    I would agree that mining is horrifically exploitive and leaves massive, ugly scars on the land. How wonderful if it were all done compatibly, with the land returned to it's natural and wild state before walking away. I think that has been done in some situations. Lovely to see the land being stewarded rather than destroyed.
    So what have the winter rainfall averages been like there? It seemed like there were a lot of Pacific storms rolling in.
    Take care. See you next time. 🥰♥️

      Thanks Meg! Yes, it's an El Nino year and we have had twice the typical amount of winter rainfall - about 6-7 inches, which could easily be a whole YEAR of rainfall around here. We are eagerly anticipating the wildflowers, which have just started blooming and should peak later in March.

    Do the sheep eat that non native grass? If they do, let them do the hard work...

      Well, yes, they do... but unfortunately they disperse the seeds and spread the buffelgrass to new places in the process.

    Did you ever have to spend a night out at the mines?

      Actually, we haven't spent any nights tent camping because we never thought to bring that kind of equipment on the trip. There are a few rustic cabins on the refuge where people can shelter overnight (with no water or electricity) but the buildings at the mines are falling apart so they wouldn't be suitable for that.
