Kevin R. Decker
The start of it all was when Kevin was in the Army stationed in Turkey. He traveled the area and saw where Noah’s Ark was supposed to be at the base of Mount Arrat. He became infatuated with studying the area. He was a map reading expert and knew how to use the Goggle Satellite imaging to compare the notes with the actual facts. He studied the sands of time and realized that it left a trail of evidence as the Pacific Ocean carried Noah’s Ark across Asia over the Himalayan Mountains and onto Mount Arrat in North Eastern Turkey

Every picture tells a story, you be the judge. A Treasure hunter and Adventurer in search of the 7 Cities of Cibola found forbidden archaeology where fact is stranger than fiction; at the beginning and end of imagination. I cannot make this up if I had to, I am merely reading the signs and speaking truth to power.

The exploration and colonization of what is now North America and the United States from the last ice age to the present is a fascinating story. It is a story of how North America developed and how the United States became the greatest nation on earth. This is not to imply that all of its history was kind, fair, and gentle for we have not yet come close to perfection, but we have become the most giving nation on earth and the strongest force for world peace whether through exploration, purchase, or treaty.
When People Came, a five-volume set, is just a brief story. The purpose is to give the reader an overview of many important happenings that played a defining role in the development of North American and United States. These volumes are a very short story of that early saga from pre-history with the Paleo Indians at the end of the last ice age to 1890 with the end of the Indian Wars.

Volume II starts with the colonists who began to push the boundaries of the new land westward, and the struggle with English rule leading to the American Revolutionary War.
It’s a story of how an incredible underdog (these 13 divided colonies) came together and won their freedom and liberty from England. We learn how our Founders came together to build the foundation of this new country by determining what kind of people and nation we wanted to be. Lastly, we discuss the Old Northwest Indian War and our continued conflict with the native people who struggled to keep their own culture and liberty.

10 Reasons why its not in the Superstitions
10 Reasons Why It's Not in the Superstitions
Glenn Rogers
Nowadays, if you want to find gold, you go to an area where gold has been found. Previous prospectors have already located the hot spots where gold can be found, and the mines have been profitable. One hundred and thirty-four years ago, Jacob Waltz gave his clues to his mine, and not one person has found it. People have made the Lost Dutchman story of locating the mine like an Indiana Jones episode. Jacob Waltz never drew a map to his mine. There are no secret codes, no windows in the rocks. It is a simple story. All we have is what Jacob Waltz allegedly said on his deathbed in 1891, dying from probable pneumonia when he was eighty-three years old. I have ten reasons his mine is not in the Superstition Mountains. And I will give you a pretty good idea where it is.

Change of Luck 1: More than a Fantasy

For the love of money
It’s not unusual to hear that a person loves money, and that that love can get them into all kinds of trouble.
In this realistic fantasy narrative the reverse is true. A one-hundred-dollar bill appears to love the one who possess it. It repeatedly returns to its holder. To be spent again and again. Maybe. But the consequences from a friend or a merchant who does not have the bill are often painful or bringing more trouble than is bargained for.
How bad can that be? Read Change of Luck: More than a Fantasy and see what happens to Jerry when he receives the one-hundred-dollar bill. See what happens to Tara when she receives the one-hundred-dollar bill.

For the love of money
A blessing turns into a curse.
Bruce, a tween, received crinkled one-hundred-dollar bill from his mother’s friend to help him pay for his dog’s vet bill. He soon discovered the dollar bill always mysteriously returned to his wallet.
Try explaining why he still had the money to the vet’s assistant. To his father. To an angry Steve, who’d forced Bruce to give him the bill.
Bruce had to find a way to get rid of it. But how?

Lock me up in the dementia ward!
No son. Not a Chance.
I can just hear my son now. Dad. What sane person believes he possess a magic $100 bill? Unreal. You’ve lost your grip on reality. You need to be placed in a secured unit for your own good.
But I do have such a bill. I spend it. It returns to my wallet in a most visible way. The by-the-book Care Center attendant takes it away from me. It returns to my wallet. If I tell him it’s a magic bill, he’ll report me to my son. If I tell him nothing, he’ll think I’m a thief or worse.
I must get rid of it. But how? It keeps returning. Maybe Maggie knows. She lent it to me. Does he have any control over what happens to him?
