One hike we have yet to take is up into the Chocolate mountains where people still mine for gold. They actually do find some gold but it's not the rush and few make enough to pay for the winter along with all the gear they need to purchase, nothing to say of the hard work it takes to extract the gold.
In one mined out area we found what looks to be a set of pet graves. Not sure if it's for real, but with headstones painted up with names like Tiger, Mews and White foot we assume these are for pets? Or maybe very small people from outer space. I need to be sensitive on how I use the word aliens around these parts. At any rate, we can now say, been-there-done-that. Won't hurry back
