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

Wishing you and yours all the joys of the holiday season, Merry Christmas. Good luck on making your determination. The Spanish often hid symbols in plain sight visible from the mouth of the adit or shaft, and since they used slave labor they often constructed an approach to the entrance that would funnel the movement of the slaves, whereas it is not the case with the French and usually not so with Jesuits, but Jesuits also reworked Spanish diggings.

THANKS GOONER,
I'M LOOKIN' FORWARD TO THE RETURN TRIP IN SPITE OF THE PAIN THAT IT WILL CAUSE,
BUT I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH THAT I CAN'T LET GO WITHOUT GIVING IT MY BEST SHOT.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND ALL OF MY USUAL READERS.
GOD BLESS.

I am thinking a number of trips will be required before you will be comfortable, because next trip or two you'll find more symbols and have more puzzles. Also the time of day could be integral in revealing certain sun/shadow symbols.PROSPECTORMIKEL said:THANKS GOONER,

GOONER, YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT "A NUMBER OF TRIPS" UP THERE. THEY ARE NUMBERED
ALREADY... BEFORE MY HEAT STROKE AND SUBSEQUENT BRAIN CYST, I HAD MADE OVER
100 TRIPS UP AND DOWN THAT MOUNTAIN. SINCE THE HEAT STROKE, I HAVE MADE ONE
TRIP AND FAILED TO MAKE IT TO THE TOP, AND COULD NOT GET OUT OF BED FOR 3 DAYS
AFTER THAT ATTEMPT.
I AM FORTUNATE THAT I FOUND A FRIEND WHO IS MORE INTERESTED IN HISORY THAN
TREASURE. HE TOOK ME ON THE LAST TRIP AND WILL BE TAKING ME ON THIS NEXT TRIP
AND IS TAKING HIS CHAINSAW IN HOPES OF UNCOVERING THE BLUFF CARVINGS.
I BELIEVE THAT GOD, IN HIS COMPASSION, BROUGHT SAM INTO MY LIFE FOR THIS REASON
AND MANY MORE. I HAD NO HOPE OF MAKING THE TRIP ALONE. HIS INTEREST IS THE SAME AS MINE... TO STUDY THE AREA AND DISCOVER THE HISTORY OF THE MINE AND TO FIGURE OUT IF
IT WILL BE WORTH THE COST OF OPENING IT UP. IT WILL BE VERY COSTLY TO OPEN UNLESS
WE FIND A BACK ENTERANCE.
I MADE A BELIEVER, THAT HE UNDERSTANDS THE UNDERTAKING AND HAZARDS OF THE SITE,
AFTER OUR LAST TRIP. HIS YOUNG SON WENT WITH US LAST TIME AND SAM SAYS THAT HE
TALKS ABOUT THE TRIP AND ALL OF THE BEAR SIGNS. IT IS A BIG ONE, IT STRIPS BARK FROM TREES AND POWERLINE POLES ABOUT EIGHT FEET HIGH. SAM DIDN'T THINK HE NEEDED HIS GUN ON THE LAST TRIP, BUT HE ASSURES ME THAT HE WILL HAVE IT WITH HIM THIS TIME.
I TOLD HIM TO SAVE THE LAST BULLET FOR ME IF I RUN OUT IF SHE COMES AT ME AND I RUN OUT. HE PROMISED TO SAVE TWO..... I KNOW THAT I WILL NOT RUN, I HAVE TO STAND MY GROUND OR DIE TRYING.
AND STILL, I LOOK FORWARD TO THE TRIP.
FOR NOW, HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS, AND GOD BLESS.

HEY GOONER,
I CAME ACROSS THIS PIC FROM MY LAST ATTEMPT AT THE BLUFF. THIS IS MY FRIEND SAM
AND HIS SON, AT THE POINT WE GAVE IN TO GRAVITY. IT JUST WORE ME OUT, TRYING
TO CRAWL THRU THE BRUSH AND DOWNED TREES.
WE ARE STILL PLANNING ON A FEBRUARY TRIP, BUT MY CALANDER IS FILLING UP FAST.
I HOPE THAT WE MAKE IT.

WELL, IT'S BEEN A MILD WINTER, SO FAR, AND WE HAVE HAD A FEW GOOD RAINS. THAT
MEANS PLENTY OF TICKS AND FLYING INSECTS IF WE DON'T GET A HARD FREEZE SOON.
SAM HAS INJURED HIS FOOT AND IS WORKING SATURDAYS TO CATCH UP, AND
SUNDAY BELONGS TO THE LORD, (AND RIGHTFULLY SO).
WE STILL PLAN ON GOING UP THE MOUNTAIN AS SOON AS WE CAN, BUT WE DON'T KNOW
WHEN THAT WILL BE.
I WILL HAVE THE NEW PHOTOS ON THE THREAD AS SOON AS I GET THEM.
IT'S JUST A SET-BACK.... NOT A DEAL BREAKER.
HAPPY HUNTING AND GOD BLESS.

Sundays belong to the Lord? I guess so do Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, Fridays at least until sunset. Then the Sabbath begins, until sunset Saturday evening, (the fourth commandment.) Get it straight, The riches of the heathen are laid up for the righteous.PROSPECTORMIKEL said:WELL, IT'S BEEN A MILD WINTER, SO FAR, AND WE HAVE HAD A FEW GOOD RAINS. THAT

I LIVE IN "HIS" WILL WITH EVERY HEARTBEAT. WE COME TOGETHER ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, TO SING AND PRAISE HIM, AS A CONGREGATION.
WHILE HERE I GATHER JEWELS FOR A CROWN, ABOVE, BY MY SERVICE TO MY KING.
ANY GOLD I FIND HERE WILL WORTHLESS WHEN I GO TO MY REAL HOME AS IT WILL BE FOR
PAVEMENT.
THIS IS A WORTHWHILE DISCUSSION BUT THIS IS NOT THE REASON FOR THIS FORUM.
THANKS FOR THE INTEREST, IT HELPS TO KNOW THAT OTHERS OF LIKE MIND HERE.
