Todays Drone Exploration begins along Highway 177, where I pull off to explore a mysterious abandoned cement structure tucked into the desert. With my drone, I circle the site, trying to piece together what it once was—likely tied to Arizona’s rich mining history. Not far down the road, I follow the Copper Basin Railway, flying my drone along the tracks and into a remote railroad tunnel carved through the rock. Along the way, I stumble across something unexpected—an abandoned RV camper buried in the brush, weathered by time and riddled with bullet holes. Nearby, I spot old railcars and forgotten structures, all slowly being reclaimed by the desert. I then make a stop in the small town of Kearny, Arizona, where I check out historic train displays and capture aerial views while sharing a bit of local history. From there, the journey continues into Winkelman, Arizona, where I walk across the historic Old Winkelman Bridge, taking in views of the Gila River.
