Story -
"Spanish TH is located in de desert. Spanish TH may be the site of a fantastic treasure. The story goes like this. In 1750 a band of French and Spanish renegades pushed through this way, loaded with loot stolen from churches in Mexico. Aware that they were being followed by a party of Indians, they sought a place to conceal their treasure before the anticipated attack by the approaching red-men. In the waning hours of the day, they found a cave and in it stored their vast plunder. The delay cost them their lives. The Indians attacked before a defensive position could be prepared and the Spanish and French were wiped out. In recent years there was discovered on a rock formation the crudely carved figures of a Papal Cross and the Cross of Lorraine, small but very evident. A US Judge believed this indicated that the Spanish-French treasure was hidden somewhere near there, most likely in a cave that had been carefully sealed up. He pointed out that the long standing popularity of location as a camping place and landmark, would have more than likely brought the Spanish-French party along this route. The judge died before he could launch a full scale search for the treasure.
Vandals and litterbugs have desecrated the area with all kinds odd miscl metal and other sharp thingies, and if this continues it will soon be closed to the public."
I have been to the site and it is a bi---kitty to search, I could drive up near the tack named Span TH with a 4-wheel drive and a lot of hope I would drive back out with yet inflated tires. The bushes are so tangled together I could barely walk there. I beat the bushes and said "Shoo Snake!" a lot.
I found no caves in the green bushy are east of the boulder area. Maybe they were covered up over the years.
