TWO SIGNS LEFT TO I.D. MINE, AS SPANISH, FRENCH, OR JESUIT.

[PROSPECTORMIKEL]

THANK YOU CROSSE.
I ALSO HOPE FOR WISDOM, CONCERNING THE MINE.

ABOUT THE OUTLAWS... MY LATE PARTNER AND I HUNTED SOME PROPERTY THAT BELONGED TO AN OLDER MAN, THAT TOLD US THAT HIS GRANDFATHER WAS A FRIEND OF JESSE JAMES, AND THAT HE STAYED IN AN OLD SHACK OF A HOUSE THAT STILL STANDS BEHIND HIS HOUSE, ON LAND THAT WAS HOMESTEADED BY HIS FAMILY. I WANTED TO HUNT THE HOUSE, BUT IT WAS IN A VERY DANGEROUS STATE.
WE DID HUNT THE MOUNTAIN TOP OF THEIR LAND, AND HE TOLD US THAT JESSE SPENT A FEW NIGHTS UP THERE WHEN HE WAS BEING FOLLOWED. MAYBE I MIGHT GO THERE AGAIN AND GET HIS SON'S PERMISSION, AS HE IS THE OWNER NOW.

THERE IS ALSO A SMALL TOWN BETWEEN MY HOME AND BRANSON, THE NAME OF THE COMMUNITY IS "YOCUM"...

Hi PROSPECTORMIKEL,

That ol' shack, and around the hilltop, etc.,
sounds potentially interesting, and I hope
you get to go, and look it all over real good...

Take care, and best of luck Amigo, Crosse...

[PROSPECTORMIKEL]

WHAT I AM ABOUT TO POST, IS A COPY OF A POST THAT I MADE ON APRIL, 21. IT WAS A STRAIN FOR ME TO POST IT. I WAS ON DON JOSE'S THREAD BECAUSE THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE THERE THAT HAVE ACTIVELY FOLLOWED THE STORY THAT I STARTED HERE.

I KNOW THAT THERE MANY "VIEWS" HERE, EVERY WEEK. I ASSUME THAT SOME ARE ACTIVELY FOLLOWING HERE THAT DESERVE TO KNOW WHAT HAS TRANSPIRED CONCERNING THE MINE.

HERE IS THE POST:

OKAY, THIS ONE IS GONNA BE TUFF FOR ME.
MOST OF YOU ARE UP TO DATE WITH MY SITE AND IT'S RECORD OF OFFENSES.

JESSIE WAS BEAT TO A PULP A FEW MONTHS AGO, AMONG OTHER THINGS.
WE CALLED OFF FURTHER TRIPS. HE AND HIS MOM BOTH TOLD ME THAT THEY BELIEVED THAT IT WAS SAFE, AND JESSIE SAID HE WANTED TO GO BACK TO FINISH THE RESEARCH. I WAS TEMPTED TO JUST SAY YES, BUT I HELD MY RESPONSE TO A LIMITED STATEMENT. DEBBIE HAD TO AGREE.

I LET THE DUST SETTLE FOR A FEW MORE WEEKS, IT DIDN'T GO LIKE I HAD HOPED. SHE EXPLODED, NO FUSE, JUST EXPLODED. "HELL NO!!!!" IT WENT DOWN HILL FROM THERE. SHE DID NOT TALK TO ME FOR DAYS....... LIFE HAS SLOWLY GOTTEN BACK TO NEAR NORMAL.

JESSIE STILL ASKS WHEN ARE WE GOING BACK.

YESTERDAY HE MADE PLANS TO HAVE A GET TOGETHER WITH TWO OF HIS BEST FRIENDS FROM SCHOOL. THEY PLANNED A BAR B Q, FOR SATURDAY.

