Re: Jesuit Treasure in the Superstitions

From his book, you can choose a couple of hikes to do, and also read the history associated with each hike route. You will probably...

Re: Quartz in the Supers

Sounds like you have everything all figured out Marius.
If so, then I offer my humblest congratulations.

Re: Tom Kollenborn Passes at 80

Thanks for the link Jim.

Re: Here is what happened

Revised my previous post, to further clarify my opinion. 1/4 circle Even less.....about 60 degrees, or 3X20 deg. And barely 100 years old IMO.
