Here's some photos of what I did Christmas Eve. I was on my way out to Las Vegas (family thing) on the motorbike and had arranged with a friend to meet me at Primm, NV.

I parked the bike and Andy (my friend who lives in Vegas) picked me up in his Jeep. We headed south on the I-15 to Yates Well Rd. We exited and headed north on a dirt road to the Colosseum Mine.

This is a strip mine pit that was worked off/on for 120 years ceasing in mid-92 which produced gold/silver. The mine at the widest point at the top is approximately 1600' wide and about 750' deep (by EPA records). At the bottom is a beautiful blue green pool covering about 3 acres.

I had a good time wandering around. It's always great to get out and see things even if you just ride along. Enjoy the photos.

You really should get out more often Mike.

That looks like a very cool area....

How was the ride out to Nevada on your scooter ?

It would be a cool area to wander around. Better than the last time because of the bigger windshield and having a radio but she could use a few more upgrades to make it even nicer.
