Out by the old Vulture Mine west of Wickenburg is the cemetery for the people that lived and worked out by the mine. It had some really old graves from the 1800's. One section was for children -- very sad how many of them died so young but it was a tough way of life.
When we left Quartzsite and headed toward Wickenburg we made a stop in the little town of Salome. There isn't a lot to see in this town - one good bar/restarurant and a few RV parks that cater to snow birds. So I thought it was interesting that they had this memorial in town. It is a piece of melted steel from one of the two towers of the World Trade Building. It would be interesting to know the story of how it got here in the middle of nowhere Arizona.
