We had a lovely day out today with Reink, Lona and Edla, as we all went out to the Historic Castle Dome Mine just northeast of Yuma. This whole area was very rich in silver, there were many mines in the area.
The fellow who is creating the recreation is doing an excellent job and has been gathering everything he could get that has been abandoned from around the area.
He has made a small townsite of the remains, even though initially it was spread out over 10 miles.
Here is Ron, trying to get a drink out of the bartender.
Look here are some tea towels just like the ones my grannie made for me.
The church and behind it Castle Mountain.
This is the picture when you look through the window in the church, isn't it wonderful.
Ron found some young boys working an old grinding wheel so he decided to put them to work and sharpened his pocket knife.
Look at the size of that saguaro
Lona and her mother Edla, Edla has come all the way from Saskatchewan to visit for awhile.
We had ourselves a picnic and then went for happy hour at Lyle and Carol's new place in the Foothills.
Great day.
