Re: Saber Tooth Cats?
Thanks for the interest in saving those sites Sandman. Good idea to document the vandals. In our little neck of the Arizona/Mexico border there are alleged mastodon fossils just under the surface along Forest Road 61 just north of Lochiel, AZ. The road is paved for about 50 yards, word has it that m...

Re: Camino del Diablo

Re: TROUBLE ALONG THE BOARDER
I will get pics of the jerks as they drive by. I will also get pics of the places to avoid. Since these wads are so into privacy I'm sure me getting their pics on public roads will cheese them off. All pics will be posted here and every website that may be relevant. BTW Our first meeting with a Duqu...

Re: TROUBLE ALONG THE BOARDER
We've been living in a ghost town in the Patagonia Mountains for almost a year. We're leasing a place that was built by a Nogales bar owner in the early 70s. Our first inkling of trouble was when we met the current owner to look at the place and discuss leasing options. He is the most obnoxious, rud...

Re: Ted DeGrazia's paintings.
Thanks for your post Hangman. I noticed I called the movie "Over..." instead of "End of...". Thanks for that description. I had forgotten some of the details and facts about the movie and the whole Superstition Mountain episode. Your comments about Apache Junction being a locatio...

Re: Ted DeGrazia's paintings.
An elderly friend of mine, "Two Guns", was Ted's buddy for time in the 70s. He appeared as the bad guy in a short film by Ted titled "Over the Rainbow" and also appears in a coffee table bio book about DeGrazia. I haven't seen the movie in a few years but I think there is a scene...

Re: Driving by the border
Some of my family has lived on the border since 1849. Others since prehistory. The European settlers married Mexicans and vice versa. None of these family members can stand illegals. Not one. These American conservative "cracker" relatives are as brown as any ethnic "Mexican" and...

Re: Driving by the border
I'm of the tiny minority that espouses annexation of Mexico. "Annexation" has a very negative connotation anymore; practiced by Nazi Germany, the former Soviet Union and a few other tyrannical nation-states. Mexico has proven that it is not an ally, and is in fact a very real danger and en...

Re: Coyote's vs. Greyhounds
Since I am as much a part of the ecosystem as the coyotes I have no qualms about making dead the ones that climb the fence or burrow under it to get to my space and stock. Around my space, the ones that avoid humans are the ones that survive to teach their pups not to opportunity hunt in humans' bac...
