It was another busy day in the desert today.
We visited Goldfield, a mining town/ghost town/tourist attraction.
It was the location of the old Mammoth Mine, one of the richest gold mines in history.
We panned for gold (got a few nice garnets).
We went on the train tour (the only narrow gauge railroad still in use in Arizona).
We went on the mine tour (the original mine is flooded).
Tons of antique mining gear lying about.
Well worth the trip, and I would do it again.
