Doc Noss, knowing that others would be after the Victorio Peak treasure, as well as himself, spent several months removing the gold from that mountain, and placing it in several locations all over that
desert.
There were witnesses(family & friends) that saw some of the gold bars, and even one friend accompanied Doc to one of the locations to pick up some gold bars.(in the middle of the desert a distance from Victorio)
Doc's death was the result of his discovery; that someone, family, friend or other, valued that treasure
more than their own soul, but probably lost both.
There was a code that Doc used to bury each of his caches, and if someone finds one cache, they
could be on the trail to the rest of the caches, which number about 27. One cache was reportedly
found in the late '60's, not too far from I-25, but even that location has disappeared in time.
It's strange how the facts of Victorio peak have changed over the years. But the further you go back in time, the more truth there is to any story. It's a fact, that each time a story is re-told the facts are
changed, sometimes so much, that it bears little resemblance to the original.
So now, most of what is heard or written is about Victorio Peak & Doc Noss is crap!
