May 30 Tugizoot Pictures and Jerome Arizona

Hi All, Trying again to get the pictures up, of Tugizoot and Jerome




This is a picture of the ruins below us.


This is a view of the rooms and the copper cleanup. ========>>>>


Where you see the letter J, that is for the town of Jerome. It seems that towns out west have the first letter of their town painted into the hillside of that town. Back east, we don't have hills and we don't have the room to paint letters, but I think it is nice to see it out here.

Once we started out to Jerome, we kept seeing the letter J: closer and closer we came.

Here are some of the houses on the hill of Jerome. Some of them have historical significance. After a major windy road, we finally came to Jerome. The elevation is a bit higher than the valley below.
When the town was founded is important, as it had a boom period for quite a while, then came the bust. When it was at the boom, there were over 15,000 people living on that hill. Now there are about 100 people living in Jerome, and it is mostly for tourists. It states it is a living ghost town.
As we were going to the Jerome State Historic Park we kept seeing abandoned buildings. Now of course, we see abandoned buildings back east, but these seemed more important, maybe because there were so many of them, and none of them had any graffiti. Ok it looks like I can't post another picture. Looks like I have to have Jerome on a new post.
