Is There a Curtis Connection with the Lost Rhoades Mine.

 I believe that James Hartzell was an associate of Joe Curtis. I will check into it and make another post. 

The following link is about a gunfight in 1920 that involved Amasa Lyman, whose father may have a Woodside connection, and remnants of Butch Cassidy's gang. A Carbon County Utah and a Wyoming connection.

Spanish Treasure Vaults.

Now I hunt for Spanish Treasure Vaults. They have been around and many have searched and I suppose found these vaults. I am just learning and reading all I can to see what works for me.  I will do more in my home state but also open to anything in the southwestern United States. These vaults are located mainly due to signs left in the rocks and sometime other means.  They are associated with the Kings 5th so some of these vaults could be substantial.

Now I hunt treasure and research outlaws.

My baseball story. 

When I was young I fell in love with baseball.  Both playing sandlot baseball and following Major League Baseball.  My favorite player was Ted Williams.  It seemed everyone liked the Yankees and Mickey Mantle, so I became a Boston Red Sox fan.  That was about 1959.  I am still a very loyal fan of the Red Sox.  I even have Mookie Mania. 

I didn't get to play Little League Baseball.  My mother had me go to church, primary, which conflicted with team tryouts so I didn't get on a team.  I could only watch others play.  I watched older guys play baseball in the Pony League too.  The Pony League was for 13-14 year olds in that area.  I got on a team in the Pony League as they didn't require tryouts.  I was in like my first or second game when my dad bought a car and came and took me out of the game.  I felt like he could have shown me his new car anytime. 

But that wasn't all.  He wanted me to start going down to his ranch and farm at Woodside, Utah.  So much for my baseball career.  Woodside was, and still is in a way, outlaw territory.  My dad used to talk about Joe Walker and the Walker Trail all the time.  I even have a couple of stories about Butch Cassidy and my family. 

My father also used to have a lot of mining claims.  His father had a lot of mining claims and even his father had at least one mining claim.  I have discussed Dode's mining claims in other posts on this blog.  So that gave me an interest in mining, prospecting and somehow treasure hunting.  I have read all the treasure stories about Utah that I could.  I have even researched treasure stories in all states in the west. 

I currently have some active treasure hunts going on and I have joined GPAA so I can go prospecting, panning, detecting or whatever on their claims.  I still love baseball.  My dream is to hit the ball out of Spring Mobile Ballpark, which is the home of the Salt Lake Bees.  This at age 70.  I may not be able to do it but I would sure love the chance. 

Another wish list item is to find a 6 pound gold nugget in California or Oregon.

I took some pictures on my way back from California recently.  Amazing photos.  Two of them are a burial tomb and the grave.  This is near the museum in Clear Creek Canyon near Cove Fort.

Giants in the Grand Canyon.

Quotes from website. 

According to an article published in The Arizona Gazette on April 5, 1909, the Grand Canyon was once home to a civilization that most likely consisted of individuals of cyclopean proportions. If such a civilization ever lived, surely it would have left behind some structure as a testament of its existence.
The article mentions the discovery of an enormous underground citadel by an explorer named G.E. Kinkaid, who stumbled upon it while rafting on the Colorado River. It is worth mentioning that Kinkaid was an established archaeologist and had financial backing from the Smithsonian Institute.
