What is We found Victor particularly infuriating. Infuriating because the site is littered with broken bottles- with just the tops of the necks broken off. Stanley Paher's book mentions the remains of some rock foundations but we didn't spy any during out brief visit. |
This
is the area which seems to have the most debris, although the plat*
shows streets on both sides of the road.
|
Many
of the gullies and washes at Victor are filled with glass, cans, and small
debris.
|
Someone
tried to bring a little civilization to the area at one time.
