Fence could've use a fresh coat, and weeds'll be a sproutin'.

There has been some thought of taking along some paint for the fence. We might have a few extra seats for passengers. Give me a call or email. Is there anyone who has "custody" of the grave site? Such as Janet's husband? I have suggested to our club, the Honeywell 4×4 club, that we go out there and take a look at the grave site.

My husband's mother and father visited many years ago with the help of a local rancher. Let me know if you plan another trip out to the site. We would love to go along.

How would I contact your tour guides to do so? I think this would be a great day run as well! Thanks! I am interested in putting together a Halloween run for the kids and families.

If you expand the geography by a few mile miles to the north, east and south, you would define a principal area of prospecting and pioneer ranching that began in the 1860's and ended in 1940. Some of these areas had extensive goat ranching from the 1880's until the 1920's, and several small settlements developed near these sites. When you factor in the stage coach routes near Constellation Road, you simply multiply the opportunities to visit and research our history. As stated in a few of my articles on the web site, "if there was a mine, there was almost certainly a cemetery nearby." This holds true for every mine that you pass along Constellation Road. Although some of these cemeteries are on patented (private) land, and are generally unpublished on the APCRP web site, there are many others on State Trust and BLM land. The area surrounding Constellation Road contains one of the richest areas of pioneer heritage in Arizona! Martin:
