Eagles Dominion Balo... it has changed so much since I drove through there in the summer of '66. Still beautiful but far from the wonderful place it was then. :-(

Balogreene ED, I left Albuquerque in '88. It's grown a bunch, the West has changed, but it is still beautiful, and the weather in ABQ was perfection.

Rake King It is so real-like, you expect John Wayne and a troop of blue coats to come riding at you. I know...they didn't have highways, but remove that and it works. Also no "signbords" or "wind turbines" to obstruct the view.

Eagles Dominion Both G2B... You know that there really aren't many paved roads in the entire state of AZ. and everyone I hung around with all had 4X4s and Quads! :- ) Spent a lot of nights under the stars camping both in the desert and the mountains. I really enjoy your photos because they bring back many memories. LOL

Eagles Dominion Rake most people who live in the cities and in states that only allow you to go camping in designated ares haven't got a clue! AZ. is mostly state owned and you can camp anywhere, the only requirement is you close the cattle gates after yourself. :- ) Az. is an extremely diverse state geographically speaking. People tend to think of it as all desert and sand, nothing could be further from the truth!

Escaped commieny Superstition legends
The legend of the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine centers around the Superstition Mountains. According to the legend, a German immigrant named Jacob Waitz discovered a mother lode in the Superstition Wilderness and revealed its location on his deathbed in Phoenix in 1891 to Julia Thomas, a boarding-house owner who had taken care of him for many years. Several mines have been claimed to be the actual mine that Waitz discovered, but none of those claims have been verified.
Some Apaches believe that the hole leading down into the lower world is located in the Superstition Mountains. Winds blowing from the hole are supposed to be the cause of severe dust storms.

Griefs2bear posted on Photography The Agave ocahui are blooming now. One nearby road has them planted on both sides and down the median. They are a gorgeous bright yellow sight to see. Look on the enlarged photo and you can see many along the road side.

Griefs2bear The Ocotillo on left side get to be 12' to 15' tall. The Saquaro in background can be 30' tall. I'd guess these are about 20' tall.
