Today we made another trip by RZR into the Southern Cross mine, a fascinating area. It's about a 20 mile trip through the desert, a twisty-turny, rough and dusty ride.
Gary and his wife, Jeri accompanied us with their RZR. We explored a mine we hadn't gone into before, and what a cool one it was. Lots of off-shoots , old wooden ladders and wood frames. The walls were a pinkish quartz like rock, really quite pretty.
When we decided to go home, Gary suggested an alternate route, through a mountain pass! What a BLAST traveling this high desert road home! Steep and rocky, a bit scary in places, and beautiful vistas to reward us at the top of the pass.
I was exhausted and exhiliarated when we returned. (and filthy with desert dust to boot)
Paul treated us all to dinner at the cafe after our much needed showers.
