URBEX: Southwest Mining Towns


This gem (above) was just out of town on the 77 out of Globe.


This trailer (above) was nearby.


This huge empty hanger/warehouse (above) was with them.


This adorable tortilla factory (above) was in Miami, just below the road to the abandoned houses we enjoy photographing.


Is this quaint or what (above)? The locals in Superior hate outsiders. They slowed down to glare at us but I pretend I don't see them.


This empty garage (above) caught my attention
for the light coming out of the back of it.


Empty row of shops (above)


Isn't this old market wall fascinating (above)?


The old Magma Hotel (above)


I always wonder what this building was like before it lost all its parts (above)


Of course, we had to pose at that building


This building (above) had burned out inside and was left to the weather with squeaking metal blowing in the wind

**Tonight is Lonely on a Friday Night, join us here**
