We stopped to take a photo of Matt and Jenn standing in the corner of an old stone house. Looking on the ground for nice rocks.

Top of the Chief Silver Mine at 5,000' elevation. Getting ready to go on our ATV tour. 500 square miles of conservation land to explore.

Bless the young people being able to move around in small spaces. Taken in the Vault Room.

Angie and son at the 400' level going up the ladder to the Vault Room.

Resting after we get to Cienica Falls where water runs all year round.

There is 500 square miles to explore here. Photo of some free ranging cows. Hope they're not lost...LOL

Mike looking thru the tailings piles to find some beautiful rocks with crystals growing on and in them. Part of the ATV tour.

My back yard is a mountain range. My front yard is 500 square miles of conservation land where no one can ever build.

At the end of a long and enjoyable day, relax with a glass of wine watching the sun go down. LIFE IS GOOD.

Just got done exploring another old mine site on the ATV tour.
