I remember being there and some old caretaker showing us where the roof of the mine had caved in because the made-of-gold support beams had been chiseled away by greedy miners. Nice area of Arizona too...remember hiking the area near there and the Hassayumpa River. I like your exploration of the Ghost Towns. Nice Series :) Can't wait to see more of your adventures. Makes me miss Arizona in the worst way, and some of my own explorations, not only to the ghost towns, but the edges of 'civilization' in my home state. Keep it up Bostrom!

He told us many stories of the place and took us to some of the shafts. later in te late 80's I went and was chased off buy a less friendly guy with a shotgun and two big dogs. I guess now it is open to the public again that's great.

Some beautiful pix. I do remember how much you love your own home state, and it shows in the pix. Thanks Barry Goldwater!
