Bird's eye view

Here is a photo taken from the International Space Station......ok, a passing commercial jet :) You can see the mine (hole in the ground), Hadley (little splotch of green on the left side), Carvers (near the light colored patch to the top right) and several valleys over with the furthest getting pretty close to Fallon, NV.
To put this all in perspective, the mountains are in the 10,000-11,000 foot range though they only rise about a mile from the valley floor. The mine pit is an oval, approximately 1.5 miles by 1 mile. Also, it is about a 5 mile trip from Hadley to the Administration offices located near the pit.
On the far right middle, just at the foot (or "toe" in mine speak) of the mountains, is Gold Hill which is currently the most promising area for new gold mining.
