Young Indiana Jones and the Quest for Montezuma’s Mask

You are Henry Walton Jones Junior. Known to your friends as Indiana Jones. Aptly named after a dog you had found memories of.

Indiana Jones: Hope Valley is 20 minutes south of South Lake Tahoe. At the 3 way “intersection” where 88 and 89 intersect, pull into the southern dirt parking lot. Go to the Wilderness Calender. To your right see black pole? Beyond pole is a dirt path that takes you a to cement path. Take cement path east. Soon you will see a yellow marker in the “meadow”. Go to it. Take 54 steps beyond National Boundry. On your right you will see gold rock island. In one of the crevice of these rocks is Indiana Jones.

After a long year of studying at the University of Chicago, you were rather grateful for an invitation to hear Lord Winters of Cambridge University speak about his current plans to excavate the Tomb of King Tut.

Two days into the lectures you receive a urgent cable.

“I must speak with you. Stop. My father Professor Senior Don Thomas Gato has gone missing. Stop. Please meet me at Lourdes of London at 2:00 tomorrow. Stop. Senorita Slick Kitty. Stop.”

You have heard Professor Ravenwood speak rather highly of Professor Senior Don Thomas Gato. He is highly respected and admired in the Latin regions of the world. A native of Mexico, he is Mexico’s most famous archeologist. He was the leading archeologist for Machu Pechu.

Naturally you make the arrangements to meet Senorita Kitty.

When you arrive Senorita Kitty is already there. She immediately recognizes you. “Senior Hones!”

“Jones, Ja-Ja,” you sheepishly reply.

“My apologizes. My father Professor Senior Don Thomas Gato has been missing for the last 3 weeks. He was in search of Montezuma’s Mask.”

You nod. You are very familiar with the rather famous artifact. It was one of the few pieces Cortez accidentally left behind during La Noche Triste, the night of Cortez’s escape.

Spanish Conquistador Herman Cortez had landed in Veracruz, Mexico and began his task of destroying the Aztec Empire. The Aztec’s ruler Montezuma II did very little to repeal Cortez. In the end, the vast Aztec Empire fell to the Spanish Conquistadors forever.

“My father was working with a French student by the name of Rene Belloq. Do you know of him?”

“No”, you admit. Only having completed your first year, you know very few fellow students.

“I do not know why my father trusted him. The French . . . They too have tried to rule us and failed,” she said rather proudly. “Will you help me find my father?”

Swallowing down tea, you agree.

You immediately seek info regarding transportation to America from England. There is a plane leaving in 4 days and there is a transatlantic ship sailing in the morrow.


Marker #1 From the parking area walk the road in the southerly direction. Stop in front of “Entering Travel”. At 130 go across meadow to a very large boulder.

Plane: Facing boulder to the SW is a fallen log. In the middle of this log, buried under bark is a LB.

Ship: Facing the boulder to the NE is 3 Apsen trees in a line. 3rd one between trunk and rock is a

Eventually you arrive in Mexico City. After buying necessities, you head into the jungle.

Senorita Slick Kitty explains that her father set up camp just south of the Ximenez Ruins. Though you are anxious to see the ruins, the hour grow late.

Do you head for camp or the ruins?

Marker #2 From the parking area walk the road in the southerly direction. Stop in front of “Entering Travel”.

Camp: At 340 take 88 short archeologist person steps to a multi-limb tree. The middle limb is decapitate and has a green tip. Eastside, between tree and rock~LB.

Ruins: At 300 take 70 short archeologist person steps to a series of rock islands. The island that resembles a rectangle hides a LB in it’s crevice.


After recovering from your adventurous night, you wake to find that Senorita Kitty is completely gone.

Quickly you search Professor Senior Don Thomas Gato’s tent. Without reservations, you read his journal. His last entry reads:
“After all my researching and after many hours excavating, the mask can only be
hidden in two chambers: The High Priests Chamber or the Warrior’s Chamber.
I believe the mask is in the -”

And no more. The pages have been ripped from the journal.

You immediately head for the Ximenez Ruins.

Marker #3 Continue your southerly walk~up hill. Pass green gate. Find the brown doorless house fit for a mouse.

Ruins: At 220 you will find two very large boulders. Behind this is a very large “V” redwood (?) tree. On SE side, tucked under a rock is a LB.

Aztec Art #1: Follow green fallen fence northerly to fallen brown tree. On northern side, at tip, tucked in pocket is a LB.

Aztec Art #2: Looking west, see the sleeping hard giant? Past giant is two same-size rocks. One on left, tucked between rocks, is a LB.

Aztec Art #3: At 340 take 100 short archeologist person steps to an island of rocks. In a cervice, tucked under tree dropping and logs is a LB.

After checking your sketch of the ruins, where do you go?

Marker #4 Watching for Head hunters you cruise up the hill. Pass Cyclops, with his little growing green buddy in front, you come to a small orange rock on the side of the road.

The High Priest’s Chamber: At 260 take 50 short archeologist person steps to fallen Medusa. Just past Meduse , SW, is your old pal “Stumpy”. On the south, buried deep within is a LB.

The Warrior’s Chamber: At 140, up hill, is a rather “thick”, “wicked” looking tree. Before the tree is a planted rock. Under planted rock is a LB.

After saving Senorita Slick Kitty, her father Professor Senior Don Thomas Gato and the Mask of Montezuma you know that this was just the first in your many adventures in archeology. And something rather distinctive tells you that you have not seen the last of Senorita Slick Kitty . . .
