I am going to take a break for today. Been sitting here at the computer since 6am this morning.

Will post more tomorrow - should be lots for all of you to chew on and come to your own conclusions. Look forward to the dialogue.

Travis writes in one of his many journals that he recovered 26,000 pieces of “something” (he doesn’t specify) from the Colossal Cave. Given the history of this legend, and the facts we have available today, these were more than likely 26,000 gold coins. Even at the lowest denomination – this would equate to a very sizable and profitable recovery for Travis. This is a very important piece of the story – and something that will set Travis up for life - finance his explorations in the Superstitions, as well as making vast investments in property and bonds that equate to millions of dollars in today’s money.
If you read the link that you provided it proves Travis couldn't have found all that gold as it was a much smaller amount.

Only a few thousand dollars which was mostly recovered in Wilcox.


The "True" story.

Bill probably forgot he's somebody else over here.
But I'm sure he totally agrees with what Peligroza said.....

Ryan asked me to let you know......he was been distracted to attend to pressing personal business. He'll be back in the next few days.

Stay tuned, more to follow.
