    I wanted to clarify a couple points in my email regarding
    rockhunting. Roseann's post made me realize this was an important
    part of the conversation I forgot to mention, as I was more caught up
    in the memories of the beauty and allure of the land. 

    Regarding NO TRESSPASSING signs, it is something you ALWAYS obey!
    Maybe my writing was misinterpreted.  When we were kicked out, it
    was in an area with NO "No Tresspassing" sign. 

    Ten years ago, when I first arrived in Tucson, I was taken around to
    these different areas by someone who had maps, who has always been
    very respectful of private property.  In our explorations, as curious
    as we were sometimes, we NEVER went into areas that were marked
    private. 

    There are also many ranches that sometimes you can through in order
    to gain access to a public road, but once again, we never considered
    getting out on private property. 

    Roseann brought up some excellent points, which I would like to back
    up. 

    Patagonia area IS prime drug smuggling area, and you should be
    cautious.  It IS important to be respectful, and knowledgable (and
    armed with maps and common sense).
