    Your T-shirt brought back some neat memories, Andrea. My daughter Karla had a road kill Cafe T-shirt and it read, "you kill it-we'll kill it on the other side. Karla wore it to Powers Elementry School. She's 42 now.

    What a great discovery!!! I loved the rock wall building. The ceiling was so cool. House on the barrels was really a treat! That stove an kitchen sink were so nice. I've never seen a sink like that an it was pink. Everything was pink. Must have been a pink paint sale. Thanks i loved that place. Sorry about a message i sent. I told my finger to behave! Not sure what it was because theres a slight possibility i was drinking whiskey. Have a wonderful day. Might be 80 in Indiana today. I spent 225 on flowers and almost got them all planted. I have 90 pots. I'm trying to get down to 70 but it doesn't seem to be happening.

    An interesting camp apparently used by several generations of hopeful miners or hermits surviving in the wild desert. That house on barrels is interesting and I wonder if it is set up high because of rain runoff that would pool in that area. Such a big mill for a small operation. One would have to go into old County records to see if there were any permits.

      I've been to old mine sites and prospects here in AZ and when I take someone else back half the stuff left was missing. This got real bad few years back with iron scavengers/looters when iron scrap recycle price was high would come in and take everything metal they could haul off. One site here had a windmill and someone came in with a torch and stole the whole windmill! They just cut it down, cut it up and hauled it away.

    Each separate mining session would have been a new group of hopeful people trying to pull money out of the ground. Some would have no idea of the cost per day to survive out there or the daily mineral yield of the mine. Sometimes the mine would empty of metal sometimes the metal price would fail, sometimes people simply got too old or broken to mine and left for town. As the price of gold (especially) rises old mines may become financially viable again and again, then sink into costing more to operate than the metal value again.
    Probably the scarcity of clean water was a limiting feature.

      Did you know that the term lue or loo means love in Scottish.
      Not the same as going to the loo meaning toilet. Which comes from the French phrase 'guardez l'eau', which means 'watch out for the water'. The chambermaids would shout it out as they threw the contents of the bedpans out of the window. True Story.
