Ruins east of Kingman.

 Taking the side-by-side from our house, going east on East Diamond Joe Road, you encounter a couple old homesteads that are nothing but ruins now.  These are north of the I-40.  The first is not very far out.  It is between Diamond Joe and Airway.  Mostly all that remains is the rock work.






The other ruin I have been past is farther out on Diamond Joe.  Again only the rock work remains.  The people who lived here must have been pretty hardy as they were living isolated on the desert.  However in the end, the desert must have driven them away.  It would be fun to know more of their stories.
