Nice ,Post. I was out there as a young kid in early 80s. Sister lived in south Phoenix. My Brother was in Prescot az. Brother and I summited Thumb Butte In Prescot before they baned hiking it. My brother is sill in Chino Valley. Aunt and uncle in Buckeye! I plan to return to AZ. Maybe next winter, to hike from south rim into the Grand canyon? All things and god willing? Time will tell. Awsome post, my sister talked of the superstitions etc. Touches home so to speak. Thanks
