Gila Bend

I skipped the ride into Wickenburg yesterday to try and speed my flu recovery. That meant an extra night in Gila Bend. I'll rejoin the tour tomorrow morning when we head back to Casa Grande.

I've always been fascinated by industrial decay. Gila Bend has a little of that to offer, so I wandered around this morning to take some pictures.

Riddle signage. At first I thought that some of the lettering fell off, but ut says the same thing on the other side. Anyone get what this is supposed to mean?
