Viking Grave in Arizona? Mustang Mountains Rune Cave.

There was a story about an old English grave in the Mustang Mountains. America Unearthed did a TV show into the authenticity of it. Below is a link to that story if you are interested in the history.

I was told this was a Viking or Nordic grave. Being as "runes" are associated with Nordic or Germanic people, I went with the Viking theme.

I guess it doesn't really matter because it's all fake anyway.

I didn't find much information about the location of the cave. I'm sure if I spent more time, looking I could have found better directions. Instead I just pieced together the location based on landmarks I saw in the videos.

If you want to hike to the cave, here are the directions:

From the junction of junction SR90 & SR82 ("Mustang Corners"), travel 8 miles west toward Sonoita. You will see a gate on the south side of the higway, that follows the power lines south. That is the first of four gates you will go through. Follow the power line until you go through the fourth gate (approx. 3.5 miles). At that gate, go right (west) toward the mountains. The road will end at an open area, this is where you park. From there, head up the mountain, staying to your left. Once at the saddle, you will follow around the rock face to your right to the rune cave (approx. .25 miles).

It's about 3 miles =/- round trip.

Gate off SR 82: 31°43'16.93"N 110°28'48.94"W
Forth Gate: 31°40'47.29"N 110°27'11.48"W
Parking: 31°40'41.56"N 110°27'29.79"W
Midway Up the Trail: 31°40'21.46"N 110°27'45.32"W
The Rune Cave: 31°40'10.99"N 110°28'0.23"W

It is located on State Land, so you are technically required to have a State Land Usage Pass:
