Billy first set foot on the Apache Trail in the summer of 1966. He has spent years exploring the surrounding territory. In the early to mid-seventies, he was involved with certain individuals who searched for the Lost Dutchman Gold. These included the late Robert S. Jacobs, also known as Crazy Jake, and Al Morrow. His time in the Superstition Mountains included months of exploration on horseback and on foot. He worked with the Native American people throughout Arizona. This provided him with the opportunity to become familiar with certain cultural and spiritual aspects of some Native American tribes and the lands they hold sacred.
