El Camino del Diablo

[dick ward 55]

El Camino del Diablo — a dirt road that cuts through 130 miles of saguaro-studded desert between Yuma and Ajo, Ariz. along the US-Mexico border.

This picture is of the grave of Dave O'Neill, a prospector who died along the trail in 1916.

Hi Frank,

No not there now, I haven’t been there for a long time.  My first time in the area was prospecting with my grandfather in 1957.   The last time was in the late 1970’s.  There is gold down there, on both sides, of the border.  Not much water ‘tho so take your BIGGEST canteen.
