Where is chloride az

Frankly, there is not much to the town or to see. The year old jail is interesting but that is a five minute stop. We drove to the painted murals just to say we had been there. The most interesting part of the stop was interacting with a few of the locals.

Otis, who resembled a member of ZZ Top, was quite entertaining. He told us that many of the residents of Chloride ended up there for the quiet, secluded and inexpensive existence. We met a delightful young lady at the general store who ended up in living Chloride after her car broke down on the interstate. She decided to take advantage of a mild AZ winter before heading out across country. These people and their stories are what made the town interesting. Kimberly K Charlotte, NC 53 contributions.

There is no need to meander into this odd little locale. There are only two restaurants in town and one Yesterdays is closed some weekdays. The fake "ghost town" storefronts are poorly constructed and pathetic in their appearance. Overall, a weird little spot with no attraction. I couldn't wait to get back on the main highway.

Chloride is its name and mining was its claim to fame. Chloride offers a stroll back in time without the primping and preening that often accompanies a tourist stop. It is totally without pretension and that it is even on the map is testament to the ingenuity of the current town's folk.

Chloride is best experienced on foot - though if you are not up to a jaunt, a slow drive through town is perfectly doable. There is much to see in Chloride though first impressions can be very misleading. I know our first impression upon doing a lap or two in the car was, "Geez, looks pretty barren and dusty.

In Chloride, you walk with eyes wide open. During our walk about Bob and I unearthed a wealth of priceless artifacts that shouldn't be missed. We don't want to give away the store by telling you everything we found but we will tell you - we did find the tin man.

He is alive and well and living in Chloride. Turn your visit to Chloride into a scavenger hunt! Find a license plate from every state, count the horse shoes, how many pots live in trees, did you see where I left my boot, where is tin man today Make it fun - take the time to explore and start a scavenger hunt. Your whole party will be enthused and you might just make discoveries you might have otherwise missed.

My singular disappointment was thus: I read about Chloride in a brochure we picked up in our travels. It indicated there were miles of ATV and horse riding trails. This was not our reason for heading to Chloride but it did entice with additional appeal. I thought we'd horseback ride out to the Purcell murals. Too bad the brochure forgot to mention - you need to bring your own horse! Mike V Gloucestershire, UK 92 contributions. This town is worth a visit as the people are friendly and need the support of tourists.

Had a meal in Yesterdays just off the main street, had steak and eggs and it has been the best meal I've had in the USA so far the steak was great. We were there for lunch and although breakfast had finished at 11 they said it was no trouble having it. Prospectors bar is also great as cold beer is needed if not driving and the non alcohol is cheap as we.

So much history. I could get lost in thought trying to imagine how hard it was for the people that built these towns. Too bad all history couldn't be preserved to look at and walk on the places others struggled to survive on.

So much to be learned from the places and the people. Truly fortunate to have seen so much of this country and the history and beauty it holds. Still love to explore those new places I've not yet been. Chloride is not for everyone. If you are looking for "lots of things to do", well, Chloride has SOME things to do but it's still just being "Chloride".

It gets crazy on occasion, but mostly it's a quiet little village, part of what was once a busy mining town. Now speaking as a hobby "ghost investigator", I've found Chloride to have it's share of spooks and spirits. I once recorded a sexy male voice at the old real two cell jail, saying "yes ma'am! The "fake ghost town" is actually really haunted. We've spotted "shadow people" there in the evening and recorded ghost voices in one of the buildings. It's a fun "photo op" during the day and its interesting to note that the fake graveyard tombstones have the names of old mines from the area, no longer in production.

If you go to the real cemetery, it is fascinating in itself, very unique but windblown as heck. Dress warm on cool days. There is also a small plot just a bit further down the road where a few miners were buried after being killed by local indians.

It is surrounded by a chain link enclosure. A very sad and introspective place to visit. If you don't mind a bumpy ride 4 wheel drive recommended , you can go back in the rocks to see the Purcell murals, painted back in the 70s by artist Roy Purcell, who was later the curator of the Mohave Museum of History and Arts in Kingman.

His artistry was not appreciated at the time he was stopped by the police but went right back to work on it afterward. What Chloride is, is a beautiful, wondrous piece of Americana from the mining days gone by. That some local business people have added a bit of commercial ambiance and backdrop in no way, shape or form detracts from the fact that Chloride drips with images and whispers of those amazing times.

People that give Chloride bad reviews are self-important morons. Chloride is an experience that is as much about the imagination and emotion as it is the visual remains and enhancements.

Chloride once, for a short period of time, thrived, and I can't even imagine what life back then was like. A visit to this place however will at least give you a visceral glimpse of what those folks experienced. Bravo Chloride! I've been to Chloride and love the ambience. I love to photograph quirky places The abandoned buildings evoke times past. I imagine the glory days and lots of cowboys in the saloon, with dancing and singing.

I think ghost hunters should check this place out. It is a stop from Kingman to Las Vegas, a nice place to unwind after the craziness of Vegas. It's still some mine activities. Chloride is today a peaceful town with one restaurant, 3 cafeterias, one store, two saloons and people. Chloride postoffice grounded in is the oldest still working post office in Arizona. Butterfield Stage Line served Chloride from until Santa Fe Railroad served Chloride from until In Chloride's most hectic days from until groves number of citizens to more then 2.

From Day to Day Permission granted to use the following: Mohave county has the distinct honor to be the home of the oldest consistently attended church in the State of Arizona. The church got its start in the late 's, originally meeting in a Pullman Railroad car that served as a Sunday School room, chapel and home, to the roaming preacher's family. Two churches evolved from that railroad car ministry, but one of the churches disbanded after a fire.

The church that continued passed through two denominations, now a Southern Baptist Church.
