What do you think about this?
In 1891, a German immigrant named Jacob Waltz died telling stories of a gold mine hidden in Arizona’s Superstition Mountains. He drew maps. He named landmarks. He described ore so rich a single shovelful could change a life. Then he was gone, and the mine was never confirmed found.
Six months. That is how long Adolph Ruth’s body was lost in those mountains in 1931 before searchers found his skull. A bullet hole drilled clean through it. His skeleton was found later, in a separate place. No murderer was ever named.
Since then, dozens of seekers have gone in and not come back. Some claim they found the mine and could not return to it. Others claim they were chased out by figures in the cliffs. The Apache called the range sacred long before Waltz arrived, and their warning was clear. Do not dig where the mountain does not want to be touched.
More lives lost than any single gold find in American history. Yet people keep going.
Could it be the mine is real, and something out there is making sure no one ever takes it? Or is the mountain just a mountain, and we keep mistaking accident for curse?

They told the tracker all he would find is his tombstone. But he kept looking and found gold. He named the town tombstone and legend is historical fact.
I think that Dan and Matt need a road trip????
