198plus · 10-06-2011, 09:28 AM

chemlab · 10-06-2011, 09:31 AM

i want the bike the old man is on

**Clyde65** · 10-06-2011, 09:32 AM

I love that old Jeep flatbed. thanks for the pictures, those were some killer truck pictures!

Keith Seymore · 10-06-2011, 09:33 AM

Fun! I could spend a day kickin around there, I believe.

As an aside, we used to do brake testing on Mingus Mountain (in Jerome).

Takes 4 minutes to go from top to bottom down the back side; 11 minutes to hit bottom down the front (towards town)

68panelman · 10-06-2011, 10:12 AM

Wow!!! what an awesome place!. Great job on the pics.

Very nice pictures - I especially like that AD Wrecker - very cool. Thanks for posting.

66Gilbert · 10-07-2011, 01:05 AM

The old ghost town Jerome is just up the hill from Cottonwood. This was my stomping grounds when I was a kid as my Grandpa and Grandma lived in Jerome almost all of their lives. The old guy is Don Robertson, he has some of the neatest projects you will ever see and is very well known around the area in the towns of Jerome, Clarkdale and Cottonwood. This is a great area to vist with a lot to see and is rich in history from the copper mine that operated In Jerome back in the day.

**N2TRUX** · 10-07-2011, 01:01 PM

WOW! What an amazing collection. I would have had a hard time leaving there.

NONHOG · 10-07-2011, 03:09 PM

Highlight of my last Az. trip! My wife wants to go back.
