Hi Denise,
This find was exciting for sure. Near the end of the poem that contains clues to the location of the treasure is this line: "If you are brave and in the wood" The entrance to the wood shelter wasn't well traveled. We were brave enough to go in... ASTROBLEME [attachment=11749:Wood_She...r_Inside.jpg] -------------------- Annual Dues Paying Member Since 2008

I would love to see it Dear Africabound, Here's a photo of us from our Sacred Stone Circle site taken just a few days ago while searching for Indulgence. We've had to remove the other photos due to the rush of TTOTC treasure searchers taking interest in our effort without giving proper credit to our work. We're hopeful that you will understand that we are willing to share as much as possible...without providing the location of our search area. We hope all searchers find what they are looking for.

Everytime I drive by Hartman's Rocks going to work or going home I look at that place with a whole different perspective after reading your work. It's some mind blowing stuff just imagining that kind of devastation.

I've gotten a greater appreciation for that area after learning about the Folsom structures discovered near the Big White W southeast of the airport on Tenderfoot Mountain.

Ahh, I can understand that. I only recently (this month) learned of this treasure hunt. I have been looking at the various forums and realize the "search community" is a wild place. I hope you had some good luck! If and when you decide that your spot is not the likely hidey hole; I would appreciate if you could share the location of the medicine wheel. I would love to see it one day.
Thanks, Mike |

Thanks, Mike Mike…, Mike…, Mike, Today is another Hump Day. Try riding a backwards bike, As some searchers will say. Fenn’s birthday is tomorrow And he’s the LEAD DOG! But don’t feel any sorrow, Go BOTG and turn over a log. We’ve found a marvelous scared stone ring After many years of boots on the ground. Google Earth doesn’t show any of the bling, You’re free to spread this image all around. Many marmots call our medicine wheel home, Before being eaten by raptors and wolverines. We are a couple that plan before we roam, Only to gaze upon such marvelous scenes. Sincerely, Johnny & Donna [attachment=11767:IMG_7911.jpg] -------------------- Annual Dues Paying Member Since 2008

For us, the 2019 search season was VERY EXCITING! All of our efforts were related to the Tonko Medicine Wheel as pictured in previous posts.
At 277 degrees true north from the center cairn, we discovered this... [attachment=11772:Side_View.jpg] [attachment=11773:Front_View.jpg] Sincerely, Astrobleme -------------------- Annual Dues Paying Member Since 2008
