I visited Los Algodones several times during the week. And I’d dropped the basement door off at the body shop for repainting, (see last article here: Hanging around Yuma…). When Saturday rolled around, I knew the door was finished and … Continue reading →

Visiting Goldfield and beyond…

Posted on April 10, 2019 by Jim@HiTek

I’d paid for 3 nights here in Goldfield and that’s plenty. A longer stay wouldn’t be very interesting at this time because the town is a work in progress. There are several historical buildings that aren’t open to the public … Continue reading →
