I don't really have any info on Rojas that you have not already found, but am tagging this thread so I can follow it as I am also interested. Roy & deducer, This question was first asked by Azmula a number of years ago on the LDM Forum. There was some discussion at that time. As I'm sure you ar...

Ditto to what Joe said - thanks Tom and you ARE the best! I hope you will consider writing a book explaining all the place names in and around the Superstitions, or at least some of them.

Sometimes people with guilty conscious problems see conspiracies all around them, engaging them in their beliefs only reinforces them. Much of thi...
