SKULL CAVE
NOTE: NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH BROWN’S CAVE, APACHE CAVE, OR SKELETON CAVE.
HISTORY: Many people have confused Skull Cave with Brown’s Cave and Apache Cave. Actually there are just two caves. Skull Cave is a distinct and different cave, where Brown’s Cave and Apache Cave are one and the same. You will need to refer to those caves to obtain their history.
Skull cave was named so because of the many skeletons that were found in the cave when it was discovered by Jim Barkley back in the early 1900’s. The cave also contained numerous war clubs.
There is no established trail to the cave, but we have mapped out what we think to be the best route to the area. You will need a good 4 wheel drive and will have to hike about 6 miles. The very last part is over some very rough and steep terraine. Please be careful and safe. There is another route if you have a boat. We have marked the map where you can dock the boat and hike about 1 mile to the cave from the lake.
WHAT YOU GET IN THIS PACKAGE IS TWO TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS, GENERAL TRAVEL INSTRUCTIONS, AND THE GPS POINTS OF THE CAVE, THE ROUTE TO THE CAVE, AND A BOAT DOCKING GPS POINT.

Barry Storm was one of the early, well known Lost Dutchman Gold Mine researchers and field experts. He even stared in a movie produced by Columbia Pictures called LUST FOR GOLD. On the 27th of March, 1940 Barry received the assay results on a piece of float ore which he located in the Superstition Mountains a few weeks earlier. The assay reported to be 28.64 ounces of gold for a total of $1002.40. (Gold was at $35 and ounce at that time).
After some very extensive research and some very expensive maping software, I was able to obtain the GPS location of where that gold sample was found. Of course, they did not have GPS back then, but Barry recorded his finds on topo maps. The degree of accuracy in the offered GPS point depends greatly on how accurate Mr Storm was when he made his maps. The point won't be exact, but it will get you into the right area. My estimations is +/- 100 yards or closer. The Superstition Mountains are still dangerous! Please go prepared with plenty of water, provisions, and proper equipment. This area is within the Superstition Mountain Wilderness area. You may not treasure trove or prospect the area without US Forest Service clearence. Please be safe and legal. WHAT YOU GET IN THIS PACKAGE IS THE GPS POINTS, GENERAL TRAVEL INSTRUCTIONS AND A FULL COLOR TOPOGRAPHIC MAP SHOWING THE DATA.
What you will get is the actual Global Positioning Satellite Sustem (GPS) coordinates of this site in Latitude and Longitude. I will email the coordinates to you along with a 1:24,000 scale full color topo map centered on the site in a .JPG picture format which will allow you to print your own map. The trail to the site is on the map! I will also send you general travel instructions to the trailhead. THIS PACKAGE IS IN PDF FORMAT AND YOU CAN VIEW IT USING ADOBE READER OR ANY OTHER PDF READER.
