I forgot about these photos I took about three weeks ago when I took a drive to the top of South Mountain. South Mountain Park is located at the very south border of Phoenix and most people recognize it as the place where all the TV and radio towers are located. I suppose the altitude gives them a bit of a transmission boost. Right at the entrance to the park, is this place called Scorpion Gulch, the ruins of an old trading post dating back to 1936.

Fascinating looking place, the brickwork looks in fantastic condition.
We used to see horse riders around if I remember. A nice place.
I would have picked it as being older than it actually is
I'm guessing that's "dry wall" construction, no cement.
Whatever, it's a beautiful result.
It has a rather foreboding name!
All the way back to 1936? :)
That name evokes many memories of old Western movies! But the last time I was down that way I played golf at what I think was South Mountain Golf Course. I don't remember much except that it was summer and incredibly hot!
Those rock walls have stood the test of time. They really are picturesque!
Such wonderful stone walls, Sharon. Love your capture through the window in the first pic!
Yes, wonderful stone walls indeed!
I enjoyed seeing the old trading post...the stories one could tell in a painting or other medium. Thank you, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
That is a cool old building! It looks really solid, too.
I like the reflection of the Kokopelli.
Side by side with such a Saguaro, I could only love the place! :-)
