be responsible to do the work…

I will have to think about it some more…I hope it will still be available if I ever do decide to move to Mexico…I have been thinking about asking if I can get the rate for a 6 month trial basis…

I believe I can have a yesero do the interior work for 100 pesos per meter…

Only time will tell…That is my friends wife…My amigo who is in dire straits…I hope he pulls through but I think it may take a miracle…

[JohnWhite]

It is a diamond in the rough…But I can walk to a granite pegmatite from the little house…Oh well…One day I will be able to live the dream…

Ed T

 

[JohnWhite]

My amigo tells me that the roof is the only major problem that exists with the little house…And they assure me that a good yesero should be able to make the ceilings as good as new for around $250…But if I want to go all out, the entire interior could be done for between $500-$600…😃

I will take in their words and sleep on it…IF I can pay off my loan sooner than later…I just might try harder to convince them into trying a 6 month lease…

Who knowsIF all goes well, I just may sign a 5 year lease agreement…I was told I won’t need a fiador IF I agree to perform the work needed…

I had a nice conversation with my psychiatrist today and she asked me how soon am I planning on moving to Mexico…I couldn’t give her a definite answer…It is something that I have been dreaming about for quite some time…

Only God knows IF I will ever make said dream come true…Good night everyone…

Ed T✌️

 

[JohnWhite]

My psychiatrist asked me some questions yesterday that got me thinking…I have been thinking that IF I move to Mexico, for any extended period of time, I could possibly try to organize some of my poems into a book or two…I do have over 1,200 poems posted on the internet, not to mention many others which are not online…I am even thinking that I can write some new ones about living the simple life in a new environment…Who knows if there might be any chance of me ever becoming a published poet

Who knows what the future holdsI might just try to retrace some of the steps that I took so many years ago…

Sweet dreams people…Tomorrow will bring a new day…

Ed T

 

[JohnWhite]

Well…I have set a tight budget to open up the possibility to make my dream come true within 4 months…Of course I will have to cut back on certain things but I do believe it may be doable…I guess we will have to take the wait and see approach…I hope things will work out…

Enjoy the rest of your evening people…I think I will try to get some early shut eye…

Either way I have really enjoyed talking with you here. You have opened my eyes some and that is priceless.
Hope things work well for you.

It has been nice meeting and conversing with you as well…

I’m sure I will still be around…I also hope that I will have much more to share…

I hope to track down Don Gabino’s son…I would like to ask him IF he still has any of his dad’s items that he showed me so many years ago…I wonder IF he has the little stone that appears to have been fashioned by a native with an XVIII on one side and I can’t recall what image is on the other…

I am just hoping on a 4 month timeline…There are so many other variables that can mess up my plans…I have a couple other things in the works that can throw off said schedule and there is no guarantee that the little house will still be available when I want it to be ready…

We will just have to wait and see…I can always dream of it happening but reality is a totally different thing…

That is good that you will still be around.
4 months is not to long to wait for us that are interested.
It appears you have strong breadcrumbs to track back with. Good for you.
I hope all goes well even if things don't fully pan out. Stay safe.

Enjoying life is the important factor here.

If push comes to shove I will break down a buy me a little house that is on a ranch out of town…Several years ago it was up for sale for $100,000 pesos, which is less than $6000 dollars…It may not be near a granite pegmatite but it will be my house and I will still be able to play with minerals…That is IF the inhabitants of the rancho will accept me and let me purchase the house…My kids tell me that I have lost my mind… lol

Only time will tell…
