Who knows these Hoo Doos?

Anybody want to take a crack at the location of these 30' Tee Pee shaped Hoo Doos. Its my favorite day hike thats 1 hours drive from Prescott.
Clue: You can see two local wildernesses from here.

Wandering Skull Valley Ravines

A plethora of crystals like this Hexagonal Di Pyramidal Quartz Sceptor where found while hiking a side ravine next to a major wash in Skull Valley. More pictures at http://prescottstyle.blogspot.com/2008/12/skull-valley-crystal.html

Forest Road 97B to Jersey Lily Mine

97B is a great connector route to the backside of Maverick Mt. and beyond. Starting up at the Zero Mine turn off past Ponderosa Park, cross the Hassayampa at the low water crossing and proceed through till the 97b turn off on the right. This route flanks the western side of Maverick Mt. with awesome views of the Valleys that fold off this portion of the Bradshaws. Independent Springs has a good stand of Spruce trees. Once you get to the saddle turning left brings you up the south side of Maverick which we call the "Eiger Sanction" and on to Mnt.Tritle. Turning right brings you south to the Jersey Lily Mine, about a mile, and onto the Kirkland Junction on 89. Additional Information about the Jersey.

On one occasion we were riding through the Saddle when we realized that it was too icy to return on 97b and pressed onward to the south to lower warmer ground. We took a break at the Jersey Lily mine, this was way back, when it was still standing. The walls were blown out and it was listing seriously. Inside was a rusted pot belly stove, bed springs and misc. kitchen junk. Not much is there now, but is still worth a visit.

Williams Peak or Porter Mt. You go figure!

We hiked up what I have always called Williams Peak in the Sierra Prietas Sunday. The summit is covered up in burnt up blow downs making the headway difficult. There was a controlled burn there 2-3 years ago, it crowned and got away from them, subsequently it burnt the whole peak up.

Once on top, and after 10 minutes the original cache (soup can) was found. In another 10 minutes I located the more contemporary cache (glass jar.) No one has been there since 2006 judging by the entries in the caches.
Because the terrain is so dramaticly changed up there, I relocated the two separate caches to a common crack in the rocks by the Williams Peak Brass Cap. Its covered with a big rock now.

There are some very interesting logs in the cache dating to 1998. Some discuss the Prietas themselves, others are on the spiritual plane. You can leave a key fob or something inside. I left the fake 100 dollar bill back in 2006.

Now here is the grand dichotomy, There is a second brass cap a few feet away, and it is named Porter MT. The question of the day is.. When did the mountain change names?
Did a surveyor for the county/state place the wrong brass cap on Williams Peak?
