In January 2013, we visited Tucson Arizona. On our final day, we headed out to try to find Ruby, AZ, a ghost town we’d seen references to on the radio. It was a true adventure as we had a vague idea of its location on the Mexican border. Stopping in to ask here and there, we finally made the drive across 6 miles of passable dirt roads through cattle country to this former mining town. A caretaker collected a small fee, had us sign releases, and warned us about rattlesnakes. It was pretty cool to explore the crumbling buildings and drop a penny down the mineshaft. It was one of our better adventures.
