prospective

[cactusjumper]

bb,

Let's see if I have this right. You spend years getting ready for this grand show and tell, then you get in a......questionable motor home with a sick elderly woman who in not a relative, just a friend, and set out for a cross country trip with a primitive camp site in the Arizona desert for a final destination.

This camp site will be out of range for most phone services, and miles from medical help for your sick, elderly friend, should she need it. To be perfectly honest, none of that surprises me, considering your history here.

All is not lost, and you don't have to fail. Email the location of your mine(s) to Dust Cap, some one who has always been kind and straight with you. I believe he has offered you help a number of times and, I think, even offered to accompany you on your hike into the site.

Ken is someone who has been to many Rendezvous' and is as trustworthy as they come. He is a true gentleman, as others here will testify. The idea that you might try to continue posting here, promising to prove your theories at some distant date in the future will, I expect, not fly.

Sorry to hear you will not be able to make this year's event.

Good luck,

Joe

AND ON THAT NOTE.....if anyone would like the next super lotto numbers I would be happy to see into the future 'again' and distribute those out? Who's your shaman now......say it.....say it!

Tim,

By that qualification, we are all Shaman's.......other than that super loto thingie.

Paul,

bb has to think about Helen first. He can't just leave her all alone. What arrrre you thinking?

Life sure has a way of getting in the way of our hobbies.

Take care,

Joe

I suppose you're right, but one would think there would be SOMEONE who would watch her for the 2-3 days it would take to attend the Rendezvous and prove you wrong

if you knew for a fact you had found the real LDM . would you risk everything to get there and prove it was ?

dont lie ...to your self or me ...

 

[mrs.oroblanco]

BB,

Good question.

But - what I personally would have done is find a good trusted person to watch your friend while I was gone, and then go. (which, by the way is how I got to Arizona when my father was sick - I got someone to take care of him while we were gone).

I would have never even considered dragging him halfway across the country, sitting him in a camper in the desert, and expecting ANYONE else to take care of him (by the way, I apologize for saying this, but - you actually had hit a nerve when you said that a couple of the "women" would have to take care of her while you were hiking-and I resented you saying that.)

Get someone to take care of her, fly to Phoenix, rent a vehicle and come to Don's Camp. Simple - right?

Blindbowman sorry to hear about your friend's health, drive safe and better luck next year. Alternatively as has been suggested, it would be less expensive to simply fly to Phoenix and rent a car for a few days then fly home than it would have cost to take the motor home out and back. Just a thought.

Fly out, I'll pick you up at the airport, lend you a tent and sleeping bag. I'll even feed you. All you need is your ticket. I have extra of everything. I'm happy to share with you.

 

[cactusjumper]

Paul,

It's kinda obvious isn't it? Like a bull rider looking for a soft place to land. You just know he's gonna get throwed. Blind man could have seen this coming.

bb had two professionals in camp who could have looked after the lady. We been doing that for almost 20 years now. Steve just made him a great offer. All he has to do is bring in a Kelly Girl for a few days, and it will still be cheaper than driving out here in the motorhome.

bb,

Knowing it......like you know it, the answer is no. I was positive that I had the Stone Maps laid out right for over 40 years. Trouble is, like you, I didn't really know what was at the end of that trail.
I would not risk everything to find out.

You are not sure what you will find at the end of your trail. That has become more and more obvious with every post lately. I have risked all I was willing to lose, and it's always been what I could afford.
After all the trash talk over the years here, if you don't make it to the Rendezvous, I don't know who would be willing to continue any kind of a conversation with you in the future.

You will just fade out of the picture like Santa Fe New Mexican and a hundred others. I believe you have shown us everything you have.......nothing left to see or hear.

Prove me wrong.

i can wait and i dont really care if you talk to me the truth has no time lemits ...

and i did say if you knew for fact you had the real LDM ...

 

[mrs.oroblanco]

A pacifist man?

Ah, first of all, who are you calling a pacifist? You, who were supposedly in the Navy? - Are our armed services unarmed now? Tough to fight wars unarmed. Or sgtfda, who certainly isn't a pacifist. Secondly, if you're afraid of a man with a gun, why would you have subjected Helen to unknown people at the rendezvous - many of whom carry a gun - me included.

And, thirdly, that was a little rude after such a generous offer, don't you think? I'll buy you the steak for Saturday night's dinner.

Beth

 

[sgtfda]

BB what is a passivefest? My offer stands. I have every type equipment you would require. I carry a gun 24-7. Tool of the trade. I fell in my pool last week with a gun in my pocket. My wife had a good laugh. If you feel you can't trust me ask yourself why should you be trusted. I was looking forward to your talk and the look on everyone's face. I plan on going fri morning and leaving late sat night. I need to know if you want to accept my offer. I would need to dig out the extra equipment.

 

[mrs.oroblanco]

sgtfda -

Glad you didn't shoot your butt off!!!!

But, still better than shooting your mouth off


Beth

 

[sgtfda]

Beth the gun was in my front pocket so my butt was in no danger. I know what your thinking so don't say it. Looking forward to meeting you and yours.

 

[mrs.oroblanco]

ooooooooooh

See ya at the rendezvous!!

Beth

 

[sgtfda]

Beth I see you are a night owl also

 

[mrs.oroblanco]

sgtfda,

I was going to say the same about you. I'm sewing and washing clothes for the trip, and keeping tabs on Tnet during breaks.

Though, its 6:20 am here, now, I think I need about 4 hours sleep now.

I never have been able to sleep too early, anyway.

Have a good one.

Beth
