Colin, I posted this one years ago. 
I went to PC with Trey's girlfriend. She had some good hiking stories. Look him up on the AZRepublic site, they did a feature on him a while back.

| His book, Faded Contrails is very good. I appreciate that he does not disclose specific locations. |

Nice site Colin-
You know, there's a helicopter wreck at Fremont Saddle on Mt. Humphreys along the Weatherford Trail that I still wonder about. Here's a pic of part of the rotor:

I've gotten a few sketchy credibility and unsubstantiated explanations but nothing definitive. Anybody know anything about this? One story goes that it is a downed chopper that crashed while trying a rescue along the trail in winter. The rotor hit a tree and... Another is that it is a military aircraft that suffered some in-flight malfunction and just went down on the trail. Interesting.
