Join A&G Adventures as we take you deep into Arizona’s past, exploring the ruins of the Sanchez CCC Camp Site near Safford, AZ. Get your Ventusas Jacket here: https://ift.tt/BbMyQkD @venustasheatedapparel Established in 1935, this Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp played a crucial role in protecting the Upper Gila River Valley by implementing soil conservation and erosion control measures. Over 150 young men worked here, constructing earthen check dams, rock spreaders, and contour furrows to prevent the loss of valuable farmland. Today, remnants of the Sanchez CCC camp still stand, including portions of five original buildings, the SCS administration building, and the garage/blacksmith shop, both built with poured concrete and basalt cobbles. You’ll also find concrete foundations, stone-marked pathways, and crumbling walls, offering a glimpse into this forgotten chapter of Arizona’s history. This adventure is perfect for history buffs, urban explorers, and off-road enthusiasts looking for a hidden historical site in Arizona. If you love discovering abandoned places, CCC camp ruins, or historical landmarks in the Southwest, don’t miss this journey into the past!
