The old
mining camps and town sites aren’t the only interesting stops along the Bonanza
Trail. Some of these old sites are miles
apart. Nevertheless, the trail passes
through vast tracts of relatively unspoiled land. Some of these spots resemble
the prairie lands; tall grasses grow along flat plains here. You can drive a little further and find
yourself surrounded by large hills dotted with Yucca. There is usually plenty of room to pull over
and get out of your vehicle. I encourage
you to do that, if time permits it; we tend to miss a lot while concentrating
on our driving. Feel the desert air on
your skin. Listen to the wind rustling
some of the tall grasses. Look at the
surrounding hills; is that an old head frame on the side of that mountain? Take lots of photos.
To be continued next week
