We went on a little road trip to Ajo ... a once thriving Copper Mine Town.... now turning to the Arts....
It is a quaint place....The Plaza...here they hold weekly Farmer's Markets with produce from their many Community Gardens, Art Shows and more!
Adobe style buildings, which I like so much!!...
The mine.. is as deep as the Empire State Building is high... The Lookout Tower was closed, because of the holiday...so I had to take pictures between fence wires...
Here you can see the lake at the bottom of the mine. The mine closed in 1985...
When the mine closed.... the town began to die....but what is it doing to grow the town ...to be continued!
