One of the better Colorado treasure stories about Treasure Mountain, and maybe something to it. You can search up the whole story. I pass through that area on the way to Navajo Reservoir from time to time and wonder about it. I hadn't heard about these two guys and finding a stone tablet. I have read about a family who had found all but one of the signs directing them to the treasure, and had supposedly obtained treasure rights to the site from the state. Their story gets a little weird after that.
