A Tourist Stop Along the Turquoise Trail

Casa Grande Trading Post Petting Zoo & Cerrillos Turquoise Mining Museum的点评

2026年10月18日发布于: 海外

点评：I was hoping for historical interest, but what I got was a headache. The petting zoo is available for view from the street (llama, chickens with special feathers, a couple of other sad creatures). Inside, there are tons of semi-precious stones, Western doodads and kitsch, all selling at top dollar. I don’t know what the mining museum consists of, but it’s $4 to enter the gated section off the store, and I had zero interest after running the gauntlet of the stones and curios. The whole thing reminded me of a place I was taken by a summer camp in Maine decades ago called “The Desert of Maine.” A farmer, who got tired of always having to take out rocks from his field, buried the entire farm under boatloads of sand, then posted signs saying “Farmhouse under here!” Or “Silo under here!” And, he had a tower: for $1 you could get an aerial view of the Desert of Maine! That’s kind of how this place felt to me, even though it’s actually better.

翻译：我本指望能从中体会到些历史趣味，结果却只换来了头疼。从街上就能看到那个宠物动物园（有美洲驼、长着特殊羽毛的鸡，还有几只看起来闷闷不乐的小动物）。屋内则摆满了大量半宝石、各种西式小玩意儿和俗气的装饰品，全部都以高价出售。至于矿业博物馆里有什么，我就不得而知了——要进入商店旁边那个有门禁的区域需支付4美元，但在逛完那些宝石和奇珍异玩之后，我实在提不起丝毫兴趣了。整个地方让我想起了几十年前缅因州的一个夏令营带我去过的地方，名叫“缅因沙漠”。有个农夫厌烦了总是要从田里捡出石头，于是就用大量沙子把整个农场都掩埋起来，还竖起牌子写着“农场房屋在此之下！”或者“谷仓在此之下！”。他甚至还建了一座塔楼：花1美元就能从高处俯瞰整个“缅因沙漠”！对我来说，这个地方给人的感觉也差不多，只不过实际上它比那里还要好。
