Motino wash and some spelunkering

dam that was some super flex on that ledge, nice !! Thats prob the best articulation on the front end i have seen maybe ever with room to go thumbs up on that one .

You think that Chucks jeep flexes great. You should see how it corners coming down the Hwy 38.

Must have done something right Curtis, I passed him before hitting the freeway on Lugovonia rd. lol

Here is a bit more info on the Spanish mercury smelter that I found, seems there should be some mines near by for the Cinnabar, that was used to make mercury which then was used to get the gold out of crushed rock.

Is what I thought

If I remember right, there are some mines off 2N70Y. You can't see them from the road.

There are several mines in the area. You guys went in one of them.

What we are looking for is where they mined the Cinnabar for the smelter. Has to be very close to the smelter

This might help to identify which of the mines were used.

That looked like a good day out. How do you think my Cherokee would do? 33" tires and locked front and rear.

Should be ok, might be a bit worse for wear, but you get through it without to much trouble. Some of us were doing some creative stuff lol

Reed I think you would do fine on the trail. Art & the group did the optional hard routes....as would be expected.
