Lost Adam's Diggings REINVIGORATION Brewing Inside Me

[Ironwill]

So I have gotten really technical now Before, I would just follow the stories on Google Maps or Google Earth and then just scan for features while drinking some brewskies. Now, I've quit drinking almost a month (don't cheer, its not hard lol), and on a 1500 calorie diet (thats hard ). It's given me time to focus more with my free time. So now I've gotten technical, as I stated before. I've taken the stories and all pertinent information I can and I've plotted overlapping zones. Then within those zones I've created "SEARCH GRIDS" 10 miles x 10 miles, using path plotting in Google Earth. I'll then search each grid systematically for features and possibilities, and if found I'll mark the spot as a P.O.I. Once I have finished with those zones, I'll shade them out using a polygon tool so I don't go looking there again. Once I've close/focus viewed all of New Mexico's primary Adams areas, I can take the shaded areas off and start weighing the P.O.I.'s for a rating system from 1-10 (1 being not worth looking but interesting to 10 being WOW definitely boots on ground spot).

I'm heading out west in 2 years, and should have enough capital to sustain me the rest of my life living out of my super 4 runner...Iron Clad. I'll then search all of those spots prospecting/mining all of them that's possible (legal areas and such due to reservations)

Anyway back to work on the map...got a lot of grid coordinates to gather together

Can anyone tell me what these are? I figured I might as well learn what I can about the desert before I get there lol

I figured some kind of irrigation channels or ruins?

Man! This is a lot more involved than I thought lol Covered about 20% of the Primary zone of 50 miles x 40 miles. And then that accounts of about 10% of all the area I want to check for "redundancy" in all of N.M. So if I did my math right, that means I'm about 2% done scouring New Mexico for possible L.A.D. s in 3 days lol that means in half a year (given breaks) I'll have it all checked and noted. ....

Did you read W.C. Jameson's recent book on the Lost Adams?

Did you find the 2 peaks that look like sugar loaves? Which is where the "Z" Shaped canyon lies at the base.

You wont find it on google earth looking down at everything. The satellite photos wont catch them either.
