these are great pics! Hands down, the entire red mountain mining district is probably the most fascinating place i have ever had the chance to explore. I spent many a weekend up there in my college days and would try to imagine what life was like living there almost 100 years ago. By the way if you don't already have the book 'The Rainbow Route', I highly suggest it. There are lots of great photos (both historical and more recent).
