Totally snuck up on me this year. It would be interesting to see how much the mines have changed since last years event though. I would definitely encourage anyone within range to try and make it out since it was such a great area and with experienced company.
Just remember to bring some extra gas and food/beer as the small market in Tecopa can get cleaned out really quick. Oh, and try not to fall into the rockhound pits, picture related.
