| no partners | | Nice to get out after several weekends of odds and ends, fighting a cold, and rehabbing a photo printer to print out some of my pics, and not to forget the Tucson Gem and Mineral show.
Started out at the newish TH and hiked up the decommissioned railroad bed then started exploring in general at the old millsite, interesting slag, then along the petroglyph site. Did some off trail in the area then hiked thru the "narrows" then back along the river bottom. This would be nice when the cottonwoods are in full glory. Located the old Charleston site then spent some time in the brush looking for remains. The adobe walls are scattered but gives you some idea as to the size of this place, I thought quite a bit remained, seeing as the town was destroyed by a large earthquake in 1887.
Here is a link with some fairly good info:

Pics are not very good but will post as seemingly not a lot of photo coverage of this area. |
