Mary Ann and Glenn returned for another week. Their final day we went to the Superstition Mountain Museum and to Lost Dutchman State Park for a volunteer-led sunset hike.
The outdoor displays included this stagecoach replica.
This is the Elvis Chapel. It's one of two buildings that have survived from the original Apacheland where many movies were made. Anyone remember "Charro"?
This diorama on display in the museum shows all the Apacheland buildings as they existed. You can see the Elvis Chapel and the barn.
The barn in the rear is the only other building from Apacheland to survive. Several actors have been hung from this gallows - but only in the movies.
Glenn checking out the 20-stamp mill which is being restored to working condition.
With play acting like this perhaps we four should make our own movie? Okay, maybe not.
Next stop was Goldfield Ghost Town. This is a fun tourist attraction on the site of the original Goldfield mining town.
The bordello
Superstition Mountain at Lost Dutchman State Park was out next stop for the sunset hike.
The formation in the center is "Praying Hands"
As we hike the sun gets lower, the shadows become longer and the color of the mountain changes.
What a nice last day with friends. Thanks for visiting with us, Mary Ann and Glenn!
