Chloride is the oldest continuously inhabited mining town in the state of Arizona.
Sitting in the Cerbat (sir-bat) Mountains, Chloride's name came from the silver chloride found in the hills.
Silver chloride is used today in "photographic emulsions and antiseptic silver solutions".
The day I took this photo, the rains had been coming down hard and the road into the town site was closed. I hope to get back there soon for there are also some famous murals painted on the rocks by Roy Purcell in 1966 that will be exciting to find.
