| no partners | | I was hoping to see this or better --http://hikearizona.com/photoset.php?ID=17541; however it seemed for some of it I was late or early. Pretty nice tho and as I tired of the stream I visited the extensive mesquite hidden site of Charleston, then went "glyph" hunting. The ones on the other side of the river are better. From a ghost town website--
"Charleston's post office was established April 17, 1879 and was discontinued October 24, 1888. Charleston was the milltown for nearby Tombstone. When the mines in Tombstone flooded, work stopped in Charleston. By 1899, Charleston was already a ghost town. Charleston has been used as a battleground for war games many times over the years. Much of the town has been destroyed through these games. Jim Burnett, Charleston's Justice of the Peace was rumored to run his court house "his way". He decided what fines to charge offenders with and all proceeds went directly to his pocket. What is left of Charleston is severally hidden among thick mesquite bushes today."
Walked back on the old railroad bed looking at slag. Might return next Sat early, as more trees might be turned and hopefully will still have some leaves with all this wind. |
