During the years 1954 through 1964, J. Keith Pope became involved in a series of fascinating adventures that would suffice for two lifetimes! His exploits took him halfway around the world during a decade of adventure and exploration. Starting with the Lehi I Raft venture in 1954, until joining the famous Masada Expedition in 1964, Pope met many of the world's leading explorers and archaeologists. He was at Masada when the latest of the Dead Sea Scrolls were unearthed. In 1955 Pope met John Libi and aided the noted explorer plan his fifth expedition to Mt. Ararat in search of Noah's Ark. In 1960, Pope and John L. Ferris of Walnut Creek, California joined forces with Pablo Bush Romero and CEDAM in search for pirate hero Jean Lafitte's grave in Yucatan.
