The hills of Pit 11 have changed quite a bit over the years.  Pit 11 was and active mine until 1974, so these photos are from just two years afterwards.  Notice the lack of vegetation!  If you’ve been there anytime recently, you know how much different it looks today… especially in later summer.

These photos come from Kathy Dedina who was president of ESCONI in the late 1990s.  She took some great photos of ESCONI events.  These photos date to September 1976.
