Description
 
FIVE BEHIVE OVENS THE SIZE OF SMALL APPARTMENTS STAND ALONE IN THE DESERT EAST OF FLORENCE. THERE IS QUITE A DEBATE AS TO WHO BUILT THEM AND WHEN. THE AMOUNT OF WOOD TO FIRE THEM WOULD STRIPPED THE AREA OF ALL SIZABLE TREES IN A VERY SHORT TIME. WHO BUILT THEM? AND WHY? WAS IT GOLD? AND SILVER THEY WERE REFINING? IF SO, WHERE DID IT GO? ONE THEORY IS THEY WERE PRODUCING COKE (A PRODUCT OF CHARCOAL NOT THE DRUG OR SODA DRINK). ONE OF THE MYSTERIES OF ARIZONA. YOU WILL NEED A GOOD 4 WHEEL DRIVE FOR THIS ONE! YOU WILL GET 3 TOPOMAPS SHOWING ACCESS TRAILS AND THE LOCATION, THE GPS POINTS FOR THE OVENS, AND THE TRAILS MARKED WITH GPS POINTS TO GET YOU THERE. THIS PACKAGE IS IN PDF FORMAT AND CAN BE VIEWED USING ADOBE ACROBAT READER OR ANY OTHER PDF READER. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD FREE ADOBE PDF READER Please keep in mind that you still have to ask permission to enter private land ( PROPERTY BOUNDRIES CHANGE SOMETIMES), and you must still obey all laws, rules and regualations. Be a good sportsman. GPS POINTS LISTED CAN BE PLUGGED INTO GOOGLE EARTH AND VIEWED FROM SPACE. This will give you a good idea of the location of trails and points if your hand held unit does not have a topographic map feature.
