This woman is casing homes in North Phoenix, do you recognize her? If she hears dogs or any other sound after knocking, she’ll leave. If not, she’ll get her friends and they’ll break in and steal all your goodies. Do you know . . . → Read More: Have you seen me?
The De Soto mine sits above where the town of Middleton once stood at an elevation of about 4967′ or so. Still wet from rain, the road was a bit slick including just a little sideways action I would not suggest going in anything but something with clearance as the rains have exposed some rocks that might challenge a car or small pickup. The Hummer had no problems and I’m sure most 4×4′s would make it especially when it’s dry. It was actually an enjoyable drive with the vegetation and surroundings changing quickly. You gain elevation pretty quick on the trail to the mine which as you can imagine affords you a great view of The Bradshaw’s. I started the morning off enjoying a bowl of cereal with my daughter, then it was off to meet up with my uncle for our trip to Humbug, AZ to meet up with Dave Burns, caretaker of this old town of days gone by. Since my uncle had been there before some 30 years ago, I thought I’d let him lead the way. even though I’d been researching the route to take, I didn’t want to waste time getting there. It was bad enough I barely got any sleep the night before thanks to all the excitement of making this trip.
The day was going to be a nice one I could tell, not too chilly and no rain in the forecast. Had we tried this trip last weekend however, we may not have been able to cross Humbug Creek on the way in. We were told later in the day that the creek was running 10-12 feet in depth in places.

So the Silo Social was awesome! I got a clean bill of health from the ER last night, no broken bones. That my friends, could only mean one thing; I was doing the Silo. Before getting into the story, have a look at the video if you’d like. It was from our adventure today as well.
The day started off about 5am for me so I could make the meeting spot. I got down to the area just north of Tucson and met some great guys. It seemed everybody had their stories to tell about one adventure or another. I even heard a story or two about Neverland and how some folks managed to explore that area one time before all the rides were removed. Once we were all pretty sure nobody else was coming, we made our way to the site. I was still pretty nervous about doing the silo with a sprained foot, but I didn’t drive all the way down there just to look at a hole in the ground. The area was actually pretty clear of debris on the surface, nothing to indicate the treasure that lie below. Continue reading 570-3 * A Silo Social

So by about 7:45am, we were on our way to Humbug, making our way through the city. Nothing beats hitting the trail-head bright and early so you have plenty of time to explore, stop for pictures and whatnot. If you’re not gone by 8am, why bother?
