After our friends from Boring Oregon,
Tim and Judy arrived from Tuscon, we decided a day of sightseeing was in order. We drove out north east of Apache Junction AZ to a small ghost mining town, Goldfield, and began with a train ride around the camp.
We could see the mule train path that went back into the hills to the mines. The museum had many relics of the day.
Leaving the museum we wandered on up the street taking in much more,
including the inside of the Saloon, after listening to a singer/yodeler on the back deck. The Saloon had many more relics as well as boots left over the years for display. We noticed a pair of boots left by someone from Stow, Ohio and many with soles worn through!!
After leaving the town, we drove on east for a few more miles, enjoying the scenery including the natural auto dump and Apache Lake. Tim and Judy enjoyed the scenery, as we always do also. This is awesome country!!
We would settle in this part of the country in a minute, but it is too far away from family.
While we make many friends that fills in the time, we do miss what is going on back home.
We will also have some more excursions out with our visitors, so check back in with us.
