Sign on the door of one of the old buildings.

This was a window on an old building in Chloride. I thought it looked interesting.

One of the attractions to Chloride is a ghost town area. Those of you from Florida will probably (if you are old enough) remember a place called "Six Gun Territory". This ghost town was like that only on a much smaller scale. They do have a scheduled gunfight in the streets but we were just a little too late to catch it.

After the wedding, we decided that since we don't drink, stay out late or gamble, Vegas didn't really have much to offer us old folks. I'm very glad that we got to see it but I don't really see us making a special trip back anytime soon. On that note, we decided to leave a day earlier than we originally planned so we checked out and hit the road. I had developed a habit of stopping at welcome centers on the way and getting maps and tourist info, partly for the time and partly for future planning after I retire. On the way out, the Arizona center was closed for Columbus day so we needed to stop on the way back. Along the interstate, we saw a sign for an official  Az. welcome center so we took the exit. After getting off we realized that there was nothing around but a sign saying "welcome center 4 miles". Since we were on an adventure anyway, we made the trip. I think a couple of times we heard banjos playing but we finally came to a little town called Chloride Az. I was a nice little town with a lot of old stuff, a ghost town area and a lifestyle that would be nice to settle in to. We ended up spending several hours walking around and looking. This was a sign as we entered the town.