JUST AFTER NOON TODAY HE CAME BY AND SAID HE NEEDED TO TALK. I WENT OUTSIDE WITH HIM. HE WAS ON THE NO FLY LIST WITH DEBBIE. HE WAS UPSET. I GRABBED TWO CHAIRS, SO WE COULD SIT. THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT AT A PLANT NEAR TOWN. ONE OF HIS BUDDIES WAS LOADING A KILN WITH A FRONT END LOADER WITH BUNDLES OF SLAB-WOOD. HE SAW A SET OF BOOTS UNDER THE BUNDLE. HE STOPPED AND RAN AROUND THE FRONT OF THE BUNDLE ONLY TO FIND THAT HE HAD CRUSHED HIS BUDDY (NUMBER THREE). IT WAS FATAL. ALL THREE OF THESE GUYS GREW UP WITHIN A DOZEN MILES OF EACH OTHER.

BEFORE I KNEW ALL OF THE DETAILS, I GRABBED HIS HANDS AND STARTED TO PRAY FOR MY FRIEND AND HIS FRIEND.
DEBBIE LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW AND THOUGHT I WAS PUSHING HIM. MOST OF THE DETAILS HAVE FADED INTO THE RINGING IN MY HEAD.

THOUGHTS OF "HOW DO I STOP THIS?!!?" KEEP ME FROM THINKING ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE.
WHEN WILL IT STOP?

I HAD TO VENT, BUT NOT AT HOME. THAT WILL NOT WORK OUT WELL. I'M THANKFUL FOR MY FRIENDS ON TREASURE NET.

YOU FOLKS CAN UNDERSTAND THIS BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE THAT I KNOW. MAYBE I WILL SLEEP TONIGHT. I HOPE THAT JESSIE CAN. I HEARD HIM PLAYING HIS GUITAR ABOUT AN HOUR AGO. IT WAS A NEW LEVEL OF BLUES.

I'M OUT OF STEAM. IF I HAVEN'T MADE SENSE HERE TONIGHT I WILL TRY TO CLEAR IT UP TOMORROW.

MIKEL

THE NEXT POST THAT I MAKE WILL BE FROM A LATER DATE, WITH A NOTE THAT WILL DIRECT TO READ THIS FIRST.
I HOPE THAT THIS DOESN'T CAUSE TOO MUCH CONFUSION.

THANK YOU
MIKEL

 

[PROSPECTORMIKEL]

I AM TRANSFERRING POSTS FROM DON JOSE'S THREAD. DROP DOWN TO THE PREVIOUS POST AND READ IT FIRST, THEN COME BACK AND READ THIS ONE TO AVOID CONFUSION.

THIS COPY IS FROM APRIL, 25. THE OTHER ONE IS FROM APRIL, 21.

HERE IS THE COPY:

I HAVEN'T POSTED ANY OF THIS ON MY THREAD YET. I HAVE TOO MANY READERS THAT NEVER POST, AND MOST OF THE ONES THAT POST ON MY THREAD, POST HERE AS WELL.

I PROBABLY SHOULD GET THEM CAUGHT UP. THEY ARE REGULAR READERS AND I GUESS THAT THEY DESERVE THE WHOLE STORY.

TODAY WAS THE FUNERAL. JESSIE WAS NOT THERE. AS I UNDERSTOOD HIS MOTHER, EARLIER TODAY, SHE SAID THAT JESSIE WOKE HER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, NIGHT BEFORE LAST, WITH BLOOD RUNNING DOWN HIS ARMS, HE HAD SLIT HIS WRISTS. HE IS IN LOCK-DOWN IN A MENTAL INSTITUTION AT THE PRESENT.

AT THIS POINT, THE MOUNTAIN HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT OF THE LOOP. THERE ARE NO PLANS TO RETURN. I WILL NOT TAKE ANYONE ELSE UP THERE. AND THE BOOK WILL WAIT UNTIL I AM READY TO FINISH IT.

IT RESTS ON ME, ALONE. I WILL FINISH IT OR DIE TRYING.

JESSIE NEEDS TO HEAL, AND THAT IS HIS ONLY JOB.

