Who keeps leaving me these "Stone's"?
Things started changing in my life with a simple ride to Payson Az., and I just want to pull over and take a leak. My Parent's owned a rock shop next to Buckhorn Mineral Baths east of Mesa Az. called Mother Natures Rock Shop in early 1950. I loved the stones we sold , I could take my arms and submerge them in Apache Tears, Parodies, tumbled agates, it was like a healing feeling. We would travel all over the state and buy stones, Winslow, Holbrook, Williams, Globe Miami area, mining towns, to sell to the tourist who came to Az. for mineral baths from back east. I was rock hunting by age 3, I love my stones (aka God's stones). You could say I know a stone from a clod. Well, Dee T. and I pulled over near Rye Creek road, get out where it seems everybody pulls over (fences along road) and here's a large red Jasper stone, I look at Dee T. and she said, that must have been put there for you, everybody stops here, it would have been picked up. That was stone #1, stone #3, Was a much bigger story as it turns out. It was 16 stones. Dee T. and I went up to Hopi reservation to just see what is a Hopi for three days? We stayed at Keams Canyon lodge room 21, turns out, me and my nephew wire the place as it was a modular unit build in Phoenix Az. buy a friend Sonny P., (small world). Day 2, I decide to take drive to east up on ridge line so I can see Hopi reservation looking west. I just felt at home on Hopi land, slept like a baby, Dee T. didn't, could not wait to get off res.. I pull off the main road , up a little dirt road (sand), pulled over stepped out of truck and under my feet were these 16 round stones that looked out of place, I mean nothing around. I started to pick them up Dee T. starts screaming this place is sacred don't touch them, I yelled back the whole world is sacred. This stones set in my closet for 7-8 years, decided to put in safe deposit box. Showed to friend he said they were meteorites, worth fortune, not trusting him, I took to a geologist, he told me that they were Mookie Balls and asked me where I found them, I said Keams Canyon, he said someone put them there, i said half joking, who the aliens. He was puzzled, after three days he called and said they had to be used by Hopi schuman. Called back and said, then why were they just laying out there unprotected, he said may be there your's. Stone #2, as I said stone # 2 was found near Barry Goldwater's home. While doing work next to B.G. home Jerome a Navajo hit a water line that didn't break, but I realized I didn't know how to turn water off, in a mad search , I better know how to turn water off there it was. How I found it's home is later. bye #5
