With Gold trading at an all time high or $935 per ounce, I feel it's only appropriate to tell you where to find some. 

Mere miles from where I blog, are the Superstition Mountains. Sojourners travel from around the world in search of the "Lost Dutchman's Mine." Heres's a synopsis from wikipedia:

"In this story (actually two interconnected stories), members of the Apache tribe are said to have a very rich gold mine located in the Superstition mountains. Famed Apache Geronimo is sometimes invoked in this story. In most variants of the story, the family of a man called Miguel Peralta discovered the mine and began mining the gold there, only to be attacked or massacred by Apaches in about 1850 in the supposed Peralta massacre. Years later, a man called Dr. Thorne treats an ailing or wounded Apache (often alleged to be a chieftain) and is rewarded with a trip to a rich gold mine. He is blindfolded and taken there by a circuitous route, and is allowed to take as much gold ore as he can carry before again being escorted blindfolded from the site by the Apaches. Thorne is said to be either unwilling or unable to relocate the mine."

"Were it not for the death of amateur explorer and treasure hunter Adolph Ruth, the story of the Lost Dutchman's mine would have likely been little more than a footnote in Arizona history as one of hundreds of "lost mines" rumored to be in the American west. Ruth disappeared while searching for the mine in the summer of 1931. His skull -- with two bullet holes in it -- was recovered about half a year after he vanished, and the story made national news, sparking widespread interest in the Lost Dutchman's mine."

"The Lost Dutchman Gold Mine (also known by many similar names) is reportedly a very rich gold mine hidden in the Superstition Mountains, near Apache Junction, Arizona, east of Phoenix, Arizona in the United States. The land is a designated Wilderness Area, and mining is now prohibited there." 

I have a theory about the gold. The legend brought people to this barren wilderness. Just as the gold rush brought fortune hunters to California, Arizona has found it's place on the map. Come see the riches that this part of the valley offers you.
