Rusty

Jerome, Arizona - This old car is sitting outside of the hotel in Jerome. It has not gone anywhere in a while. To bad. It would be a great prize for a collector to restore.

Asylum

Jerome, Arizona - Here is the hunted hotel in Jerome. It is actually the former hospital for the mine. Apparetnly it is hunted. I have some friends who spent the night there. They did not notice anything unusual, but sometimes guest have spotted a lady in the halway that just was not all there.

Fire Station

Jerome, Arizona - Even a ghost town like Jerome needs some fire protection. I guess the ghosts get a little mischievous from time to time.

Goldmine

Jerome, Arizona - The Gold King Ghost Mine and Ghost Town was my primary target for this little expedition. It was mostly junk yard than old west ghost town. I did find some interesting photo opportunities though.

Rust bug

Danger

Junk

Jerome, Arizona - This scene is outside of one of the stores in Jerome, AZ. My wife and I did a little exploring in the old Ghost town one weekend. A lot of artist call this place home.

Desert Road

Jerome, Arizona - The open road of the desert. I cannot wait to get another Jeep so I can enjoy this place more. Driving through the desert with no roof and an oldies channel playing on the radio. Perfect.

Hi

Jerome, Arizona - If it a car or is it a truck? I have no idea. It just looked at me and said Hi.

Open

Jerome, Arizona - Well, it may be open 24 hours for a ghost town. Not much life left in this old building. The scary thing is, it is built on stilts.

Red Rocks

Jerome, Arizona - You can see out into the desert while we are walking back to Jerome. This is the middle desert. We are about a mile above see level. Very colorful.

Old tools

Jerome, Arizona - A lot of old tools lying around collecting rust.

Got to go!

Jerome, Arizona - I guess after retirement, this old Studebaker has a new purpose in life. To bad the rest rooms were not in as good of condition as the Studebaker.

Vice Grip

Jerome, Arizona - This old vice grip still works, even after decades in the hot Arizona sun.
