Seven Cities of Gold? How much fun!

June 5, 2025 By Terry

Palo Duro Canyon lost gold
This week’s stop along the Mother Road took me by surprise. I didn’t expect much from a canyon in Texas, but then I heard about the Spanish explorer Coronado and his quest for the mythical Seven Cities of Gold. Turns out, this canyon has a rich history that goes beyond its natural beauty.

So buckle up, because we’re heading to Palo Duro Canyon State Park in the heart of Texas. And don’t forget to pack your shovel, in case we stumble upon some treasure!

Last week’s puzzle was an easy one. The best time was just 4 minutes and 52 seconds, with the average solving time being 6 minutes and 14 seconds. My time? Well, I was at the top of the pack at 10 minutes and 59 seconds. (I know, my mom always taught me to look on the bright side!) Join me for this week’s puzzle, and be sure to leave your times!

PS: If you happen to live in the San Diego area, considering stopping by the Local Author Fair at Carlsbad Dove Library, where I’ll be making a rare public appearance. It should be fun!

About Terry

I started out as a skip tracer. Just in case you don’t know, that’s the guy who finds the people who don’t want to be found. It was the little things—getting paid to lie—that made skip tracing the fun part of the job.

Those years of chasing deadbeats taught me many valuable life lessons, such as liars come from all walks of life, and always keep your car in the garage.
