Clay Mine at Cave Creek






Cave Creek Regional Park is known for it's clay mine. The mines in the area were originally dug in search of gold but a fine white clay was found to have medicinal uses, think Malox. The clay was sold as an elixir for all ailments but was really only good for dysentery.

We are always amazed at how the cactus can find a place to grow almost anywhere so we're keeping a photo record of the strangest cactus.
