"To climb up is always easier than to climb downward."
You may actually be close to the bone here, hiker. This whole Travis/Clyde relationship is intriguing to say the least. Since we don't know what it actually was, we can speculate. No law against speculation. Until we do know all the details - if that is even feasible - many possibilities remain on the table. I know Ryan says, "No, no, no," but ... hmmm.
Fact: we know that Travis and Clyde had some sort of relationship beginning when both criminals served time together in a Texas prison in the early 1930s and apparently continuing after their releases. This later contact - whatever it was - happened during the Barrow Gang crime spree that included 12-15 bank robberies, possibly dozens of other commercial robberies, and at least 13 murders.
Fact: the bank robberies alone averaged about $2,500/pop. That's about $35,000 cash, total, early 30s dollars. That's about 1700 ounces of gold @$20.67/tr oz. To put it in perspective, in today's money, for the bank robberies alone, the gang walked off with maybe $2,250,000 cash ($160,000/bank).
Speculation: assume half or three-quarters of the bank loot can be accounted for - recovered; divvied up among the gang; the cost of doing business; and the daily expense of living like bank robbers (ha ha). That potentially leaves a quarter of the loot, $500,000 (three or four robberies worth), that remained unrecovered and unaccounted for following the end of the fun for Bonnie and Clyde in 1934. We can further speculate that the gang might have cached some or all of this along the crime trail.
Speculation: let's put our tinfoil hats on and wonder if Clyde might have asked his old con pal Travis about a good place in Texas to hide some cash until they needed it later. Let's say they hid a couple hundred thousand or more (today's value) and died in Louisiana before they could come back for it. What would keep Travis from harvesting a couple bags of cash that Bonnie and Clyde would never have a use for? He may have provided the hidey-hole.
Speculation: Q: "Where'd you get the money for that new car, Travis?" A: "Arizona. Yeah, Arizona - it's a secret".
True words, markmar, I've gotten myself in trouble more than once because of that fact.
If you have to climb down the same pathway, it's harder to find footholds because your toes don't have eyes.
A different look of the heart .

A short time ago , Wayne ( Somehiker ) was wondered how would looks like the " FAUCES " from the Latin heart . The time came to see it .
Fact: Travis was incarcerated during the entire time of Bonnie & Clyde’s reign of terror from Feb 2, 1932 until their death in May, 1934. No opportunity to collaborate, assist or advise as to possible stash locations.
Being a big fan of sat photos, you should like this ....

This heart is about 70' x 50' and about 10' high.
The "FAUCES" is about 5' wide.....so indeed " a narrow chasm or passage ".
And that's a well worn and narrow trail that goes right to left across the heart and through the passage.
sdcfia;......... Better check all of Travis's mail and visitor logs to get closer to 100% certain. Until then said:If you can say that with a straight face I'm afraid I can't be of any help to you.
Clyde lost little time getting back into robbing rural stores. Bonnie was picked up by police from a hardware store robbery in Kaufman, TX on April 19, 1932 and later freed for lack of evidence. From that point forward the chase was on for Clyde. When exactly is the TX State police, and later the FBI, going to let Clyde visit, call, write to Travis unmonitored
There is some talk of Travis having escaped during one of his bouts with the CJS. Don't know which time, and haven't seen any notations of "escape" on the prison records. Could have been a local jail issue rather than a felony prison issue prompting those memories. The prison noted all transfers or "sign outs". If it happened, it would be noted. Don't see it.
Leaving aside there being NO viable reason to want to give Travis the keys to the stash, there was no time and no opportunity. But; if you want to believe there was, I'll just set here and watch you work that out. Carry on.
I have no idea what all the myriad events were that occurred in Clyde and Travis's lives during the '32-'34 time span. Neither do you nor anyone else. When Clyde was on the run, what would have prevented him from dropping a letter in the mail with a phony return name? All he needed was a stamp.
You're doing a nice job as Public Information Officer for the Ryan Project, but, really, with all the hints and promises meted out during the past several months, the peanut gallery is bound to chatter. You would have been better served to keep completely silent until the big unveiling, but the genie's out of the bottle. When you first mentioned that Travis and Clyde were buddies, didn't you think folks would wonder about it? Carry on? With what - your damage control?
Are you talking about a Luna Park " stone trail " model ? Looks very dangerous for kids .
The most words on the Latin heart follow the direction of their meanings on the ground . Look at the rocks clues from the map ( in red ) which are almost accurate .
Also , the " NOTO TRIANGULUM " must to be read together with " INTER SEPTENTRIONES ET OCCASUM SOLIS " , which means " Observe the triangle at NW " . The triangle is a ground shape beside the hill and is an important clue to recognize the region . The triangle is most visible in the # 512 post .
