Antique Trucks at Gold King Mine & Ghost Town

It may look like a junkyard, or a truck graveyard, but this site houses some of the most interesting trucks and machinery that we've ever seen! Out to the north of the mountainous town of Jerome, Arizona lies the Gold King Mine & Ghost Town, where the owner, Don Robertson, has stored hundreds of antique trucks, Studebakers, and machinery that he has collected since the early 1960's. He has stored and lived on Gold King since 1982, and has a wide collection of stories of living out there. How interesting it was to explore what he has collected for over 50 years!
