Cool shot!!
Are there prairie dogs/desert rats on top of the building? I see one stretched out eating from the tree and another peeking over the roof.

Thank you. It might have been a jail. Generally, in the Western ghost towns I've visited, the two strongest buildings were the jail and the bank.

No, we didn't detect. It's private property and I have no idea how to contact the owner. Off in the distance is:

It was late in the day, and we couldn't find the road from where we were standing to the old mine site.

Across the road from the first photo was:

This is (or, was) Gleeson, just outside Tombstone. The building is a restored 1910 jail - the only remaining structure.

Spent a lot of time all around there as a kid (my family is all from Bisbee), as well as Charleston, Fairbank, St. David and Benson.
My brother and his buddy were digging a privy in Charleston and found a gold pocket watch and chain years ago.

I highly recommend I'll Forget When I Die - the story of the 1917 Bisbee deportation of some 1,800 miners into the New Mexico desert. It is an enlightening history of the American labor movement, the battle for equal rights for Hispanic citizens, and more. It is first-rate - an important story well worth telling. More than another yarn about the OK Corral firefight.

Good luck to all,

The Old Bookaroo

Thank you! I missed that when we were there.
