Thanks! Clearly a topic we'll have to revisit. Is there a specific aspect you'd like to know more about?

Its not just a mine in there, it was a staging point for the Spaniards from across the wester US, they like to hide their gold there in vaults for safety and come back and get them later. But later never came.

Your right!The Spaniards were there. But the Spaniards would never build a fort in a lower mountain range such as the superstitious mountains. The fort actually was built in the high level of the Sierra Mountain Range in order to protect themselves over looking the gold mine. Why? Do I say this? There is still evidence of road trails at the top of the sierra mountain peak. But they were never looking towards the superstitious mountains because the gold mine was below the mountain peak less than two miles away on the eastern summit side towards Aztec Peak. You hard to wonder? Who were the Aztecs and why did they label, a certain area of outlook, Aztec Peak? You what? Forget it! Keep locking for the gold! As long as you want, just remember what I said.
