New here first of all.
Here's a weird story from a local publication that I found interesting:

I've been in the back country of Arivaca, but don't recall anything described such as an arch.

Fascinating story! I wasn't aware of this place in Arivaca, but it sure sounds like another 'mystery spot', similar to others around the country. I think there very well could be some sort of portal there. I know Sedona has some natural energy vorticies, although I've not been to any of them, I have been to one of the Anasazi Indian ruins. However, all of Sedona (and Oak Creek) seems to have an unusual - and peaceful - aura about it. Time seems to stand still when I'm there. =)
Interestingly, both Arivaca and Sedona are rich in Indian and Spanish history. Well, much of Arizona does!![[Big Grin]](biggrin2.gif)
Thanks for sharing the story - I enjoyed it!

Now, that one is an interesting story! And, I think I am with the writer on this one.... this place has something definitely 'not of this time'. I think that these men did indeed find something that was powerful in a strange and unknown way. Until someone can prove it doesn't exist, in my gut, I feel that these guys are telling the truth here.
Thanks for the great story link, Ghostdancer! That was terrific!!! It sure has the makings of a good story for nights around a campfire, too. I seriously wonder if those enormous crystal deposits in the area (including the big geodes and possibly even more crystals beneath the surface) might hold a key to the riddle of the powers of the area? Crystals are powerful in many different ways.
This reminds me of something that my husband and I witnessed years ago right here in Phoenix, and others were there saw it when we did, but we never were able to find out what it was. It didn't alter time, or anything. But it was just absolutely unbelievable. We were at Squaw Peak Park (recently renamed Piestewa Peak), and it was well after dark. We were in a paved parking area where many people park for picnics or hiking the Peak. The area is typical Phoenix desert, rocky and covered with greasewood, mesquite, cactus and a few grasses & weeds. In an area right next to the parking lot was kind of a small bare area on the ground, not more than about 6-8 feet across. It looked natural, and not like someone had cleared it. All of a sudden, a blue, flame-like thing appeared in that bare spot, glowing blue, and with a kind of movement like a flame. It was about 1.5 to 2 feet tall, and we stood there, dumbfounded, with a handful of other people looking on with the same fascination. This flame remained there for quite a time... several minutes, at least, and then it just went out. We walked closer to the bare spot, with just light from a couple of flashlights, and the soil was warm, and a couple of nearby bushes were a little scorched, but didn't catch fire. What on earth was this??? Well, as far as I know, the only swamp in Arizona is in the SE corner of the state.... so I hardly think this was swamp gas. There would be no reason for natural gas to be piped into the area or under that mountain. To my knowledge, there are no natural gas wells in Arizona. This area was miles and miles from the nearest landfill, or city dump. So, what caused this 'flame', what was the fuel, and what ignited it? We have never yet come up with any answers on this one, either. But, we saw it with our own eyes, and felt the warmed earth after it 'went out'.
This arch in Arivaca seems like a similar experience, in that the people who saw it know that they weren't crazy at the time... but the story sounds so crazy when it is told to those who weren't there.
