ALLO If you want to look for a lost city, rather a large hacienda which in the old days was a walled fort effectively.

Go to Mazatlan, where on certain occasions the above has been seen out to sea, the west, it is obviously a mirage. Turn back East and somewhere back in there, probably Durango, it is waiting for you.

But may I remind you that this area covers one of the largest unexplored sections in north America with huge barrancas covered with thick jungle in many areas..This is the realm of a few still wild people, also outlaws, and now the Narcos.

However this is also the hidden home of Oro's favorite lost mine, El Naranjal. Naranjal was in bonanza in the 1800's, that is not too long ago. One of the periodic revolutions that sweeps Mexico also swept it up and it's location was soon forgotten

Today it sits there abandoned, it's buildings slowly crumbling and it's piles of extremely rich gold ore being covered by jungle growth..The fabulously rich mine nearby is slowly collapsing and filling with water, waiting for someone like you, or Oro, to bring it back to it's former happy life..

Hola amigo, just found this thread. Not keeping up on things, it seems.

roy, this is your baby, no?

It is extremely fascinating to me, but have never been there to look for it. Still hope to, as hope springs eternal, but the prospects do not look too promising for such a trip. I would love to read more, if you care to share. Thank you in advance,
