Or, is it open without appointment?
No, it is not.

We drove down there from Tubac a few weeks back and the gate was locked with a phone number to call for access. Never was able to reach anyone. You obviously were successful. Guess I need to try again. Any suggestions?
One has to have a permit, and they have to be obtained in advance. Should you want to take that drive again, go to their website and get the permit. That gives you the combination to the lock. They are only open Thurs-Sun. Did you go through Rio Rico or Arivaca. I wanted to do the Rio Rico route, but was advised against it. On their website is says that a message on the phone will be answered in a few days. She's not tied to the phone.

Interesting! Although as remote as Ruby is, I don't think even the long arm of the government agencies reached it!

Very interesting set Kathy, wonder how many fell off that slide!
I wondered that. And it's very high!

It must be a lot of fun exploring a site like this. That slide is wicked. Looks like it would have taken a brave kid to go down it. The jail doesn't like like it would be a good place to be. Being chained to a tree might be better. Very enjoyable shots!
Thanks, Carol. It is a reminder of how different things were then.

There used to be a caretaker there named Sun Dog. He was a scroungy, dirty, bearded old reprobate but an incredibly knowledgeable old character. I was told he is one longer there?
The current person is a lovely young lady named Laura. She's very nice and knows all the stories.

What a fun tour, Kathy! You will have to let jederick know about this place.
Thanks, Mike. It's a neat place to while away a day.

And ended up in Ruby! It's a ghost town - an old mining town very active in the 20's and 30's. What's fun is that they haven't "rebuilt" anything, but just left it. Most of the buildings are open and can be investigated. If they're unsafe, then they're posted. One can drive to a lot of the stuff, and walk to the rest. I'll make several posts, but I'm going to do some of the buildings first.
This was the Cargill house. He was the company accountant and ran the mercantile for awhile.

I hope this slide was a bit better back then. (Notice no side rails!)

The jail. Before this, they simply chained suspects to a tree!

The custom of the era was that women and children entered and exited thru one door while men used the other. Many old churches, like this one, have divided center pews to maintain that segregation during the worship service. Some faiths maintain that segregation during worship to this day. Thanks for your interest.
Interesting. We never practiced that and I've frankly never heard of it before. Again, interesting!

Hey, thanks! I'll see how it compares to the process I've used.
