Tales of Tucson Episode 3: Total Wreck

“Ghost Town Hunters,” a new reality TV show, sends a producer and an art director to the Sonoran Desert southeast of Tucson to search for the ghost town of Total Wreck. To their surprise, they find that news of the town’s death was greatly exaggerated.

Ghost towns have always been part of the spooky lore of the Old West, and Arizona has more than its share of boom towns gone bust. A few are well preserved, but some are more remote now than they were in the 1880s. Total Wreck is one of those lost towns.

The mining town in the Empire Mountains was once a bustling town. Today it's a ghost town.
