Goldfield Ghost Town
MFW: Warning: some information posted here may be contrived, fabricated, exaggerated, outright lies, … or attempted humor.
After The Mining Camp Restaurant Rose and I headed toward The Apache Trail … until I spotted a rather unusual looking venue called Goldfield Ghost Town. What the hell, I wanted to get some water anyway …
Seems somebody rounded up a bunch of old buildings, wagons, mining equipment etc. and built this Western Town. Turned out to be rather interesting and fun.
Goldfield Ghosttown has a A nice little gift shop and confectionery.

What’s the difference between a bordello and a brothel?
Answer: Who cares? (just kidding)

Behind the bordello I met Dutch, the town tarantula.
Somebody has definitely been feeding Dutch.
Below: Goldfield’s Boot Hill is also behind the bordello.
Think about it.
Not everybody dies with their boots on.

Twice.

Just sit at the bar.

This is great, I would love to go to places like this. Really like your finishing touches to the photos.
Thank you kindly! We did have quite a bit of fun there.
Your welcome,
We didn’t have those cool vultures and fortunately for my ailing heart, didn’t see any tarantulas or scorpions. Never would be soon enough to see them!
You know, I always wanted to see another rattlesnake. From a safe distance, of course. Nearly stepped on one at Sedona once – back in the 70’s. Just about to put my foot down … and there he was. That’s the only one I’ve seen.
Garry is TERRIFIED of snakes. I am TERRIFIED of spiders. If we’d seen either, I think we would have been on the next plane home!
