Senner

Post by count »

Here's something we haven't talked about: Al Senner's gold up on Superstition Mountain. As I recall (and it's been a while since I read Corbin's book and Kollenborn's manuscript), Tom K. and Bob Corbin had a map to Senner's stash locations, but turned up empty-handed. The theory was that Senner died taking his gold out of the mountain, but no gold was found with his body. <br>I may have some details wrong, but since the map ended up being worthless, is there any possibility of Tom posting it on this site so we can look at it? I don't expect to find gold, but I would like to visit the locations and absorb the historic vibes. <br> <br>Anyone know more about this?

I haven't looked at that book in a long time. I always planned on trying to find the grave site shown on the topo map in the book, but I don't live in Az anymore and haven't been up to the Flatiron in quite a while. Its only a few hours hike up there from Lost Dutchman State Park, so I figured there would be lots of people over the years combing the area up on top. <br> <br>Have you been to the grave site shown on the map?

No. I've only been in that area twice. Once was a day hike before I read the book, so I didn't know. The second time was at the tail end of the Superstition Ridge Line hike, and I was barely able to move by the time I got to the area so (not to mention I was out of water) so my motivation level was low. But I figure on going back up the west end pretty soon here, or maybe straight up Flatiron Canyon or whatever name it is. <br> <br>You should move back and be near the action, senor!
