Tied up like a common junkyard dog, this little

A cool place my folks stumbled into about 20
miles from Wickenburg, AZ (of Vulture Mine fame) on Highwat 71.
Lots of old iron collected..kinda' touristy, but still quaint. |
 |
|
The place is butted up against the foothills
and is miles from a phone or power line. Hence, 4 generators
and solar cells supply power. This Witte Diesel thumped the whole
time I was there. They have a bed and breakfast with 20 or so
rooms. Not fancy, but great as an escape from the suburban rush. |
 |
|
A Fairbanks semi diesel from one of the local
mines in AZ, |

|
Some nice big iron with a Foos, Fairbanks and
others. In all about 40-50 engines on site. |
 |
|
A clever Model T engine and New Way engine compressor
rig... |

Some of the ore bins up from the mine shaft.
Note the mounts for engines. Some steam engines were also on
site. |
