[edit] GFDL Photo

Perhaps someone in the Tucson area could obtain a decent quality photograph of this to post to the page, instead of merely providing a link? Dr. Cash 01:37, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I hope so! I'd love for this page to get lots of local input. Archivizt 01:51, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More info, please

I lived in Tucson for several years, and this is one of my favorite sites. I recall the Weekly had a write up on it once in 1999 or 2000. This write up included several interesting facts, an English translation of the name, and the story of the site. If someone in the Tucson area could find this source, that would be great. As I recall, The name means "little castaway," it is the location of the finding of a jilted lovers remains after his having been rather brutally murdered and disassembled, and it is the only "sinner's shrine" in North America. This last piece of information is most interesting. If I have a nopportunity to look for sources, I will.--Smallwhitelight 18:02, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
