Potosi NV and Wilson AZ ...many years later

Potosi NV and Wilson AZ ...18 and 21 years later
(never say "never again")

Pics by Harlan W S & Erica
Feb 03 and 10, 2024

I went up Potosi in 2004 and 2006 from the NW, and 2x in 2003 to find the "Carole Lombard" site; the latter experience left a bad taste, so didn't feel much love. I was told the road route from the south was a drag; but in 2024, I had the chance to do it with snow, which made it magical.

I went up Wilson AZ in 2002, and later did the much tougher traverse to North Wilson. I liked Wilson, but it seemed a bit far across town for a casual day... until good friends persuaded me with an offer to drive.
