Poor Yorick


If you are ever in Congress - Arizona that is, you will want to venture up the road and visit the 'Skull'.
Evidently, during the early 1900's when turn of the century railway workers in possession of surplus paint and to much time on their hands, decided to apply their talents to a massive bolder that to them seemed to resemble a skull.

According to local legend, conductors on passenger trains that once traveled through the area would conjure up wild stories about finding skulls in the area. Then they would take delight in watching passengers' faces as the train rounded the bend and the huge skull popped into view.

This stone-faced specter as been dubbed "Poor Yorick" by the local residents. If you go, you will want to head Northwest on Yavapai County Road 62 at State Route 89, just North of Congress.
