The entrance to the Victoria Mining Preserve. The walls contain old artifacts and new mosaics, a little art and history.
A path through one of the many cuts and a building remnant.
Life after the digging, nature makes a breakthrough.
More discards and scars, an old tank and tailings mounds.
The iconic mining image, a poppet head. The contraption sits on top of a mining shaft, hoisting everything up and down. At the preserve, it's now a viewing platform.
