Looks like I'm going to necropost........ (gollum you can yell at me at the Rendezvous if you come) I'm interested in this legend and have been out a couple times searching for this (boots on ground.....with people who have commented in this thread) and haven't found much but gold-free quartz veins and beautiful landscapes. We're not done searching, but I have a question for the people here. Someone in the beginning of this thread mentions how "dangerous" it is out here. I'm not going to say it isn't. It is. They went on to describe the vast amounts of water you need to bring with you to get to this area.......this is true, you should, especially if you're hiking and not taking an OHV of some type. Anyhow, here's the question: In order for us to get there, we need to be in relatively good shape, have a slew of water and food for energy and hydration, which means a pack of some sort, and tools to work, but we are to believe that a somewhat frail old man who moved here from the east to better his health was able to do it every weekend for 5 years with nothing but an empty suitcase, no OHV, no water, no food, no pack and no tools? Anyone else have a problem with this story? and what about the reputation of Fred Mullins..... Wasn't he known for his tall tales?
