For years we’ve driven past a large collection of rusting, abandoned mining equipment, along with a bunch of huge rocks that get used in each year’s Boom Days drilling competition<\/a>. We’d never stopped to explore them, though\u2014until now. On Thursday nephew Patrick joined the Micronaxx & me on a little excursion.

The four of us hoofed it to avoid some impending rain, and the next day we returned with Mom-O. Here’s a gallery<\/a> that combines shots from both visits.<\/p>\n
