The first 55 km’s were asphalt, into Mayo and from there into Elsa and Keno City. It was all gravel. The gravel section had calcium on the road, to keep the dust down. They mix it with water and spray it on the roadway. You should have seen the bike, by the time we got back to Stewart Crossing. Dar and the back end of the bike were covered in caked mud.
A good shower, to both of then, and they looked fine again.
All three of these locations were past Gold, Silver, Lead and Zinc Mines, from a period the early 1920’s, up until the late 1990’s. The Highway, (Hwy 11), is known as the Silver Trail. There was more Silver taken out of this area, than anywhere else in the world.
