There is no treasure here
The Mule is the main form of transportation
This tells me that we need to continue to move on
This time in the direction of the Mule’s Head

Also notice that the Mule is not carrying a full load
And the Mule’s Pack is on his side more like an empty saddle bag
We are now heading in ward – to what?

So as we change direction and continue to follow the trail
We come up on the same Rock Boulder Death trap
But there is something different this time, we are coming in from
A different direction, giving us a new perspective of the Rock formation

This is how the Code Maker can give us two different trails
Going to the same location
And also, this is why Vista Points are very important

Here we have a Face Marker a Small Shadow Heart Marker and a Gateway

The Shadow Heart points to the Hoyo Trail Marker down below near the ground

The Gateway show us the direction of the important Marker that’s coming up
This will be our Omega Marker
The Gateway comes in all sizes, and are very useful Markers showing direction

The Profile Face is looking in the same direction as the Gateway
This gives our direction conformation

As I look around this area I see that we have a Hoyo and this one is also located Low to the ground
like the first one at the Pack Mule Marker

But I also noticed something else hidden
Down low to the ground, is a Heart Marker and it is also pointing to the Hoyo
Giving us the right direction to travel

So now that we have become orientated, we can proceed to the next Markers

Lovely, what a feeling of accomplishment and excitement you must have had in following these trails :) At times I just find myself smiling at some of the things done,or at my own pitiful efforts in the field.

Quite educational and so appreciate your time and effort in posting.

Hi everyone
I would like to thank you all for your kind words
My favorite thing is being out in the field
But I do love to share my stories and theories with everyone
Thank you again for your support -
That's what keeps me coming back

Along the Royal Trail with Lost Horse

The Omega Trail

Hi and Welcome,

If you have been following along, it’s going to get a little bit more interesting
Only because there is a lot going on in this mining area
And I have a lot to show, so I will keep it simple, and show only what is relative
To our journey - and I hope it will all make sense

So I created a Map
I thought it would be fun to follow a Map – It would be best if you print it out
So you can follow along and get a better visual idea of this journey
The Map also gives away, those areas of interest
The areas we are going to be checking out
So this will give you a better idea where we are going
And how we are going to get there

So I am going to break it down into two sections
The Gateway
The Hoyo Trail

In this chapter, I am going to focus on the Gateway Marker
Only because if you’re new to this, you mite think there are again two trials
This Gateway is showing a (Survey Line of Sight) to the Omega Marker
So this Gateway Marker is not really a trail, but a line of sight showing us the direction
To our destination – The Omega
And the Hoyo Trail, is our way in

Take note:
I am no expert
And my perspective and Interpretations are only my view of things
The way I see, and experience the Journey
And so, if you would like, come and let me entertain you :read2: :coffee2:
With “Journey along the Royal Trail”

Journey along the Royal Trail


The Omega Trail Continued

The Gateway Marker
If you look at the Map, we will start at the Gateway Marker
Pay attention to the engineering and design of all Markers Shown
But remember this - you will always be at the mercy of the Spanish Artist

The Gateway Marker is a very useful Marker that shows Direction
It comes in many Shapes and Sizes, used from Small Trails to Large Range Markers

This Gateway Marker is showing us the direction to the Omega Marker
Even though you can’t see the Omega Marker, Hidden behind the Ridge Line
If you create a straight survey line it will take you from
The Gateway to the Top of the far Ridge where there is a small Survey Marker
And from there a straight survey line to the Omega Marker

You could walk it, if you wanted to, going down these steep canyons
And back up to the top then down to the other side
The best part is, that I will do it for you
And I will stop at the Small Marker On the top of the far Ridge
So you can see from up there what it looks like from that perspective

From the Gateway to this small Survey Marker on top of this Ridge
Was one heck of a hike to get to this point!
Just so I could photograph and document this little Triangle Marker
This little Triangle Marker in my mind, confirms that this was a Survey Line


This Survey Marker area is also a Vista Point

Now being on top of the far Ridge where the Survey Marker was located
You now have the advantage of looking down on either side
The Gateway to the Left and the Omega to the Right

If you look at the photo you can see to the Left of the Small Triangle Marker
There is a White Heart Shape Stone = what’s does your heart desire?
In our case, Direction

Check out this perspective
Now if we look down the Left Side of the Ridge, you can see down below
The Death Trap Boulder and Gateway Marker
