[BigBadDean]

A bunch of campers on a remote hill (see picture)

Send them here to North East Tennessee. We are overrun with coyotes this year.

Real, Amigo
Does that sound good or what,coyote stew, maybe mixed with a little road runner appetizer Hmmmmmmmmmmm.NP

 

[Real de Tayopa Tropical Tramp]

NP amigo, the road runers are bult almost exactly like the Chachalacas that my partner and I had for our dinners in the Yucatan while looking for Mayan ruins. not reccomended unless you are quite hungry. One would feed both of us when mixed with rice. I'm the one holding the Machete gathering Oysters.

 

[Not Peralta]

Real, Amigo
very nice picks,Im sure those memory's are preserved in your heart in a special place,we all have them.np

 

[Real de Tayopa Tropical Tramp]

Bet some thought that was the Stone Cabin I spoke of .

Take Highway , turn sideways

stop at road side attraction
eat Fry Bread

Add 2 oz. of Acetone to Gas Tank and fill Tank up with Gas

Watch for slim Hipped Lady

wave Hi to her
and drive North to Huge Rock Formation .

Call next of Kin and informed them you about about to enter The Vortex

Once inside Vortex , Paint a Still Life of a Pyramid in a Jungle

Return from Vortex as the Still Life Painting takes on Physical Form .

200 years from now , when the Pyramid is Found ,,,,,
People will wonder who built it and claim it was a Sun Worshiper Monument and charge Tourist admission
to enter and take pictures of it .

That Friends , is how it's done .

So G. Maven, there is still life in this subject. There are still silver deposits to be found in the Caballos.

 

[jbeene65]

hopefully this isnt to old a thread, but we were up there this summer, on the east side by the towers. saw an area just south-east of the towers that had a campsite juat like this

 

[whiskeyrat]

So, I was at that camp a few times last month.
I inquired of the locals as to what it was all about.
I got 2 very different stories.

1. Long ago, there was a shaft dug 150 foot deep somewhere around that camp. It accessed a lava tube that went all the way past Victorio peak. A model T Ford was lowered into the lava tube in pieces, reassembled and driven back and forth bringing back bags full of huge gold nuggets. Fast forward to recent. Some rich guy in Texas has offered a $10K reward for the recovery of that model T. Some guys found the shaft and are in the process of recovering the model T. The campers were flown to the site with helicopters. The final goal is not the recovery of the model T but access to the huge gold nugget field. Apparently the rich guy in Texas was the guy who did it long ago and he wants the model T back.

2. The camp is a government operation. Nobody knows what they are doing. But every now and then the government agents go up there and do what they do. Research or spying I guess.

Every time I was up there the camp was empty which kinda supports the government theory.
Surprisingly, I was told by both versions that if I approached the camp I would be met with armed men and told to leave. I guess either government black ops types or bad ass model T searchers. I never met either.
Kinda disappointed as I would have been interested in helping recover and old model T.

So take both stories for what they are worth, Im just saying what I was told. If I ever actually find anyone around the camp, maybe I will find out the truth, maybe not. Might just get run off. Might get to help bring up an old model T.

Interesting WR, interesting. I knowof a mint model t in the Seri country. How they go it up there only they know, but it would need a helicopter to bring it out.

Yeah, ha ha - "for what they're worth." At least they're fun. Want more fun? Read the William White book on the Caballos - you can get a copy at a few places in town, like at the museum gift shop. You'll read all about the secret military base within the mountains.

I had heard TorC was a Meth haven

That is a group of people who were doing some treasure prospecting in that area a few years back, its not meth dealers. That was their base camp. I don't know if anyone recalls, a guy posted about his brother's company that was up there and they found a camera watching a cave entrance, just to the north from there about 2/3rds of a mile away.

 

[whiskeyrat]

UM:
so what was in the cave?

 

[BIGSCOTT]

I remember that but cant recall the name of that thread, the brothers were at odds, there was a picture supossedly from that cave that had a pole notched ladder
like the indians used to make, and looked alot like pictures of the ladder found in victorio peak, lots of that stuff was disputed and alot of the forum members
were getting kind of foul and attacking one another, so the mod's deleted lots of the post's.

 

[gollum]

I don't remember the name of the thread, but I remember that too. The pictures were basically modern recreations of old pics Doc had taken (to show that Doc had been in this cave).
