    I lived in Apache Jct. in the 1970's and early 80's. We used to ride dirt bikes and explore that area as teenagers. We never found any gold, but surely enjoyed the freedoms of those days.

      My grandpa was from Estacion El Llano Sonora, (about 100 kilometers south of the border, from Nogales, Sonora or Arizona). They would go white tail deer hunting (and gold prospecting) west about 30 Kilometers to an area called El Cajon (the big box). During the 1920's and 1930's, they feared going there because there were stories of Apache holdouts, still living in those mountains, and occational stories of lost hunters or prospectors; plus occational loss of cattle and horses stolen. There may have been some of the Lipan Apaches (part of the Chiracahua offshoots tribes). As a young boy in the 1960's and early 1970's, my dad and grandpa took us hunting there, and we would always kill deer. That area could sustain a family of Apaches for many years, with plenty of wild life, and other natural foods. Also, the Pitaya catus about 40 kilometers south, provided abundance of prickly pears, in the late spring and early summer.

    For the life of me I'm still stuck on the vault room that the Apache Indians had somewhere in the Superstition Mountains. I want to find out if this vault room does exist or not. There is alot of truthful negality behind it and many people have claimed it does exist. Some stories of gold being stored there or Apache's stealing it to keep it from white men was very strong then and in these stories you draumatize facts of it's existence through the stories of those people that witnessed it back in the 1870's. Where do you find information to look for these stories and where do you create a search for it? The stories behind the Vault are worth soo much more than the value of gold to me. If you look at the war between the Apache's and the white man you'll see these great men fight over truth and not the value of gold. These stories is the real value because of the knowledge of what was in those stories. I do know about a great mystery behind the SS mountains that the Apache indian tribes have kept from the white men and I do want to mention it here bc of it's authenticity. The Apache knew of a sacred rock thats been hidden for years in their poesession. Who has this rock and where it is located haunts my mind bc they have it and try to keep the story hidden from the white man due to it's mysterious power to heal and it's priceless value. IF anyone knows more about this rock and these stories please share with me. I want the reader to understand that this rock has miraculous powers to heal. The Apache's do have this rock.

    I'm going to watch the "Apache Wars" episode you mentioned and will edit this comment if it changes my mind. I take issue with your saying the Apaches were "not indigenous" and that they "raided everybody." If they were there since the 1300s, they were indigenous for all intents and purposes compared with invading Spaniards and Mexicans. One could say it was Spaniards and Mexicans who were raiding territory that didn't belong to them.

      Please feel free to do that but keep in mind that the Apache started in in Arizona in small numbers and grew in strength over time. The Comanche drove the Apache from western Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas in the 1700s.

      @@larryhedrick254 Thanks for the reply. I have been enjoying this UA-cam channel for several years, beginning when I did four day-hikes in the Supes during a vacation week based in Phoenix a few years ago. Although the Apaches may have been more aggressive towards other Indian tribes, I'm sensitive to Indians being depicted as violent savages, which is such a common and false narrative in United States culture. I get a lot of free 1950s western movies via my Roku TV and it seems like half of them involve white men fighting Indians.

      I’m sorry but those 300 murderers I spoke of were documented and contained some unspeakable brutality and torture. In fact the Pima carried war clubs and smashed the faces in of dead Apaches having something to do with the dead walking around the “happy hunting grounds” blind and unrecognizable. The Apaches did the same to the Pima. I don’t go into that much detail in my stories but I defend my research and story telling.
      The white soldiers did not participate in such things the Pima and Maricopa did to the dead but did little to stop if anything to stop it.
