Is Ryan going to be there?
Looking forward to seeing you there Joe. Wish you were feeling better I'd take you over to see what's left of the shack Travis lived in while searching his map area.

ouch......................gold fever strikes again!
I liked watching the drone!!
Joe,
Consider the source. I wouldn't get too raked up in a pile about the opinion of someone who has to ask for coordinates to the Pit mine and the Bat Cave. What's the old saying?.......couldn't find his backside with both hands. LOL. Makes one wonder if he needs GPS to find his way home. Lost treasure hunter Really
Bill,
As I have mentioned, many times before, I was never searching for the LDM on my own. On the other hand, I have researched the legend and assisted others in their searches. Over the years, while you have quipped and insulted your way through these conversations, I have tried to add posts of substance to the debate. My own contributions to the "facts" surrounding the legend are all still available on the various sites, as are yours. I am more than satisfied with what I have added to the overall conversation.
The Dutch Hunter's Rendezvous was started in order to create a place for those interested in the legend to meet and exchange whatever information they felt they could pass along. It created an event where the old timers, who have been at this longer than you and I have been alive, could rekindle old friendships and make new ones. You started out trying to belittle the event and insulting all who had a positive attitude about it. Despite your negative comments, the Rendezvous has flourished and grown into a successful event.
You stated you would come to the first Rendezvous and do me some damage. Although you did show up, you would not come into our camp but parked your truck outside the camp and glared at us with your arms crossed. Had you stepped into camp, you would have been welcomed, just as everyone else has over the year's. Carolyn and I have spent thousands of dollars and countless hours of labor preparing food and serving the 100+ attendees that have shown up, most years, over the first ten years of the Rendezvous.
I, along with other team members, have found the true facts and exposed many of the fictional accounts that have been accepted "truth" concerning the LDM legend over he years. That alone has saved new Dutch Hunters countless hours of research chasing the many fictitious stories about the LDM. We passed this information along, without cost, to all who requested it.
While I understand why these things have found no respect in your mind, I will have no problem with the small legacy I will leave behind. What, exactly, will you leave?
Good luck,
Joe Ribaudo

Actually, I didn't want to hash over old posts to look it up. Unlike a lot of you I don't keep files on my computer for the LDM as I think it's a fantasy of Jacob's.
I'm probably one of a handful of people on here that can find a longitude, Latitude, on a map without a GPS. When I started looking I was so poor I couldn't afford a GPS.
Most people get lost using one, I've seen it. I don't think anyone will need to get one for finding the Rendezvous there's been enough maps posted on here.
Let me ask you this:
Show us one Spanish Explorer that used a GPS to secret their Treasure, just one?
Silence?
Actually they used the stars.
AU, we used the extended finger method, every width of a finger represented about a 1/2 hr of daylight left, we generally set up camp with 3 finger width, depending upon the time of the year., and of course, the latitude. Yer pretty damn smart guy.
That mountain/s is goverment land or private?
