Jan 22 -Goldfield Ghost Town


Goldfield, just outside of Apache Junction, AZ is a commercialized ghost town a short drive from Phoenix.  They give tours of the abandoned gold mine, have a train you can ride around the town with a guide as well as a number of shops. The tours were educational, the food was good at the saloon and the Mystery House was a lot of fun.

We asked the train engineer for a tour of the locomotive. He replied " Ah s'pose ah could"
