The town was once a mining community with the ingenious goal of combing multiple mining towns into one. The smelter was used for only a few years before bankrupts and epidemics hit hard and it was closed by the early 30th century.
Now the walls are crumbling and the area is very littered. Lots of shotgun shells and debris litter the grounds. Lots of glues and bees too watch yourself when inside the buildings. However, even cooler than the ruins was very low flying Chinook helicopter!!! It was so low and so cool. What a day?!? Arizona, you never disappoint.
