Hi everyone, I've been looking at the ATS boards for a long time but have never posted. I was just reading ths interesting story that was linked through www.forteantimes.com to this site HERE there are a number of myterious goings on in this story but what interested me the most was the section on 'Doorway to the Gods'. What do you guys think? I was wondering if any one had heard of this before or if anyone lived in the area? Look forwad to hearing what you all have to say!!

I've been looking at the story to see if there are any hints in it that might determine the location of the site. In the story he mentions that he is telling this story because the "Tucson Electric Power Company plans on building a 345,000-watt high-voltage transmission line from Tucson to Nogales" after searcing the internet I found the Tuscon Electric Power company's website which details the route the propsed line is going to take HERE. From other clues in the story he mentions that the site is located near a canyon. If you look on google earth the only area that this could be (according to the map and the fact that it should be near a canyon) is on the bottom section of the line in the mountainous area west of the river. Unfortunately as with all the areas you want to see on google they are either blocked out or of very poor resolution; in this case the area is of the latter.

Does any know where some good quality aerial photos can be found? Or anybody know the area?

Are you using Google maps or the Google Earth program? Sometimes one or the other will give a clearer map. Also, I've found that using Google maps and switching between map mode, satellite mode, and hybrid mode at different distance levels can eventually get you a good view.

I know this is rather an "Old" Topic Thread, but as I live in "Tu'c'son AZ." I thought I'd weigh in for some "Background" to help YOU understand Tucson AZ. K? Tucson is an ancient city started by the Anasazi Hohokam Indians who were farmers along a corridor basically between Tucson & Phoenix AZ.. There are many ruin cites from invasions believed from Mexicos' ancient Indians. This drove these peoples into the "Cliff Dwellings" in northern AZ. & into the mountains surrounding Tucson. Tucson sits in a "Bowel" shaped valley that slants from the S.E. down to the West edge of the Valley at the Base of the Tucson Mtns.. The Santa Catalina Mtns. are the North edge, the Rincon Mtns. are the East edge, the Santa Rita Mtns. are the Southern edge & theTucson Mtns. are the Western edge of the Valley. The Tucson Mtns. are the smallest of the group & it is here along the Eastern edge of the Mtns. that a Large "Wash" (dry river bed except during 'Monsoon Season') runs north towards Phoenix, AZ.. In 40+ years out here I have climbed every inch of these Mtns. around Tucson & it didn't take long to do the Tucson Mtns. as they are really very small. There used to be a Natural Lake to their East across from the "Rillito Wash" in what is now Downtown Tucson until an Earthquake apparently "Fractured" something underground draining it permanently. YOU speak of a "Canyon" that I'm sorry to say doesn't exist. The Tucson Mtns. kinda run E./W. & are Volcanic. This Entire Valley & Mtn. System is FILLED WITH MINERALS of All Types!!! We are world renowned for our Huge Copper Deposits & Mines to get to them. Our mining is "Open Pit" & the "Rare Earth Elements" dug up while after the "Copper", pay for all the Operations so the Copper is a "Bonus"!!! Due South of the Tucson Mtns. are Uranium & Copper Mines, due North a large "Flood Plane". So I'm sorry to say there is no "Canyon" in the area. As far as the Convergence lines etc. YOU may be right, there are certainly enough Minerals in the area, but "Red Rocks" north of Phoenix, AZ. is where more "Activity" occurs & is "Commercially Promoted" (Yanni @ the Red Rocks Concert?). This IS a "One of a Kind" place & if "Planned Out" YOU could spend years as I have here never seeing Everything!!! So come if YOU can & "Read Up" by Any Means Possible!!!

NOTE: I have been a Licensed Amateur Radio Operator by the F.C.C. for 38 years & have used the WELL ACCEPTED SPELLING of "U" (..- in C.W.) for the Word "YOU" BEFORE the "New TEXT Messaging Craze" had even been though of & find (as YOU do) many Abbreviations an Unacceptable Substitute for knowing how to SPELL!!! However the "U" Abbreviation IS Unmistakable & Saves Space. I guess another example of "One 'Bad Apple' Spoiling the WHOLE Barrel"???
