After checking out Silvery City, I saw there was a touristy spot just south of there the Santa Rita copper mine, one of the largest copper pit mines in the world. One and a half miles across, 1500 feet deep and growing. It threatens to eat the nearby landmark of the ages "The Kneeling Nun" which is just on the East side of the pit. (See I told you I'd revisit that and I will again too). There were also two abandoned mines close enough to the road for me to get photos 
of them too but alas there were FENCES around them. A
s if curious tourists and picture takers would consider encroaching on private property.
