Why did Travis Tumlinson Fake the Stone Maps as a Hoax?

hoseman1,

Does your name have anything to do with hoseA and hoseB? That's a bad joke. Pay no attention.

So the maps lead to Texas and are not a hoax ?

This is not a single issue project....It has many facets and leads down many paths. Many of you are very right. There is FAR more to all of this than any of us imagined. I think you will be surprised, vindicated, re-educated and most definitely entertained.

With that ...........I'd like to introduce a new twist to the old story. Enjoy........more, much more to come.

There are those who think I've been yelling fire. I think a few are starting to smell some smoke. That was well said Linda.

I'm sure that there's much more going on in Texas than most of us, including myself, are aware of. I find the new revelations, and maps interesting. I become critical and suspect of these things when they appear to be driven by monetary motives. Treasure hunting is one thing. Attempting to pique everyone's interest to buy a book, see a movie or documentary, or buy any product is questionable. I believe that there is enough information available in the public domain to figure things out. Whether someone is willing to invest the time and effort is another story. So is the truth.

You are kidding right? Treasure is motivated by monetary gain. If treasure wasn't worth any money nobody would hunt for it.

 

[oldpueblo]

As I said, treasure hunting is entirely different than selling a book or a documentary.Treasure is also in the eye of the beholder.

weversNeedle, you posted --- You are kidding right? Treasure is motivated by monetary gain. If treasure wasn't worth any money nobody would hunt for it.

In the case of Tayopa, that must not be true. I sure as haven't made a cent off it, in fact---. Sorta like a White elephant gift.

For those who think there is something sinister afoot, let me reinterate. I am not making one thin dime off of any of this. Not now, not in the future. In fact; its a major distraction from my company, which does put meat on my table. But; that's my fault because I'm having a ball being in the hunt.

Whatever is posted here is posted (as I've told you) because you guys played a role, (and some continue to play a role,) in bringing this story to the light of day. As limited as it is its a way to gave back to those that have helped along the way. Little or limited as it may be.

It is our hope and mission to present the story as factually as possible. What can be documented is being documented. When stories deviate from one another, and each has merit, it is our hope to present both (or more) with supporting evidence to each.

Due to forces beyond my control in this forum I'm acting as a go-between. The base of knowledge here is outstanding. The list is long and the contributions many, for which we are grateful and humbled. Many folks have been very generous with their time and knowledge. Just as sure as I begin to name names I will forget an important contributor and I don't mean to. Joe, Oro, Homar, Deducer, Hal, Matthew, Greg, Mike, CW, Garry, Larry, Somehiker, Marius, Don Jose, Relevant, those names quickly come to mind. Thank you. You have shared your knowledge here and some privately. Its appreciated.

What can be shared at this time, is being shared. Its limited, for that I apologize. It is what it is. Accept it for what it is. But; don't think for one second I am profit motivated. I find that quite insulting.

Last I knew, this forum was for entertainment and information sharing. If you find neither in my post hit the "next" button. No body is forcing you against your will to read anything.

Now that we know what your role is in this Hoax can we get back to the subject?

 

[cw0909]

see Frank has it all figed out, just a shortcut through the sup Mtns
TT just hadnt put it in writing yet lol

Of course your unaware. That's why its called secret. Why would there be a need to prove anything to you. Your not involved. The things found are not new. Just private and rediscovered. I was only pointing out the public history of the stones is not the private history. I get tired reading all the bull on the subject. Instead of laughing at what was presented on the Legend show you should have payed more attention to my theory. Turns out I was correct. So I guess the little I posted was my way of saying KMA.

Why certainly, I didn't know my permission was required. Do you have something intelligent and informative to share with us? Please do share your thoughts on the "hoax" and why it was perpetrated and upon whom it was perpetrated. Don't hold back on your reasons. We might get the wrong idea of your motivations.

It's curious to me that the books, videos and whatever else are seemingly already in the works here. Not that the operators shouldn't make some dough using all the "new revelations" - they have every right to exploit the new allegations, and I suspect a lot of folks will eat it up. Nothing wrong with getting a payback for all the effort expended during the last year.

One thing surprises me: the fact that we're hearing anything at all about the new material. If this was me and I obtained an alleged "authentic treasure map", I'd be in the hills, not producing media.

Just as I thought! Your self serving diatribe is going no where just more BS.

You like Federally supplied bologna and cheese sandwiches and full time Federal housing with a security system?

Yeah, in good time. One step at a time (and in the right order) makes for a better plan.

Ponchos, I think it best we agree to disagree. Happy hunting and may your path be pleasant. Peace be with you.

Kinda harsh..and premature calling hoax without knowing the actual W.W.H.W.W.'s and what maps yet.

I'd like to go off topic and define a well oiled brace of hounds and all the time and work involved in graduating to a pack..
It sure relates to chasin legends with a group.
However for brevity's sake before calling a chase sour I'll let the hounds do their thing. I did not train this bunch runnin out west so criticizing by me ain't going to gain any favor..
Multiple lines to run ..not just one. That takes time and conditioning, experience , and sure leads/correct scent.
It is enough to hear one's voice on occasion to assure forward progress and they can get delayed at checks but at least their hunting.
Eventually a conclusion will be reached despite speculations of all events on the way.
My last decades + hunting companion does not voice.
Got to watch his eyes and ears.
Lucky for us we get more info than that , and updates despite the negative a hound would shrug off and keep hunting with or without encouragement or acknowledging the gallery.
Encouragement goes much farther though , fires them up positively. Still....They're gonna run anyway , with or without a certain audience.

Logical to be putting a valid map to use. Depending on it's owner(s).
Some one may be /is more interested in documenting the history of events and the questions and the people and environs in a way that relates to their curiosity more than the /a treasure maps end , though that counts as part of the whole.
No doubt by me that the resource of a legitimate map would not be ignored though , if not already being run.
