Is it a Garmin? If not get one.
Re: Q&A'S - COMPLAINTS - NO SPECIFIC TOPIC DISCUSSIONS
I have a Garmin and a Magellan, and I've seen them both do it. They hit the same satellites, and have the same blind spots.

I have a Magellan, about 9yrs old. It tracks well, but my landmarks all always off and not by a little bit.
I've been looking at a Garmin or a Delorme.

Re: Q&A'S - COMPLAINTS - NO SPECIFIC TOPIC DISCUSSIONS
Well I appreciate the Tip about Jesse. Funny as I was reading there seem to be quite a few parallels. I will defiantly take some precautions to leave information with my wife on where I am planning to go. I think I will bring a bear spray too. It is just sad that they could find no trace. I'll take any tips I can get. To avoid disappearing. I find it a little frightening that in the article the police mentioned two armed prospectors, and said Jesse should have brought protection with him.

pjx,
Anyone who has spent a lot of time out in the mountains will tell you. "The most dangerous animal out there, is the one that walks on two legs".
"If someone is working the Lost Dutchman Mine... and it is within the boundaries of the Superstition Wilderness Area. They are breaking the law, and they are making lots of money while they are doing it. You interrupt them, and their main goal is going to be to keep you quiet"

Welcome to the Forums historybuff, and thanks for sharing the photo.
I didn't know a compass like that existed way back then!

Re: Q&A'S - COMPLAINTS - NO SPECIFIC TOPIC DISCUSSIONS
I found this quite funny actually. "Prospecting" is illegal in the Wilderness, so if they saw real prospectors and didn't arrest them, well I'll be damned.pjx wrote:I find it a little frightening that in the article the police mentioned two armed prospectors,

A LOT of people who hike back there are armed. It's quite common. I highly doubt they were "prospectors".
Re: Q&A'S - COMPLAINTS - NO SPECIFIC TOPIC DISCUSSIONS
Actually djui, Prospecting is legal within the Superstition Wilderness Area.
Section 4.d.2 of the Wilderness Act says:
"Nothing in this Act shall prevent within national forest wilderness areas any activity, including prospecting, for the purpose of gathering information about mineral or other resources, if such activity is carried on in a manner compatible with the preservation of the wilderness environment".
The entire Wilderness Act is posted at: http://www.desertusa.com/mb3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=401
MINING is illegal unless you are granted a Special Exemption, as was the case with the Milk Ranch Claims, which remained to be valid mining claims within the Superstition Wilderness Area, right up until 2003.

Hey Jim,
What would be the three best books in reading about the LDM? I know Sims Ely's book would be one of the top, but any other recommendations? Thanks,
Steve
