JEROME ARIZONA



When our friends, Ken and Mary arrived at Dead Horse, we all took a short trip up the mountain to a quaint ghost town. This town was originally started due to the copper mines in the area. It is now filled with galleries, wine shops and wonderful restaurants. The town was ready to close up when they re-invented themselves as and old copper ghost town. It worked and they are prospering. The town was packed with tourists. We also headed down the mountain a short distance to take in the sites at the local cemetary. We were told by the locals not to miss it. I was a bit dismayed to find it in such disrepair. We spent some time walking and fixing old wooden crosses that had fallen like the people below them.
