Apache Kid Cave

Post by jameslcox44 »

While reading 'When Silver Was King', it mentions the Apache Kid and the Apache Kid Cave where he hid out in the Superstitions. It was supposedly 3 miles from Jim Bark's ranch. Would that be the same as the 'Wave Cave'? I can't think of any other large caves in the area. Anyone have any ideas?

They are the same, according to Jack Carlson.

@Dave1
Thank you Dave. I find some of the books I have been reading leave me a bit confused. I am just getting into a new book 'Treasure Tales of the Superstitions' by T.E.Glover. I should have followed Jack Carlson's book a little closer. Glad you cleared that up for me.

Hope you're healing up well James...Sounds like you're getting some Reading in. That's never a bad thing.... :)

The Apache Kid got around. Think he finally met his demise over in New Mexico.
