Which Way To The Mine? (12 of 365)

Another photo taken on my westward trip to Arizona. This was taken on the side of the road in Jerome, Arizona. Now just a monument to the history of the town, this cart used to haul rock and copper out of the mines. Jerome, now the largest ghost town in America, used to be home to the largest copper mine in Arizona. At one point in time, this mine was producing 3 million pounds of copper per month!

A very steep and winding road led my family and I through Jerome. The road was so steep that several times we had to pull to the side of the road to let the brakes cool off!

This photo was taken with my XSi on 11.27.2009. It seems I have been posting a lot from this trip, but I have so many great photos! If you want to catch a glimpse of America's most vertical city, take a look through Google Maps.
