I am now working in the bradshaws I have seen a few signs around and as you said I am finding a lot don't know what all of them mean but maybe some day they will buckAufinder01 said:Hi,
I think I've seen too, years ago, as I'm often in the Bradshaws. That whole area has many signs. Lots of pits and mines.

On the other hand there are plenty of spanish trail markers and native glyphs in the bradshaws....and some of them range over into the morristown area the back way. I lived in glendale for 12 years before we moved to colorado...and i do get back there to continue mapping my markers from time to time. I was down there from the 10th thru the 19th recently. Found a few new ones while i was there. Hoping to get back in april sometime...but that all depends on the drilling schedule for the rig i'm on as i do directional work and i am with the rig until the well is finished.
After being gone for 3 years plus i was amazed to see they have paved the road from 1-17 all the way down the hill to the bumble bee road...progress i guess.
Azstomper yes the road is only paved for the first mile some thing to do with the Bumble Bee ranch turning into a dude ranch Buck
Yea I know what you mean I used to work the oil patch back in the late 70 till the middle 80's OIL FIELD TRASH AND DAMM PROUD OF IT wished that I would not of left it for they were GREAT TIMES OOOH yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!azstomper said:Did part of the cleator the back way loop while i was there and took the maggie mine road to bcc instead of I-17 since its been a while since i have been out that way. I really miss that area...but i don't miss the clutter of phx's urban sprall these days. Ever since anthem went in things went down hill. It was kinda nice to just sight see for a day instead of humping a pack up and down those hills out there. I noticed old Red's place on castle creek is wiped clean....guess they caught on to his 5 years of squating = patented land idea...and the crazy old coot who used to take pot shots at you near howards copper mine is gone...i think they called him the preacher or such. Red said he took a shot at the sheriff one time...
Started to head over to castle hot springs and saw real estate signs which is disturbing news.....
At least there are plenty of markers here in colorado and utah to chase down. I didn't realize it until my first oil patch job last year that the dominguez-escalante journey of 1776 went right thru my back yard here in junction. My first well was in collbran and there was a trail marker not more than 500 yards south of the pad we were on and it kinda got me to finish reading about the fathers journey and rekindled the search....gotta love it.
