The Lost Dutchman Mine

Seeing how this is coming from my lovely (not really) state of Arizona, I thought it would be cool to share :D I know this is bad, but I will admit that I'm a little skeptical on some of the maps' interpretations

FP,

Umm....I know it's East of where I live and I believe I'm about an hour or so away from the area. I've never been there but I would like to sometime :) But I have heard it's really hard to get to because you do a lot of hiking and it's scorching hot

That's so cool! :) I'm still trying to find a mystery like that on PEI; but were so damned creative when it comes to our folkore that it's excruciatingly difficult to seperate fact from fiction.

Well I wish you luck on finding something :) I wish I came from a place that had folklore and legends and stuff. I always find the stories interesting. And usually myths and legends start off with some truth in them and then they just get greatly exaggerated over time. It just makes it a little more difficult to find the truth

Wow, you have to be kidding. What type of part time job did you get, CEO of a multinational corporation? :lol: Airline pilot? :lol: Publicity and Communications person for the OITS? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Tank, FP,

I actually don't have a part time job :lol: I honestly don't even know how I got that much. It seems as if it just magically appeared. And before you get any ideas, I did not rob a bank :lol:
