had planned on doing some riding at Carolin mine, but some moron wrecked that. during the fire ban last summer, somebody went down the pipeline access & started a fire. they were actually mopping up this fire when we went by last july on our holidays. anyways, to prevent it again, they blocked off the access. used to be able to drive across the creek- not anymore....
too bad, this leads in to THE BACK country
pretty tough to get across now, maybe if you had a rock buggy....
you can see how the fire ran right up the pipeline
