OLD MINING DAYS

The "ARRASTRA" was used to grind small pieces of ore by using a very large boulder on the inside perimeter that was pulled by mules or donkeys around the outside perimeter. The hub in the center of the ARRASTRA has shafts that allows ropes, rods, cables to be hooked up. This Arrastra was found in the Harquahala Mtns in pristine condition near an old cabin and mine shaft.

TREASURES OF OUTBACK

This Gila Monster was captured by photo just a few miles south of Salome off Harquahala Mine Road on open BLM land. There are thousand of acres of open public land to explore and enjoy in the Arizona Outback

GEOGlyph

The fisherman is an intaglio (geoglyph or earth figure), a large figure created in the soil by Indians many many years ago.

Visit the site of this protected giant on the scenic drive along Plomosa Road, between Bouse and Quartzsite.

The scenery and views on this drive are so spectacular, you will want to turn around and go back, just to make sure that you didn't miss anything.

We invite you to stop and visit and learn a little more about Quartzsite, Arizona and the interesting folks who call it home.
