I got a pretty good picture of Superstition Mountain as we were driving back from E.A.This mountain kinda has special meaning to me because when I was in second grade, one
day during recess I sat down on the steps of our Comb's School Elementery in Queen
Creek where we lived for 5 years from the time I was 5yrs.-10yrs. old & drew a picture
of the Superstition Mountain. My Second Grade teacher Mrs. Collet, was so impressed
with it that she mounted it on blue poster paper & put it up on the board & kept it there
all year. I wasn't expecting that & I remember it made me feel pretty good!!!! Grew
up seeing this mountain & we lived even closer to it than the grade school was. Now Ashley
has moved fairly close to it & I'm thinking, that's pretty cool, whodda' ever thought that
my little granddaughter Emmery would grow up close to the area I was partly raised in!!!!
We wanted to stop and see Ashley but she didn't answer her phone so thought she wasn't
home. Corrina & Tony say Comb's School is still there & live pretty close to it. Becky Dorn
said she ran across it one day when she took a wrong turn looking for Tony's home.
Looks like they put up an old round swing!! How fun! Reminds me of our Easter DayPicnics up the river in Colonia Juarez, Mexico. The whole ward would go on a big picnic up there, & they always had a big round swing over the river. Great fun for the teenagers. We
teenagers also, all rode our horses up the river to the picnic area together several
miles. They had easter egg hunts & games for the little ones & lots of yummy food for all!!
Fond memories!
This is one of the big ponds on the Cluff Ranch where the town folk used to holdbig outings. The Ash Creek runs through the Ranch. The Wildlife Preserve now
keeps it up & keeps it stocked with fish. Kelly said one of the pictures showed a
Catfish as big as a calf!!!! Huge!!! There's even a boat ramp into this pond.
The creek was running, I guess the snow off the mountain drains into it.
