Back to the Mountains
... It spurs out to the river itself and the vistas are amazing! Along the way we saw several spots where the ancient people had ground “mortars” into the stone on the trail.

Driving us round the bend...!
... mining town which was abandoned in the 1940’s, only to be repopulated in the 1970’s and is now home to an active community of artists, musicians and "free thinking individuals"...or as we like to call them weirdo’s!!
On arrival we were directed into the local store, basically a large gift shop, but they had cold drinks on offer so we were happy enough with that! They also have a self-guided tour around the town which takes approx ...