GOD BLESS.

MIKEL


I WAS THOUGHTLESS TO NOT DO THIS SOONER, EVEN FOR THE "READERS". JUST BECAUSE YOU DO NOT POST, IS NOT VALID REASON TO LEAVE YOU OUT. FOR THIS I AM SORRY.

[DiggerGal]

Mikel,
I am so sorry and troubled to hear of what has happened. Please breath easy and try to remain strong.
There is no treasure worth more than those who you love and stand beside.
Write your book, your journey and your determinations along the way, leave the last chapter out and make it a mystery for others to solve...you my friend have the greatest treasure of all. Love and Family.

 

[PROSPECTORMIKEL]

I JUST FOUND OUT THAT JESSIE'S GRANDMOTHER IS TO PICK HIM UP THIS AFTERNOON. IF SHE TAKES HIM HOME WITH HER, IT MAY BE A FEW DAYS BEFORE I SEE HIM.

I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING HIM, AND SHARING WITH HIM, ALL OF THE THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS THAT HAVE BEEN OFFERED ON HIS AND MY BEHALF.

I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT IN REGARDS TO PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO HIS ARMS. I DO EXPECT TO SEE A BROKEN HEART THAT NEEDS MENDING.

THE ENERGY FROM ALL OF YOU WILL GO TO HIM.

THANK YOU, ALL VERY MUCH.

MIKEL

Mikel,

I do not know Jessie, but he is lucky to have you for a friend.
Here's hoping that Jessie will find comfort from your visit and start the healing process, with both his heart and his mind.
-Mike

 

[PROSPECTORMIKEL]

I GOT TO SEE JESSIE FOR A FEW MINUTES AS HE CAME HOME. I TOLD HIM OF THE MANY KIND WORDS AND PRAYERS ON HIS BEHALF.
HE WAS VERY GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF THEM.

THE SPECIALIST THAT HE SAW (WHILE IN LOCK UP) HELD HIM FOR AN EXTRA 72 HOURS. HE SHOWED JESSIE HIS CHART AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD CAUSED THE BREAK-DOWN. HE CALLED IT A "SUICIDE COCKTAIL", THE OTHER DOCTORS THAT HAD SEEN HIM PUT HIM ON DIFFERENT MEDS WITHOUT GETTING A PROPER HISTORY ON HIM. EACH ONE CAUSED DIFFERENT SIDE EFFECTS, AND ALL OF THEM TOGETHER WERE NEVER TO BE USED AT THE SAME TIME.

JESSIE SAID THAT HE SAT DOWN WITH HIM AND EXPLAINED IN DETAIL WHAT HAD CAUSED EACH SIDE EFFECT SO JESSIE COULD UNDERSTAND. HE LOOKS HAPPIER AND HEALTHIER THAN HE HAS BEEN IN MONTHS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT. I HOPE TO SEE HIM OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS FOR A LONGER VISIT.

[releventchair]

Mikel: You two ever go fishing?

A med. chart helps avoid confusion of when to take a pill or more importantly if one was already taken.
Bunch of squares. Med name above a column and time to take written with it. Date on side of page. One row per day.
Any chart that Jesse can use. Maybe one he makes him self to understand it best.
This picture is another example. Only that, an example.(hard for me to see, harder for you, but an idea.)

I always wanted to do more freshwater fishing in CA., say Bishop,
The Sierras, Mid-State and Northern, Lakes and Rivers, etc. ...

Good Luck!

 

[PROSPECTORMIKEL]

RELEVENT CHAIR, THANKS FOR THE CHART INFO.

JESSIE'S PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY DOCTORS PASSING HIM OFF WITH A PRESCRIPTION AND WITHOUT CHECKING THE HISTORY OF HIS MEDS. HE WAS FOLLOWING THREE DIFFERENT DOCTOR'S ORDERS. IF HE WOULD HAVE HAD A CHART LIKE THE ONE THAT YOU POSTED, IT WOULD HAVE MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN HIS CARE.

THE DOCTORS THAT PASSED HIM OFF, WOULD HAVE SEEN EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS TAKING AND HOW MUCH, AND WHEN.

I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HAVING TOO MANY SPECIALISTS TRYING TO TREAT DIFFERENT PROBLEMS. I FINELY MANAGED TO GET MY PRIMARY PHYSICIAN TO TAKE CONTROL OF ALL OF MY PRESCRIPTIONS. HE HAS BEEN HANDLING ALL OF THEM FOR JUST UNDER A YEAR. A FEW MONTHS AGO HE LEFT THE CLINIC, AND I AM NEEDING FIND A NEW PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR.

NOTHING IS FOOLPROOF, BUT THAT CHART WILL HELP A LOT.

SO, I WILL GET WITH HIM AND EXPLAIN HOW HELPFUL THE CHART WILL BE. I WILL ALSO START USING ONE FOR MYSELF.
THANK YOU.

NOW ABOUT THE FISHING.... WE HAVE HAD PLANS TO GO FISHING, SINCE LAST WINTER. I'M GOING TO TEACH HIM HOW TO FLY-FISH. THE CREEK WATER IS STILL A LITTLE COOL. I SHOULD GET STARTED TYING FLIES. I TIE THREE DIFFERENT FLIES, THAT WORK VERY WELL IN THIS AREA. ON A GOOD DAY I WILL WEAR OUT EIGHT TO TEN FLIES AND SNAG TWO OR THREE IN A TREE LIMB BEHIND ME.

I SHOULD BE ABLE TO TEACH HIM EVERYTHING THAT I KNOW IN ABOUT FIVE MINUTES. IF IT TAKES, HE WILL FIGURE THE REST OUT OVER THE REST OF HIS LIFE.

I GAVE AWAY ALL OF MY OLD TACKLE AND STARTED FLY-FISHING, ONLY, ABOUT TWENTY YEARS AGO. I DON'T FIGURE I'LL GO BACK NOW.

HERE'S HOPING FOR GOOD FIHSIN' TRIPS FOR ALL OF US.

THANKS.
MIKEL

GONE FISHIN'

I TOOK THE 'GO FISHING' IDEA TO THE TEST TODAY.

I WENT THRU MY FLY ROD AND FLIES, THEN PUT ONE OF MY EXTRA SET-UPS THRU THE CLEAN UP AND TEST ROUTINE.

I WAS JUST FINISHING UP, WHEN JESSIE WALKED AROUND THE CORNER. HE ASKED WHAT I WAS DOING. I TOLD HIM I WAS SETTING UP TO TAKE HIM FLY FISHING. HE WAS READY TO LEARN AND GO.

I GAVE HIM A SHORT LESSON ON CASTING ON THE LAWN. FIVE MINUTES LATER WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO THE FISHIN' HOLE.

I CAUGHT THE FIRST FISH AND JESSIE CAUGHT THE REST.
END RESULT... HE IS HOOKED. HE HAD A GREAT TIME AND CAN'T WAIT TO GO AGAIN.

WALKING THE CREEK BANK PROVED TO BE MY DOWNFALL. WHEN I GOT HOME, I TOOK A PAIN MED, AND A FOUR HOUR NAP.

MISSION SUCCESS.

MIKEL

[DiggerGal]

Fishing is great therapy for me and proves to be tranquil. It's a very grounding opportunity to balance our minds and thoughts. Water is calming, catching fish can be challenging and rhythm in the cast is an alignment of our breathing. Great job in both of you taking the time to build balance and decompress! More of Mother Nature's Healing is coming your way. Blessings to you both and Great times spent together in the future!!!

The Sierras are terrific if you can walk a little way into the back country. Sometimes it gets pretty crowed anywhere you can drive to. I prefer later in the year, after the big opening day and summer season rush for the Sierras. I'm headed out for some salt water fish this week, I usually fish the salt in the spring and summer....
