Is it mostly gravel roads, or are there any heavy duty trails? |

wow! Great pics! Wish I had roads like that around here. Those paved roads are a dream for the guys on the bikes, I would love to do that too. And those carvings in the rocks are probably the original drill holes they would use to place the dynamite in. How far back could you get in those mines? Furthest I ever got was maybe 40 feet pitch black with nothing but a cig lighter... and then basically crapped my pants and had to run back. No thanks. |

Winters are pretty tame, probably not any worse than what you get, but without salt. Very dry, very dry, average summer temp is prolly like 80-85f, though we have many many days in the 90s and some above 100. been around 65-75 for about the past 3 weeks. |
