I too have heard these "booms" several times while hiking the superstitions area. Most often they have sounded like a heavy truck driven over a long metal bridge.Other times they may sound like a low pitched crack of thunder, followed by a long echoing rumble.My own curosity has been satis...

Undoubtedly that fly,bee and mosquito infested hell-hole that I hiked on tuesday,but at least the lizards were happy with the menu. SH.

Didn't mean to spook anyone here,but I did find this general area to be interesting enough on a previous hiking trip that this trip found me spending the entire six days there.Although I do carry a gps with me,I rarely use it unless I feel that I might have trouble finding my way back.In this case I...
