I took my family to the Goldfield Ghost Town out in Apache Junction, its touristy

Some people think I'm old, but I remember when that "ghost" town wasn't there.

I knew when I posted that, it would bring you out of the woodwork. And by the way, I lost my Denny's senior card in the G-string of a stripper. It was my way of telling her to retire......

Exploring ghost towns was one of the reasons I got the FJC or at least one of my excuses for my impulse buy.
Someone put a run up to start hitting these places...Whoever knows of a place then pick a day and let's make it happen
If anyone can give some general directions then we can start playing with google earth and searching for cool stuff

I wouldn't say old, but more that you have a great memory.


And my wife and I are a 100% show for ghost town runs. We're still stock though, so no going down to Martinez or Silver Bell Mines for me just yet.


Coke ovens are still open too.

Copper Creek was a small (~200 people) mining camp in the late 1800s into 1900s. Today it is located on private land and closed to the public. However I know the rancher who owns this land; it may be possible to arrange a trip with 4 or 5 vehicles. Many people believe the Post Office was located at the Copper Creek sign, however it was located several miles to the northeast of that location. I have been researching this area for several years. Its history is colorful!









I aquired this stock certificate last year. Dated 1908.

Lets do this.A good family showing might make the land owner more comfortable in letting the FJ group make the trip again in the future.
