The Superstition Mountain Lost Dutchman Museum


The Lost Dutchman and his beautiful Apache Maiden

Last fall in Tucson, we discovered the works of Ted DeGrazia. Last weekend, we encountered his Superstition collection. He spent some time here, and like the Lost Dutchman a century before, he roamed the Superstition Mountain.

The Apacheland Ranch Studio and the Superstition Mountains. The Studio hosted many movies and stars back in the old days. Destroyed in 2004, it was rebuilt near the Museum.



Goldfield Ghost Town. Former gold mine town turned into a tourist attraction set at the foot of the Superstition Mountain.

Nuts and Wheels



En route to the Orange Park. Once we were back, we had a yummy snack: mango, pineapple, banana smoothie with pecan nuts (picked at the farm by Susan, Mark and the kids at Camp Verde) and pistachios (like her Daddy, Eva loves pistachios), with a cup of chai tea - Susan has the best chai tea from Oregon. She always makes it when we come to visit.


Après l'effort, un peu de réconfort.





After those scientific experiments, we went in the garden to relax. While listening to Radio Magic, Eva took care of the garden and Mom picked some lettuce out of our vegetable garden.
