Holmes "Missing" directions

[pkdmslf]

Google blowed it up. It's all a secret though......

Seriously, this is a good example as to why you should NOT rely on what you see on GE if you are looking for a lost mine.

This is a crop from one of the panoramio photos on GE, taken by someone who WAS really there.

It's kinda blurry......cause I blowed it up this time

I don't put a lot of faith in GE. I was trying to match up GE with the old photo of Weaver's Needle and noticed the short spire on the left side is missing in the GE rendition. All details do not show up in GE and one should not put all their trust in the images.

Looks like the short spire on the left is gone now. When was the original photo taken? Did Ed Piper or Celeste Jones blow it off?

pkdmslf,

I took that picture from a helicopter around 2000. One thing to keep in mind when you are trying to match the Waltz drawing, is that he likely drew it many years since he made his last trip into the mountains, and he was probably quite sick when he drew it..........all from a visual (distant) memory.





Good luck,

Joe Ribaudo

That is one very nice photograph. One of my favorites.

Thanks for posting it!

I believe Holmes had not enough clues to be able to find the LDM . The most accurate clues had Julia Thomas but was not skilled and not capable to find it .
Look at these pictures and to their similarities . The first is from the LDM site , the second is a fragment from the " Minas del oro " map reversed and the third is a fragment from the Julia's map revised .

I was wrong about the waltz doodle being one mountain. Im unsure if its a real ldm clue anymore. This morning my wife was watching yet another daniel boone rerun.
I looked up and there was the doodle plain as day. Or a area that looks alot like it. Boone was walking in a canyon and the canyon walls made the foreground with the peak in the background. I could believe what I was looking at. Now I know some of the DB shows were filmed in Az,and some in California. So I have no idea where they were at when filming the show. So I'm going to try and post the scene or maybe find it on line. Then post the link. It could be a coincidence ,but it looked more like the doodle than any pic I have seen on line. On another episode they were filming outside of a cave in az. Above the caves entrance was a heart. Big as life. I told my wife I wouldn't be surprised if they found areas that looked like ldm clues to create a interest. Then again they might not have noticed. Anyway. Does anyone on here know if any of the old tv shows were filmed nears weavers needle or one of the other peaks. I try to find a link and post it soon. I really want the opinion of those more knowledgeable about ldm clues than me.


Edited. Ok its daniel boone season 3 eposode 4. Grizzly. One you tube its marked as pt 1.
After reawatching on you tube Im not as sure as earlier,but either the vid is blurry or it my eyes. Lol. The show was much clearer on the tv than my phone. You could see the details better.
Anyway if you guys would take a look and let me know what you think. I would appreciate it.

One proverb says : " Many donkeys look the same " . The Waltz drawing is another Perfil map .

True true. I like watching old shows I know were filmed in the mtns. Looking past the actors at the background. Being able to get a glimpse of what things looked like before the wilderness act took affect.
