Dstreaker, is that the old Butterfield stage route that headed for Prescott? We were there many years ago around 1984-85 starting at about Black Canyon City, then headed past Cleator and other ghost towns and ended up the day at Crown King. Had dinner and brews at the tavern, and camped up the road on a pull out. One of the most wonderful simple trips we ever had. We had a small Chevy Luv 4x4 with a new slide in pop up camper. It was cold outside but we were comfortable and had a 5" battery powered black and white tv to watch. Love that country.
I remember a copper mine along the way with towers and long gone cables with bucket carts that carried the ore down from the mine to the road area. I still have some ore someplace. Beautiful desert country.
