		While I find their concern for the historical value and significance of old Arizona town-sites somehow touching, it should be noted that not 20 years ago one of Arizona's most remote, and therefore complete, ghosttowns was destroyed in part by BLM.
		I'm not so sure that their wholesale distribution of fliers with maps is the best means of preservation if that's really their goal, but it's a pretty interesting flier, and the place is no secret.
		When I last saw it in '86 or 7 Swansea was in pretty depressing condition (compared to 10 years prior) and was also serving as an RV park for several dozen vehicles with California tags, and I've not been back.
