Visiting a ghost town (Goldfield)

without comments

Another gorgeous weekend in Arizona!

Yesterday was devoted to errands… first, we got the oil changed in my van, and while we were waiting, I snapped this lovely shot. :-)

Also, I ordered a new pair of prescription sunglasses that are oh-so-cool and superflattering Guccis. I can’t wait until the come in!

Today we spent the afternoon in Goldfield – a restored ghost town (read: tourist trap) just east of Apache Junction in the Superstition foothills.

We had an early dinner in the Saloon, checked out the live reptile exhibit, had some ice cream and rode a narrow gauge train. Oh, and we saw a gunfight!

Funny little touristy experience that is only about 20 minutes from our house. We’ll go back sometime for the goldmine tours and maybe a trail ride…

Of course, some pix!
