Multimillionaire wants you to find his hidden treasure

Post by artjumble »

I was surprised that this wasn't posted already. Maybe a HAZer can be the lucky one to find it.

Now we know why Randy (RWStorm) spends so much time in the Jemez Mountains in New Mexico, he's really looking for the gold cache. :sl:
On every trip into the Superstitions, I find another Gold Mine. Today the mine was filled with Memories. I can not wait for the next trip.

Is it hidden under four palm trees in the shape of a "W"?

I have to go "hat's off" to this guy. Whether or not he put actual gold or whatever in the box, or a note, whoever finds it has found a treasure just by the act of finding it, out in God's countryside. this guy is obviously very passionate about what is happening to our children and our culture! I have no beef with tech, video games, etc. The convenience of alot of technology is just awesome. The sore toe of it all is that it gets so easy to spend time with that stuff and not getting out on a trail, on a lake, on the ball field, or just OUT! This is one reason why my family is gearing up for geocaching. Treasure? I doubt it. Memories and being able to say I saw this, this and this while looking for this spot or item? Oh yes! I am amazed by the reaction I get in general though from friends and coworkers. "Why would you wana do that?" "Not me, there is a game on."
Okay, soap box is back on the shelf now.

A lot of folks that understood the reference to four palm trees in the shape of a W have already "kicked the bucket". ;)

Pam your parents must have taken you to that movie when you were three years old!

:D Nope, we didn't go to movies, but it played every once in awhile on TV when I was young(er).... :D By the time most shows were being shown in color, I was around and watching..... :sweat:

My parents didn't have color TV until I was grown up and moved away. Now I know how my great-grandfather felt when he told us about selling his draft horses to buy a tractor. :D

:sl: Jonathan Winters*, my "old" all-time favorite.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Its_a_mad_mad_mad_world premiered Nov 7, 1963 (was a laugh-a-second)
* = when 33 1/3 records were the thing, I owned a couple of his comedy records. One comedy routine I remember of him during the Civil War period when he concluded that the real reason the South lost the war was from "talking too slow".. Thanks for the memories!

I love that movie too! It's funny, and also shows an innocently unbuilt-up Southern California that is long gone...

I thought he had passed-on, but is still making bank deposits in Santa Barbara, CA (he is now 87.5 y/o)
Remember his character- the famous Maude Frickert, the seemingly sweet old lady with the barbed tongue :lol:
