We're after Inca treasures this time 'n they're hidden somewhere in
the Llanganatis Mountains down in Ecuador. There was enough of 'em
't fill a good sized buildin 't a depth of twelve foot. Now that's
a lot of loot. The feller that hid 'em was mighty clever 'n we had
a dickens of a time tryin 't figure out what he'd done we with 'em.
Ya ain't gonna believe what finally turned the trick fer us. In
order 't get 't them mountains we had 't pass through headhunter
country. From ever description we had of 'em we knew they'd be
after our heads. They'd take 'em 'n pop the eyes out of 'em 'n
shrink 'em 'n hang 'em in their huts 't remind 'em how fierce they
was 'n how dumb we was. Yer gonna meet Nacho 'n Luca. They're gonna
be our guides inta where we can start huntin fer the treasures on
our own. They supplied Big Mike 'n Dr. Jack Ford with hosses 't
ride that was right out of King Arthur's time. Before we left Santa
Fe I got together with our gunsmith 'n told him where we was headin
'n what we was gonna be up against. He came up with a new weapon
fer us that will knock yer socks off. Get yer protective gear on 'n
get yer firepower ready. We'll do our best 't keep ya from gettin
harmed. Thanks fer jumpin inta this one with us cause its a
humdinger. Gramps
As ya know if ya've been trackin us, we left some of the Ottoman
Empire treasures behind us when we was last in the Mediterranean
Sea. We're goin back after 'em. Ya also know we lost a soldier when
we was there the first time so we prepared ourselves with the best
firepower in the world this time. Before we could get over there
though we found Eddie McGrath was after our treasures agin. This
time he was gonna use Aunt Margaret 't get at us. We was in a
desperate race 't get 't her before that snivelin low life could. I
think ever pirate in Europe was waitin fer us this time round. The
word had got out ahead of us we was comin 'n they was prepared. On
top of that it looked like ever train robber in Europe was out 't
get us too. The search fer the treasures come near 't doin some of
us in. The rascals hidin it set up more booby traps that ya can
imagine. It was a good thing we had Colombo with us this time cause
he's awful good at pullin our fat out of the fire. Get yerself
ready to get out of some awful tight spots. We get more than our
share this time round. Shore glad yer lendin us yer imaginations.
Yer a lot more help 't us than ya might think. Gramps
As usual Sam was workin on uncoverin another treasure fer us 't
discover. This time we was goin deep inta the heart of Mexico 't
look fer the seven caves of Chicomoztoc. They was the origin caves
of five indigenous tribes down there 'n it would mean the world 't
'em if we could find 'em. Now as ya can see right quick that only
accounts fer five of 'em. That leaves two more. Wal now, them other
two was supposed 't be loaded with some of the purest veins of gold
on earth 'n if we could find 'em it was gonna help the five
villages we was workin with attract their young'uns back. They'd
been leavin till there was only the real young 'n mostly old folks
left. The lure of modern civilization was too strong fer 'em. Where
we was gonna be explorin was as primitive as ya can get. It was
infested with Mexican banditos that was as mean as a stepped on
rattler. We had 'em breathin down our necks 'n we knew they'd do us
in 'n take everthin we had if they ever got the chance. Yer gonna
be surprised at how clever them ancients was bout concealin the
clues 't where them caves was. Sam was up a stump tryin 't figure
'em out. Hope ya got yer workin duds on cause there's a passel of
work this time round. Thanks fer joinin up again. These treasure
hunts are so much better when yer along. Gramps
I'll bet ya knew we was gonna make it 't Egypt on one our treasure
hunts. Wal now, that's just what we're doin this time. Jeffrey,
Sam's assistant there in our offices in Santa Fe, dug up some very
interestin stuff on Pharaoh Harihor who was a high priest before he
became a pharaoh. That put him in a unique situation regardin the
tombs 'n treasures of ever pharaoh before him. Legend says he was
the richest pharaoh ever 'n Sam was bettin he knew how he got that
way. He was also bettin he could find the tomb of Harihor even
though hunder'ts of others had tried it 'n had come up empty
handed. Before we head 't Egypt though we have 't take care of what
we was gonna do with our business "OBJ Treasure Hunters, Inc."
Things was gettin absolutely crazy on us 'n we had 't make a major
decision bout what 't do. Once we got out there among the tombs
lookin fer Harihors, we was set upon by a band of grave robbers.
They was a fearsome bunch 'n was bristilin with firepower. They
wanted Big Mike. They was bettin we'd pay 'em a king's ransom 't
get him back 'n they was shore right bout that. Yer gonna have 't
sit down 't read what we found under the Sphinx. Whoever created
what we found there was one of the greatest minds ever. I wonder if
aliens had a hand in it? Pack real light stuff on this trip cause
it gets mighty warm in Egypt. Shore glad yer comin along. It makes
everthin a thousand times more excitin. Gramps
El Dorado, the city of gold. That's what the legends was sayin bout
it. Ya know what somethin like that does 't treasure hunters don't
ya? Sam was diggin up everthin there was on it cause he was
determined 't find it even though thousands had tried it before
him. It was said the whole durn city had disappeared before the
Spanish Conquistadors could get their greedy hands on it. Sam was
bettin he could figure out where it went 'n we got ourselves ready
't get down 't Bogota 'n get started. Before we could get goin
though I found myself in the hands of kidnappers. Ya ain't gonna
believe who was behind tryin 't ransom me fer ten million dollars.
This time round yer gonna meet Dr. Jack Ford. Jack is one of the
best human beins ever created 'n yer gonna find out why. He's full
of more tricks than them Mississippi river boat gamblers 'n proved
it time after time. He found a way 't save our hides when I was
shore we'd seen the last sunset we was ever gonna see. It'll knock
yer socks off 't see how he done it. We hit a dead end in our
search fer El Dorado. Yer gonna get yer socks knocked off agin when
ya see what happens. Hope ya don't get altitude sickness cause
we're climbin mighty high in this adventure. Dress yerselves warm
cause it's mighty cold where we're goin. Thanks fer comin along
cause ya always lend us courage when we get in tight spots. Gramps
We're headed 't the bottom of the biggest hole in the earth in
North America, the Grand Canyon. Sam's research helpers uncovered
information bout an ancient civilization developin a very advanced
civilization there thousands of years ago. They say there have been
those that discovered it but took the location 't their graves with
'em. Course ya know Sam learnin stuff like that got him all fired
up 't head there 't see if we could find any evidence of 'em. We
knew we couldn't do it without help though 'n started lookin fer an
Indian guide. Tribes had occupied the canyon since their origins 'n
knew things white men was never gonna know. We found Dan Ferren.
I'm always amazed bout how lucky we are 't find top notch people 't
help us out. When Dan found out Big Mike was Michael P. James the
now famous archeology writer I thought he was gonna stop breathin.
He got so shaky he collapsed inta a big chair until he could gather
his wits agin. When we got 't the canyon we found there was others
there ahead of us 'n the race was on. We come awful near 't losin
Sam 'n was near out our minds tryin 't locate him. Ya will be
amazed at how clever them ancients was bout protectin what was
theirs. We're headed where it's hot agin so prepare yerselves. Make
shore ya got lots of nice cold drinkin water handy cause even when
yer only imaginin what we're doin I'll bet yer gonna feel mighty
thirsty. Thanks fer comin along. I hope ya like prowlin around
underground. Gramps
This time we're headed inta cannibal country agin. The Jaguar
People was said 't be the worst cannibals on earth 'n we had 't go
through their territory 't get 't where we was goin. They was the
guardians of the Secret City of Paititi 'n had never let anyone get
even close 't where it was supposed 't be. Before we could get 't
land of the Jaguar People we had 't fight our way through other
hostile savages that was determined 't do us in. They caught us in
the rivers we was travelin. I think yer gonna like the way we took
'em on. Before we left 't join up with Dr. Jack Ford 'n his team we
ran across a book written by the son of a feller named Webb Thomas.
Thomas had made six attempts 't find the same thing we was lookin
fer. He disappeared never 't be heard from agin. The accounts of
them attempts was awful grisly 'n I did my best 't let others l
know what we was up against goin after the treasures this time.
Load yer backpack up good cause we're doin a lot of paddlin 'n
hackin our way through jungle. Have yer firepower handy too. Thanks
fer joinin us. Gramps
We've just gotten back from Brazil 'n found Luke Mephistopheles,
the attorney who defended Uncle Timothy 'n Angus O'Day, was busy
tryin 't track 'em down. They'd been missin fer more than half a
year now 'n Luke was determined 't find 'em. Seems Timothy had told
him he knew a family secret bout Sam that Sam would pay through the
nose 't keep quiet. Luke made a huge mistake when he went 't Hammer
't try 'n find out what happened 't Eddie McGrath. He knew Eddie
was with Timothy 'n Angus when they disappeared. Once Hammer knew
what Luke was tryin 't do he got on the trail of Eddie too. Luke
had talked Black O'Day, Angus's son inta joinin him in the hunt.
Hammer brought two of his cohorts Paddy 'n Maddy along with him.
They all wound up in Santa Fe, each determined 't be the first 't
find those they was lookin fer. Yer in fer a surpise when ya learn
how we was dealin with Black O'Day 'n Paddy 'n Maddy. Dress casual
like cause Santa Fe is a mighty causal place. Thanks for joinin us
cause we shore like sharin the excitement. Gramps
Just like them Ottoman Empire treasures were back 't finish gettin
the rest of the Atahualpa treasure. We thought we had the
headhunters that helped us last time ready 't help us agin 'n got
the surprise of our lives. Not only wasn't they not gonna help us,
I thought the young headhunters was gonna talk the older ones inta
doin us in. I'm mighty thankful Sam 'n Me had them new powers of
ours. We've got Dr. Jack Ford 'n his team with us as well as Long
John Hook 'n all the Aussies he always has with him. We thought we
was all set but them headhunters outfoxed us 'n captured Sam 'n me
'n Big Mike 'n Jack 'n his team. Big Mike is gonna knock yer socks
off. I knew he was quick witted but none of the rest of us could
hold a candle 't him on this trip. That brain of his was workin at
light speed 'n I'm shore thankful it was cause he saved our bacon.
Gettin the treasure out of headhunter country wasn't our only
problem. We come near 't gettin stuck in Esmeralda 'n only got out
of there by the skin of our teeth. Then we ran inta... Hold up
there a minute, I guess I'd better let ya find out fer yerself. I'm
mighty glad yer strappin on yer back pack with us. Bring all the
tricks ya can think of fer gettin out of trouble. We're gonna need
'em all. Gramps
Ya remember don't ya bout us findin Merlin's treasure? While we was
down findin the Atahualpa treasure Sir Thomas Mitchell over there
in Camelot sent a telegram sayin he'd discovered what he was callin
Merlin's cavern. He found a book on a pedestal in the cavern 'n fer
the life of him couldn't make heads 'r tails of it. Since we was
gone Marie wired back 'n asked him 't please send the book 't us.
He wired us sayin that book was stuck 't that pedestal 'n he was
bettin an army couldn't move it. In the same wire he was wantin 't
know if we'd be interested in comin back over 'n takin a look at
it. See yer already thinkin ahead of us knowin we'd be as curious
as a cat lookin fer a mouse bout that book. As soon as we could we
made arrangements 't get over there 'n take a look. Big Mike 'n Dr.
Jack Ford had made arrangements 't write a book on the Atahualpa
treasure. Jack was also sayin he could use some help dealin with
the cannibals regardin gettin the rest of the treasure out. Big
Mike 'n Rylan was headed down 't Bogota. Sam 'n me was on our own
goin back 't Camelot. If I haven't stretched yer imagination 't the
limits yet yer in fer a surprise. We was absolutely amazed at
Merlin's powers. That Book of Magic Sir Thomas struggled with was
the key 't things ya only dream bout. This time round yer gonna
find out what at least one of them Penny Dreadful books they was
writin bout us over in Europe had 't say. Yer gonna be as safe as a
newborn babe on this adventure so ya can leave yer firepower behind
when ya join us. Thanks for comin there ain't nothin in the world
like havin ya along with us in somethin like this. Gramps
