Hello Wayne, will you share where you got the clue about a N-S line between four peaks and WN?I'll stick to that N-S line between Four Peaks and Weavers Needle for any looking I do make time for.
thanks in advance

That story was told in the book titled “The Killer Mountains”, I have tried to track down where Glen Magil or the writer Curt Gentry got the story but so far (a few years now) I have had no luck.

all they did was mention it...how can you not see it when your in the mountains..i guarantee neither of them spend time looking for the ldm around the needle
Thank you Matthew, I do not put any faith in the Holmes manuscript, the fact that this clue is not possible to view anywhere within the Superstitions is one of the many reasons that I doubt the validity of the Holmes manuscript.alan m,
On page 15 of the Brownie Holmes manuscript Brownie states Waltz told his father, ..... go through the saddle and on up a low ridge, and when you get on the highest point of the ridge you can look north and the Four Peaks are lined up to look as one peak. In the other direction you will see a high needle, (pointed rock). In the canyon under you is my hidden camp.
That is word for word from the original copy of the Holmes manuscript (1944).

Thank you Wayne, again, this is not possible, unless the “four peaks” are not THE Four Peaks.From the various sources of "clues".
You can see Weaver's Needle to the south and Four Peaks to the north where Four Peaks looks like one peak.
Go to First Water, then to Second Water, then take the old Government trail to San Carlos. Where the trail turns south, you will see over the point of the ridge, you can look north and the Four Peaks are lined up to look like one peak. In the other direction you will see a high needle-pointed rock. In the canyon under you is the hidden camp. You can't get down there because it is too steep, but go to the mouth of the canyon and then back. You can find the rock house with very little difficulty. You won't be able to see it until you are right upon it. After finding the camp, come back out of the canyon. Across the canyon and up it is a side canyon. Go up this side canyon to a cave. Opposite the cave is a tunnel and the mine.
20) One needs to climb up about 40 feet to see Weavers Needle to the south. (Waltz)
If I find any other examples, I'll add them to this post later.

Please understand that I am not trying to argue or be difficult, but I must ask, were the things you discovered related to the LDM?.alan m,
I fully understand your not believing the Holmes manuscript. Everyone must make that decision for themselves. I believe the part about 4 peaks looking as one because I have been on that ground and found things that fit with those directions. That is my findings and I don't expect anyone else to buy into what I've found or believe. We all have to do our reading and put boots on the ground to test out what we've read.
Best,
Matthew
you can see wn from the goldfield area but not at goldfield...you have to go a little north by doc rosencrans claim to see itPlease understand that I am not trying to argue or be difficult, but I must ask, were the things you discovered related to the LDM?.
as you probably know, there are some who believe that Waltz found his gold West of the Superstitions, more around Goldfield, this area is the only one where the Four Peaks can be viewed as one, but I am sure that WN cannot be seen from there.

The 5 miles radius is wrong. Actually the clue says " a circle 5 miles in diameter with the WN in the center ".
So the radius should be 2,5 miles.
Thank you Wayne, again, this is not possible, unless the “four peaks” are not THE Four Peaks.
I believe this to be fact about 4 Peaks. I do not have a pic, but have seen it.alan m,

There is a place along a ridge line where both can be seen, with FP to the north and WN to the south, but not with either in their entirety.
The four peaks did not also have individual names in those days, so Waltz couldn't have named what he could see as anything else.
Or even the mountain he was on at the time.
