    I grew up in the Phoenix area and now live in the foothills of the Superstition mountains. The legend of the Lost Dutchman is alluring, enchanting and alive to this day. This attracts some strange folks, as I have witnessed on day hikes. For example, the guy with the homemade camper on his truck and the look on his face when I said, Good morning. Word to the wise there are many, "Dutch hunters" out there still, whom may not see your presence as friendly. On another note I love these guys. There stories appear to be accurate.

    Although I grew up in AZ, I moved to MN about 22 years ago. I visited the Superstitions and did some GREAT hiking and exploring in 2022 and was enchanted; I always knew of the stories but had never visited the area while living in AZ (Why??). Ive never felt satisfied up here in MN, AZ is magical and it pulls very hard at me. I would love to move back, but I feel like its important to always try for a new experience, so I thought I would move close, but not back, to AZ. Perhaps New Mexico, similar but different.

    My husband and I used to drive a long dangerous dirt road to the 3 lakes up there in the '80's. Beautiful- and especially liked a shorter trip down a dirt road called Peralta Trail in our little '77MGB. Can't believe we took such an unreliable car into that wilderness-lol. Spookiest mountains I've ever seen and I love all the Lost Dutchman books and lore I've read about it. Good to hear your stories, love your work!

    This channels great, makes me less home sick. Back when I lived in Arizona I used to go to Hieroglyphic canyon when I was 16-17. It was the first place I started hiking at when I would go into the mountains. It’s probably my favorite part of the mountain or the area near three sisters summit and the Apache kids cave. I always wondered what all the petroglyphs mean. I’ve never been able to find other petroglyphs in the mountains but I have found many grind holes and throw away spots. Thank you for another great video!

    As usual a very educational and interesting piece of Arizona history. I have mentioned this before ..I started coming out in 1977 and lived on Warner Rd., it was the southern most east west running road and (-Dirt) at that time. South of Warner was all desert or orange grove. always loved the weekends off from work when we would head to the Superstitions.. Wish I had met you both back in those early days., Take good care and keep the stories coming . I never tire of listening in !!!

    I grew up in Tucson in the late 50s on through the 1970s and returned often to the region including Apache Springs. Now as an environmental sociologist, I often think about petroglyphs and wonder what was going through the minds of those who drew them. Was it simply graffiti of the time? Early travelers with wagons and coaches, after all, were known to toss belongings or broken parts for various reasons which were then trash. We find an old broken wagon part and now have something significant. As an armchair American historian, I too enjoy good hikes into the past.

    I've been to this spot a few times. I noticed the grind holes, it kinda made me wonder if while the women were grinding grains, if kids were drawing the glyphs, just trying to keep occupied while the adults worked. They're still cool, but I've wondered if this is in part why no one knows exactly what they mean.

      The animals are there to help tell stories to youngsters how to recognise and catch game for food. The snakes are the creator giant snake that carved the rivers as they went along. The strange figures are the dancers. They know this because Australian Aboriginals know the stories of the ancestors.

    One day I and an aquaintence were hitch hiking out of the mountains up by Kearney ,Winkleman ,Kelvin past Ray Pit .We were digging blue stone like Cryscolla and anything of that nature.Anyway we ended up at, I believe Apache Springs and a school bus pulled over .A man stepped out and said"I will give you a ride if you will just wait a couple of minutes ".Well we finally boarded and started down the road .We introduced ourselves and I asked him why he had us wait before boarding .He then told me to open up the door to the back of the bus.Now the bus was turned into a motor home .And it had a bedroom in the back with a door.So I opened the door and a huge paw grabbed hold and opened the door completely and an almost grown African lion stepped out.What should one do?This is a true story.Doobey the lion was seen all over the valley of the sun that year untill he was given to a man in San Fernando who raised exotic animals for H.wood.That was in 72.

    Love the stories. I still think that a good amount of the rock art and drawings are just from kids with nothing to do. Maybe too old to sit around with the others and too young to do the adult stuff like hunting and such. First draws an animals and the second kids says "thats nit how you draw it, its more like this", and before long all the rocks are covered in weird looking animal drawings..lol. I am just as sure there are drawings for many other things like directions and such too.
