Nowhere else do I feel so excited to be alive as when I'm roaming its valleys, climbing its mountains, exploring its past, or relishing in its endless abundance of sunshine, solitude, and scenery. I have been a Nevada BLM Volunteer since 1992. This Rawhide project is the first of its kind for me. To go to such great lengths for a place where everything is gone and where even the landscape has changed makes the challenge all the more interesting.. Join me in my efforts! Don Deines Environmental Manager, Kennecott Minerals Don oversees all of the reclamation planning and activities during the closure process at the Rawhide mine. He estimated that he and his crew will remain working at the mine until at least 2006... Don are you still there??
