Well, we've come to our last day. We've seen a lot, driven a lot and enjoyed a lot. Not much else to do so we decided to visit an rebuilt gold mine town. In the hey day the town was a thriving community with 3 saloons, a meat market, general store, blacksmith shop and school house.
The original town burned down except for 2 buildings. It has been rebuilt very close to the original.
It was very well done ghost town.
We took a tour of the gold mine. Miners had a very tough life. Working under ground with only a few candles to light the tunnel. And most of them died either from an accident in the mine or a slow agonizing death from lung disease because of the dust.
Maryann even got a couple of ideas for some income during retirement.
We dropped into the saloon for a beer and snack then back to the pool to relax for our final day in Arizona and enjoy a beautiful southern sunset.
Back home to start planning out next vacation to Newfoundland to visit my son and daughter-in-law this summer.
TTFN
