Lennartz Rescue

Lennartz Rescue 2010

From a anonymous admirer

Twas dat lure of duh Slumach’s Gold

Dat made ol’ Lennartz so Mighty and Bold

A Mighty and Fearless Survival Instructor was HIS claim

As he headed out in search of riches and fame

Up the mountain to where he had been BEFORE

But das fear set in AN-DUH he couldn’t go anymore

Complaining and whining, “Mine feet’s is so sore

I is so scared and just can’t go on anymore”

”I are wet and tired and so very very cold

I can’t remember what I should have NO-DUH “

” HELP ME!! – HELP ME!! “; The Rescue call went out

Indiana Lennartz AGAIN needed help to get out 

Search and Rescue helicopters came in just like before

In 2008 when das wilderness man’s feet’s GOT-DUH sore

Visions of riches and fame may have danced in his head

But the CRAZY ol’ bugger should have just stayed in bed

You can not miss it!

I found the Tent shaped rock just about were everybody said it would be: just north of the head of Pitt Lake. Probably a two or three day walk, just like  Jackson describes it in his letter. So exact that I am surprised that no one has discovered it before. It is a huge rock about the size of a smaller home standing all by itself in a field of rubble that must have been a landslide long ago. The area now is covered with vegetation on top of the loose boulders making it a very hazardous climb to the tent shaped rock. I can see why Jackson would have picked this rock. You simply can't miss it. I know people always say that but you can not miss this if you are in the right area. (The discoverer, a veteran in the field, prefers to remain anonymous until he has had a chance to do some more exploratory work in the area. )

I found Slumach's Lost Gold Mine....on Vancouver Island

Rick Antonson, alerted through Google found the following conversation on the treasurenet forum starting with a message by Hmmm telling about his find and much more. Hmmm may have found gold, says Brian Antonson but he doubts that it could be Slumach's because it's "...an awful long paddle from Vancouver Island says he.

Back from Sasquatch Country

Evan and Adam are just back and already the pictures and a report are on clubtread telling us about their fabulous 12-day trek. They explored the north-west and south-east headwall of the Terrarosa Glacier, the Sloquet Valley, Stanford Creek, climbed all the Fire Mountain spires and the reconnoitred the upper and the lower reaches of Terrarosa Lake.

Adam writes: "12 days on the Terrarosa Glacier is as good as gold for me.."

Evan: "It was a heck of a trip. but we didn't find any gold. What we did find was some of the most beautiful country anywhere in the world and that was worth more then anything to me."

Although both Evan and Adam deny finding any gold, it's clear that if they have found anything, they'd rather not tell us.

Brian Antonson has accepted the invitation also on behalf of his co-authors Mary Trainer and Rick Antonson. The event is scheduled for October 23. Details to follow!
