Its a full moon over Goldfield Ghost Town. Join us as we look for ghosts. We start at the top of the hill at the church on the mount at sunset. We work our way down the hill through town capturing images of various building after dark.

Lulu’s Bordello is looking very quiet tonight. I wonder where the floosy’s are? Visit during the day to learn some history of the women of the 1800′s.

The Coffee Cantina is also closed tonight. I don’t think they were expecting us. You will find Cappuccino, Espresso, Brunch, Lunch & Pastries here during the open hours.

The Blue Nugget pictured here with a golden sunset on the horizon. This shop features beautiful Sterling Silver jewelry and geological rocks. Also Native American Turquoise Jewelry, Rocks and Fossils.

At the bottom of the hill or near the entrance to the town is the Goldfield Station. Behind the station is where you board the train. A mile and a half of track circles the town, and the narrated journey lasts 20 minutes. The engineer tells of the history of Goldfield, the Superstition Mountains, and the desert southwest in general. The train departs every 35 minutes on a 20 minute journey. The ghosts may have taken the train out tonight.

Finally, the moon rises. The moon took its time reaching the top of the mountain — it was nearly 10pm when it peeks out.
