I just recently read an article about a trail that runs through historic old town Pinal complete with ruins of run down buildings and other artifacts. I can't seem to find the link or any more info. on it. Does anybody have any idea of what I'm talking about? The article mentioned that folks were going to be restoring some old buildings...

It's a ghost town. The buildings only appear when it pleases them.

I'm amazed I haven't been out there after being so intrigued first reading and seeing photos in T.E. Glover's book.

Very familar with the area, only foundations remain. At one time one of the largest city in Pinal County.
