Very nice. I remember back-packing in the Superstitions about 40 years ago and encountering an old prospector. Seriously. He was dressed the part, complete with old Colt revolver, leading a burro with his supplies. As he walked past and was gone I had to think that maybe I had just imagined it......
Thanks for the reply sb, back in the 70's and 80's the Superstitions were being converted into a Wilderness Area and things were calming down. As late as the early 60's there were still occasional shootings over mine claims. While backpacking is still popular, the light weight high tech camping gear doesn't require the use of
pack animals any more.
