Ep. #120 Keyhole Sink, Parks, AZ
Trail Description This short trail will take you winding through a small canyon of young aspen trees. Towards the bottom of this well marked trail you will come up to a fence out of aspen logs.
The fence marks the entrance to the Keyhole Sink which is very lush, green and wet during monsoon season.
While we were there, the far wall had a quite strong waterfall which was filling the pond created by the 40 ft basaltic rock faces.

Petrified Forest National Park is a United States national park in Navajo and Apache counties in northeastern Arizona. Named for its large deposits of petrified wood, the fee area of the park covers about 230 square miles (600 square kilometers), encompassing semi-desert shrub steppe as well as highly eroded and colorful badlands. The park's headquarters is about 26 miles (42 km) east of Holbrook along Interstate 40 (I-40), which parallels the BNSF Railway's Southern Transcon, the Puerco River, and historic U.S. Route 66, all crossing the park roughly east–west. The site, the northern part of which extends into the Painted Desert, was declared a national monument in 1906 and a national park in 1962. About 800,000 people visit the park each year and take part in activities including sightseeing, photography, hiking, and backpacking.
Averaging about 5,400 feet (1,600 m) in elevation, the park has a dry windy climate with temperatures that vary from summer highs of about 100 °F (38 °C) to winter lows well below freezing. More than 400 species of plants, dominated by grasses such as bunchgrass, blue grama, and sacaton, are found in the park. Fauna include larger animals such as pronghorns, coyotes, and bobcats, many smaller animals, such as deer mice, snakes, lizards, seven kinds of amphibians, and more than 200 species of birds, some of which are permanent residents and many of which are migratory. About half of the park is designated wilderness.
The Petrified Forest is known for its fossils, especially fallen trees that lived in the Late Triassic Period, about 225 million years ago. The sediments containing the fossil logs are part of the widespread and colorful Chinle Formation, from which the Painted Desert gets its name. Beginning about 60 million years ago, the Colorado Plateau, of which the park is part, was pushed upward by tectonic forces and exposed to increased erosion. All of the park's rock layers above the Chinle, except geologically recent ones found in parts of the park, have been removed by wind and water. In addition to petrified logs, fossils found in the park have included Late Triassic ferns, cycads, ginkgoes, and many other plants as well as fauna including giant reptiles called phytosaurs, large amphibians, and early dinosaurs. Paleontologists have been unearthing and studying the park's fossils since the early 20th century.
The park's earliest human inhabitants arrived at least 8,000 years ago. By about 2,000 years ago, they were growing corn in the area and shortly thereafter building pit houses in what would become the park. Later inhabitants built above-ground dwellings called pueblos. Although a changing climate caused the last of the park's pueblos to be abandoned by about 1400 CE, more than 600 archeological sites, including petroglyphs, have been discovered in the park. In the 16th century, Spanish explorers visited the area, and by the mid-19th century a U.S. team had surveyed an east–west route through the area where the park is now located and noted the petrified wood. Later, roads and a railway followed similar routes and gave rise to tourism and, before the park was protected, to large-scale removal of fossils. Theft of petrified wood remains a problem in the 21st century.

The Legend of the Red Headed Giants
One day I am looking into the story of the Lovelock Giants and decide to call the Nevada State Museum. I speak with a Dr. Gene Hattori who is the curator of Anthropology at the musem. He tells me about the history of the Lovelock Giants and the confusion of the bones being at this museum. I later find out through converstation that Gene is a bigfoot enthusiast and had studied under Dr. Grover Krantz in the 70's. We have been talking now for a couple of years and I have visited him a few times. Dr. Hatorri was intrigued by some of the casts I brought with me on our first meeting and has been following my work ever since.
GHOST TOWN TRAILS: Brunckow's Cabin - Deadliest Cabin in Arizona
Brunckow's Cabin is considered to be the bloodiest cabin in Arizona history. Between 1860 and 1890, at least twenty-one people were killed there, many of whom are buried on site.
Brunckow's Cabin isn't really a ghost town, however a lot of history is contained within it's walls. Located about 200 yards south of the Charleston highway and a half mile east of the San Pedro River. An article in the Arizona Democrat on May 20, 1891 wrote: Many will tell you that the unquiet spirits of the departed ones want to revisit the glimpses of the moon and wander about the scene which witnesses their untimely taking off. The graves lie thick around the place.
The builder of the house was Fredrick Brunckow, a German mining engineer, who was murdered in 1860 and his body found in a mine shaft in the area. One version is that a gentleman named William Williams, one of the three Anglos among the several Mexicans at the camp, went to Fort Buchanan for supplies in September of 1860. When he returned after dark he discovered the gruesome remains of two of the Anglos in the cabin and Brunckow was found dead later in the mine. Some say they were killed by their employees.
The Tombstone Prospector on May 20, 1897, said that in the early days the Brunckow mine was the scene of much excitement, shootings, and dissension among the owners. One man was supposed to have been shot and thrown into a well but as there were abundant men in those days an investigation seemed needless.
Brunckow, well-educated, emigrated to the U.S. in 1850. He joined the Sonora Exploring and Mining Co., and worked in explorations in the Tubac area. He developed his San Pedro Silver Mine a short distance from the river.
The fireplace of this cabin is where Ed Schieffelin melted and assayed the ore from the mines that were later to bring Tombstone into existence.
