To begin with, I’m going to keep my writing short and sweet, because the best part of this post will certainly be the pictures. We went west again for the holiday season to visit the in-laws. Of course, new trip of hours would be complete if we didn’t go to see some abandoned and cool stuff. We traveled into Las Vegas, Nevada and after a night at Circus Circus we ventured into the desert. It has always been a passion and dream of mine to travel through the Mohave desert, and so we did it. Our first stop was seven Magic Mountain‘sWhich is an art installation of seven totem style boulder structures with multiple bright colors smack dab in the middle of the desert. We continued on our travels, coming across an abandoned mine, that we were unable to get into, and some other various structures. We also found a Japanese internment camp, which was one of the listings we’ve ever seen. I know that it is a sad part of our country‘s history, and the fact that it still stands is a lesson for us all terms of tolerance and kindness towards others.
i’m finally arrived in Tucson, spend the next couple days sitting in the sun join. Then, of course, we were off to see more things. Our first day of exploring took us to a couple take missile silo that work at the ending. Turns out, we’ve been to the museum which is a little bit south of Tucson however, We found several other sites which held the missiles, but we’re not turned into the museum. Instead they were sealed off and left in the desert. We of course found them, explore them, and then back to the pool.
another adventure Jay took us on one of our best interest yet. We travel down south to the Coronado national forest. Driving on a washboard road, we were able to find the Mowry Mine. Fighting it was the most awesome thing we have done in a long time. We had to hike through the desert and the forest without any GPS because we had no service. We actually got to what was once a road, so we knew we were on the right path. Climbing uphill on rocks, we got to the top of the hill. We actually had thought we had found nothing, turned around, and behind the garage was a remaining building of the mine. It was an awesome explanation.
our last expiration date took us north. We actually sent off to find the satellite calibration target, but ended up signing so much more. We found this really cool old three cylinder engine in the middle of the field, then the calibration target, and then we ended up exploring the Cassa Grand downs yet again. The cool part about all of our findings were that they really were off the map, and that the targets are plentiful in the area. We actually found several of them, but only stopped at the one in which we took pictures. The downs or stop we made a few years back, but we went back because we could see them in the distance from the target. One of the gyms in which we explored was collapsed, which was a very psyched to see the open blue sky through these dark and dank downs.
all in all this was one of the most amazing trips ever taken, explored so much, north and south, east and west. Enjoy all of the photos
