Salt River Canyon Ride

En route from Sacramento back to Santa Fe on Wednesday, April 8, 2015, via Southern California and the Phoenix area, I rode US Route 60 from Apache Junction, AZ, through the Fort Apache indian Reservation and on to New Mexico. It is a beautiful ride. This section, spanning the Salt River Canyon, is one of the most scenic.

Gila Box Riparian National Conservation Area - Safford, Arizona

RV camping and boondocking on BLM land near the Gila River and exploring Gila Box Riparian National Conservation Area near Safford, Arizona. While hiking along the bank of the Gila River I encountered a Gila monster for the first time. The Gila Box is a picturesque canyon lined with Fremont cottonwood, Goodding’s willow, and Arizona sycamore trees. The inviting clear cool waters of the Gila River are popular for kayaking, canoeing, tubing, swimming, wading, and fishing.

WE FIND A Prehistoric burial site found near Superior Az PART 1 WE FIND LOST RUINS, WHERE ??

James calls me and tells me there are lost ruin's at Superior Arizona right under our noses . We read the article and set out for an adventure of a lifetime . We set perimeters and plan our assault. Our goal is to have our youtube followers help us find the mystery location . What we find is goverment conspiracy , folklore myths legends and lies . You won't believe how this series ends you won't want to miss it IT'S TIME TO GET IN THE TRUCK ! HERE IS THE ARTICLE FROM THE ARIZONA DAILY STAR DEC 12 2014 A centuries-old Native American burial site has been uncovered along U.S. Highway 60 in Superior, including the remains of at least nine people and evidence of 40 rooms that once stood there.

The human remains, discovered about five miles west of the Oak Flat Campground in the Tonto National Forest, will be repatriated to the Gila River Indian Community, on whose ancestral lands the remains were found, said Todd Pitezel, state repatriation coordinator for the Arizona State Museum on the University of Arizona campus.

The remains — discovered between this spring and October — likely date to the 14th century and represent the Salado people, who were made up of a mix of cultures. The U.S. National Park Service said the Salado are an extension of the Hohokam, who used irrigation canals to farm in the Salt and Gila River valleys, beginning thousands of years ago. The Hohokam and Salado population there decreased drastically between 1350 and 1450, likely because of drought. Those who remained are the ancestors of today’s Gila and Salt River communities, says the Arizona Museum of Natural History.The Gila River Indian Community “views any burial disturbances as a desecration to the Huhugam,” the O’odham name for their ancestors and living relatives, Barnaby Lewis, Gila River Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, said in a statement. “However in this modern day, it is unavoidable and we take great strides to protect our ancestors with privacy and respect.”

The remains will be reburied on the Gila River reservation.

Many Hohokam and more recent Apache artifacts are scattered throughout that area, archaeologists say, including on the 2,400-acre parcel above a massive copper deposit that could be acquired by a foreign mining company this week.

The bill to privatize the parcel, which includes land sacred to Native American tribes, was tucked into the must-pass National Defense Authorization Act by legislators last week. A final U.S. Senate vote is expected no later than today.

The presence of the Gila River Indian Community’s ancestors in the area is one reason the tribe opposes the mining project, Lewis said in the statement.

“Overall, the community opposes any mining project, including the one proposed by Resolution Copper in the Oak Flat area. This mining project in particular will be destructive to the environment,” the email said.

The recent finding at U.S. Highway 60 is the biggest settlement discovered in Superior, said Scott Wood, heritage program manager with the Tonto National Forest.

“It’s the only one like it in Superior that we know of, and certainly the largest one we know of,” he said.

Anna Neuzil is project director for EcoPlan Associates, the archaeological consultants performing the archaeological review for the Arizona Department of Transportation. Neuzil said ADOT officials will not allow her to discuss the findings with the media.



The burial site will be destroyed by the project, but first archaeologists will ensure that all human remains have been collected and repatriated, and will document all other historical artifacts found there, such as decorative pottery, tools and structures, Wood said.
