Remedial Geography Lesson

[Chief Oshkosh]

I'm a greenhorn in need of a serious LDM geography lesson. I'm hoping someone will take pity on an old Menominee and help me out.

As I am totally green, I will ask these questions in separate posts so as not to confuse my simple mind...

I've never been in the Superstitions but I have the big four topos (Goldfield, Weaver's Needle, Horse Mesa and Mormon Flat). I've been reading old posts here and I'm lost as to some of the locations they mention.

First is Squaw Canyon. There's a guy that refers to Squaw Canyon and Squaw Valley and someone else says "Old Squaw Canyon" and the first guy says Squaw Valley is Old Squaw Canyon. I assume that Old Squaw Canyon isn't the same as the one named "Squaw Canyon" on the topo. My greenhorn intellect says that Old Squaw Canyon must be either the one to the north or the one to the south. Can someone help me? Where is Old Squaw Canyon? (Although I really don't know why I'd want to know where a canyon with old squaws is. Hell I have an old squaw at home that I can't get rid of...)

Maybe the injuns here arent as dum as you think...hell most of us knew who you were from your 1st post.....give it a rest pal.

Now, Peter.....

Mr. Chief has been very well behaved, and impeccably respectful. Are you saying he's a wolf in sheep's clothing If that were true, shouldn't he (shortly) be savaging the flock?

Respectfully,

Mr TGH

I don't know what I've done to piss you off or who you think I am. I was just trying to discuss some topics related to the Lost Dutchman Mine and add a little humor. Since my posts seem to anger a long time member to the extent that he feels the need to tell me that "hell most of us knew who you were from your 1st post" and to "give it a rest pal" then it's quite obvious that at least one member here no longer wants me to participate in this forum. Is this the majority opinion? If it is then Chief will post no more. Chief can take'm hint.

If it does prove to be the majority opinion let me say first that I have appreciated the critique of my somewhat ignorant opinions from others here who are far more knowlegable than me and were kind enough to voice their opinions. Thank you.
