Jim, On the tape, Bilbrey and Farr state they would like Conatser to "promote" the Stone Crosses. She wants them authenticated first, they decline to have that done. Saying the crosses can't be authenticated, because they are stone, is a bit of a smokescreen. The material they are made fro...

Jim, [Joe, I deleted your last post. (I am sure you have a saved copy) Not because I was offended by by it, but because we have not finished discussing your other one yet. You are not scoring any points here and so far you are down 2. I have observed that when you are lost for words, and losing grou...

Jim, Actually, I have no list of names. As I recall, he tried to sell them to Greg Davis and Clay Worst, but my memory ain't so good anymore. It may have been Bob Corbin, but they were convinced that the crosses were fake. In his own words, Michael told Estee Conatser that the crosses were for sale ...

Jim, That's an excellent suggestion, but since the original crosses have never been examined by an expert to determine exactly what they are made of, and are no longer available, that would seem to be an exercise in futility. I should rephrase the original question. Could you make such crosses with ...

Jim,

Just two questions:

If you wanted to, could you create your own (unique) stone maps/crosses with information that you have gathered, and things you have seen in the mountains?

Did you ever contact Ed Farr?

Thanks in advance,

Joe

Jim, Not only could Michael Bilbrey point to the spot on Tortilla Mt., where he claims he found the crosses, but he could also point to the exact place they will lead you to, at least that's what he was claiming in 1978. What he was looking for at that time, was a buyer for the crosses. He did not r...

Jim, "No, I have never met Ron Eagle. Although I have heard his name repeatedly since the day I arrived in Apache Junction in 1989. I believe he authored the book "West of Dawn"? It is a great read, and testifies to his time on the trail!" I believe that's the second time you hav...

Randy, It's never been hard to see that you have done your homework on this subject. While I may not agree with your conclusions, I do admire the good research you have done. It's impressive. Don't mean to disrupt the flow of your conversation here, but thought I would add a few comments. I noticed ...

Randy, I believe I have copied every post I have made on this forum, except for the one where I replied to your question. My answer was so innocuous, that I just assumed Jim would not delete or censure it. Glad to see that you did not deem it heckling. I avoided replying for awhile, hoping someone e...

For those joining Carolyn and I for Stew and Garlic Toast Friday night, you need to let me know. Those who reply will be assured a meal. All others will be first come first served until we run out. Same story for biscuits and Italian sausage gravy on Saturday morning. Our gas barbecue will be availa...
