Exploring in the desert

Today we went to Reymert, Arizona. We visited the old Reymert Mines. It was an interesting place.

It was hot and we had to walk over a mile to get to the site. We ventured to the desert to use Jason’s new metal detector. The only object we found is a 1965 dime. We did gain memories and plan on coming back when it’s cooler.





He also has a metal detector wand.




Our car was filthy from the drive but in the picture you couldn’t see all the dirt.


Turkey vultures circling.


A small cactus growing from in between rocks. At the first glance I thought it was growing on the rock.


A group of five cattle walking by.



The remains of two processing kilns.









It sure was spicy outside. My middle child’s way to say it’s hot out.



Jason digging to look for the metal the detector was beeping at. It was just an old piece of metal.


Jason standing by an old rock wall.


You can see the remnants of a rock wall.
According to Wikipedia these are stacked stone foundations.






Kendree and Kindsey sitting in the shade. We ate grapes, carrots and grape tomatoes as a snack.












You can google Reymert Mines or Reymert, Arizona. Nice history and the desert is beautiful. 

Even though today it was hot is was not too bad in the morning when we visited the historical site. We drove for about an hour from our house. It’s nice to get out and do something different.
