Looking for information about some "old ruins" in the Superstition Mountains

[EDN]

All,

Below are two google earth images of some old ruins in the Superstition's.

I'm hoping someone can tell me more about these places or reference a book I could read more about this place. I have searched everywhere on the internet to find something/anything about this place. I have only found one story that I think describes this place. The story is about some solders trying to get someone with authority to come down to talk to them. They send a young boy on one request and an old lady on another. The story is very short and does not go into a lot of detail. I don't think the solders get them to come down and just move on and report.

The place in the first image, is high above the place in the second image. I think the place in the first image is a fall back or defensive position for the place in the second image. The two places are about 0.5 to 0.75 miles apart from each other. Not sure I want to give out GPS coordinates. I have done this in the past, only to get yelled at by folks on the forum saying it makes it easy for people to find and cause damage to these places. I suppose that could be true, however I think most hikers that get off the beaten path would not.

If you do know where this place is, email me, and if your right, I will confirm this is the place. (weakeye001@gmail.com)

I want to go out to this place. However, I have one other major trip I'm planning before I head out to see this one.

Hope you enjoy and look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

EDN

Spartanoc,

No this is not the place.

I think the picture below is the one you're thinking in Queen Valley.

Thanks,

I know it hasn't been that long since I started this Thread but, I thought I would have got some more comments.

Has anyone been to the first two places I posted?

Hope to hear from you soon.

If you send a PM to somebody, I'm sure you'll get the answer you want. GPS coordinates are needed. I haven't seen those ruins in all the years I've used Google Earth.
