Goldfield Ghost Town

We were able to spend some time with friends of ours, Garth and Richelle, when they were down here in Arizona. We decided to take them to see Goldfield Ghost Town , a mining town from the turn of the century (1900). Although Shane and I have been there a number of times, we had yet to take the train tour, go in the mine tour, or even see the gunfights! It was a lot of fun to be able to share this with Garth and Richelle!

Here is the train as it came into the station...


Eva has come to like trains (in part by her soon-to-be-Uncle Shane giving her the book The Little Engine That Could). So she was really excited waiting for the train...


Here we all are on the train - alright, I am missing, but someone had to take the picture!


This is the town with the Superstition Mountain in the background...


Now we are coming into the station...


Eva was a little leery of this "man"... : )


It was an absolutely beautiful day - we couldn't have asked for a better January day and the view is always amazing!
