Ghost Towns Guest Book
Vulture City Arizona 1 Townsite - Ghost town
After taking over 300 photos it was hard to sort these down to a few for the web page. Plenty to see in this ghost town. It is not a freebie as the caretaker charges to tour the site. Very enjoyable and for those of you in AZ you should certainly visit the site. I suggest waiting till it cools off a little.
See if you can find the "Pink" rattlesnake I almost stepped on when I tried to get into one of the buildings.
See if you can find the ironwood "Hanging Tree". Supposedly 19 men were hung from the tree. Numerous holdups, robberies etc took place with gold shipments. Wells Fargo even suspended picking up the gold and hauling it out because their losses were so heavy. Named after the vultures that help Henry find the mine. Too bad he lost it all and ended up blowing his brains out broke and destitute.
