We weren't old enough to drink beer but they sell us a soda. this would have been in the late 70s.

The next time you are in the Phoenix area and looking for a place to explore, check out the abandoned ghost town that is just south of the turnoff for Badger Creek (north of Phoenix on the I-17, a little bit north of Black Canyon City (where you've been). The remains of a silver mine that operated up until the 1930s, full of mine buildings, abandoned machinery, spookily deep mine shafts, foundations, and graves of workers. There is a beautiful canyon it overlooks, with Hohokam petrogylphs on the walls, a sometimes-flowing creek, and a riparian environment full of cottonwood trees that you would never know was there as you drive past on the I-17. The Audobon Society declared it a national birding area for the number of species there.
