    Default Town of Red Rover

    Does anyone know anything about the mining town of Red Rover? Like how to get there? I hear it is on private property, and want to know about getting permission to get in to the town. From the pictures I have seen it looks really cool.

    Scott, let me find the site where I found it again. I will post it here. I wish I could tell you more, but I do not know very much more, that is why I want to go, but apperently there is a gate on the trail facing a building with a machine gun mounted on top. I think it better to find out how to get permission to come onto the property than take any chances. I would be willing to pay the ownres for their trouble and kindness and promise not to mess anything up or take anything from the property. But I am that way with all ruins, I would rather leave it there for other people to experience and enjoy. I do not collect artifacts.

    Here is the link I found telling about Red Rover, http://www.ghosttowns.com/states/az/redrover.html but it does not say anything on how to get there or how to get in. It is the far northwest corner of Maricopa County. I am going to continue on my search and keep all posted.

    I did not see any contact info on the web site for the web site. I dunno, I am going to do some research and see if I can't gather more and try to make contact with the owners of the town. If and when that happens I will post info here and possible arrange a trip. If anyone has any info please share.
