OLD PICTURES IN THE SUPERSTITIONS

[cactusjumper]

Thought it might be interesting to have a topic where we can share old pictures of the Supes'.

This one is 54-Years old, and I think I have posted it before. I was 13-Years old. That would have been around 1958 when I went in the mountains for the first time with my dad and uncle.

Big adventure for a kid!

This is the Adolph Ruth search party:

It would be nice to see this topic get some action. I have a lot more pictures to share, some never seen before.

Joe - not sure if Tom K. follows this forum at all, but you could point it out to him and see if he'd be willing to share a bunch of his photos. I know I'd love to see some new ones I haven't seen before.

Paul,

I will see if Tom has the time to post some old photo's here.

Here are a couple that I believe, almost, no one has seen:

THIS FLAT ROCK MARKS THE LOCATION WHERE THE CACTUS MARKER WAS FOUND. IT'S JUST BELOW AL'S CAMP:

Anyone else have some pictures they want to post?

Take care,

Joe

The only "old" photos I could post would be retreads of photos other people have taken, and I'd feel uncomfortably as in many cases I wouldn't even know who to give the credit to

For those of you who met Ernie Provence at this year's Rendezvous, here's a picture from 1966:

Don't know if you got to talk to him much, but he hasn't changed a bit. Still a great story teller

You and Connie have a great Christmas!

I hope all my friends, and even those not so friendly, on TNet have a wonderful Christmas!!

Thanks for sharing those pictures Joe, I hope this turns out to be a big photo album.

Happy Holidays back at you, and everyone else.

For Cactusjumper,
Thanks again for sharing. Not quite in the Superstitions, however I thought that you might like to have these images. Who knows, it may even be signed by a Peralta related to the Superstition legend.

Hal,

Nice addition! Many thanks for sharing.

Not many people are participating in this topic, but there's always hope. Someone, I believe, who could add some old stuff in Wayne Tuttle. Another is Tom Kollenborn, but he has not been around this site much.

Thanks again,

Joe
