"Michael,

Hello Klayton,
My name is Bart Landinger and you sent me a letter inquiring about an 80 acres I own near Hyder/Agua Caliente in western Maricopa County. You asked that I email you but there was no email address. I asked an old-timer in the area if he remembered you and he said he did remember your family. His name is Rubin Conde and he owns the little store and gas station in Sentinel. I had planned on drilling for water and planting date trees but got married to a pretty little Mexican lady instead and moved out of Los Angeles to Old Mexico (little town just south of Yuma). I grew up in Phoenix so like you, I really love the Sonoran Desert. I sent a letter to your Pearce, Arizona address. Anyhow, if you would like to chat you can call 714-658-3710 or email me at numis2@yahoo.com.
Be safe out there. I've done many dangerous things in my life and have been in some tough spots and very few things really scare me. Being at sea in a smaller craft scares the hell out of me. My hat off to you.
