I remember there was a Waltz clue of having to go past an Indian circle on the trail to get to his mine. Does anyone know what book or any related info to this clue? TIA
It's in the directions Waltz gave to Dick Holmes and Gideon Roberts on Waltzs deathbed.
.....you go through a saddle with a round Indian ruin of rocks......
I don't remember exactly where in the confession Waltz says this but it's probably near the rock that looks like a man and the four peaks looking like one.
There is nowhere within the Superstitions where Four Peaks looks like one,

Yes, I know I am like a broken record, hehe
alan,
You are absolutely correct. 3 of the peaks line up nicely but the last peak, the farthest, kicks off and while close, does not align with the other 3.
Al Reser and I were sitting on a high point of Tortilla mountain one time and discussing the four peaks alignment clue. Al said to me, the 3 closest peaks line up perfectly and there is a line going through the Superstitions that you can follow that alignment. Maybe Waltz eyesight wasn't that good and to him four peaks did appear to align. Al felt the alignment of the 3 peaks that did line up was as good as having the 4th align right along with them. You can draw lines on a topo map from 4 peaks to Weavers Needle, Miners Needle and any other landmark you choose.
My thought on it is that he wasnt talking about the 4 peaks we all know but a different mntn. Just my take.
The saddle no longer had an Indian ruin of a circle of rocks, that I saw.... if it was correct saddle.
That clue reminds me of this shot from the intersection of #88 and First Water road.
Frog Peaks in the foreground....Four Peaks in the background.

Lots of places out there where Frog peaks line up as one...
Is there another saddle nearby.....perhaps along a route of travel/trail ?
dutch....even if ruth did interview herman...all he would have gotten is the same b.s. herman gave everyone else...and herman didn't know the location of the ldm..If Herman’s interview rules out Peters Mesa, makes me wonder about Ruth supposedly being found up there
If on his own accord, would have been for something other than LDM. I’m still not convinced he was moved at all.
But that is another thread ...
Edit; I will go ahead and ask .... does anyone know if Ruth had interviewed Herman?
