Sunflower Mine 4-Wheeling!


We decided to take the Jeep out since we both had the day off.  Looking at the handy trail book we picked up a couple of months ago, we decided to explore some new territory.  Sunflower Mine looked ideal.  We don't have a stock SUV, so our rock clearance is HUGE!


The "Mystery Cave", kinda like the one where Luke faces Darth Vader, but it turns out to be his head in the Darth Vader mask.  Did that give anyone nightmares?

Sunflower Mine - they produced Mercury here.  For more pictures, visit http://www.ghosttowns.com/states/az/sunflower.html


Real or fake?  Does our Utah Rock Art specialist want to weigh in on this?


The stream is the trail!!!


Can you spot the border collie?  (Not wearing a red striped shirt)


A boy and his dog!


Now that's some impressive articulation!




A happy boy!

Looks like an awesome trip. Did you go inside the mine, or is it a death trap?

It was pretty run down. And very remote. We didn't see anyone the whole day, so we didn't dare do any crazy exploring.

Looks like a lot of fun, and the jeep looks awesome off roading!!!
