We had went to nine mile a few times before but this time we wanted to try to get to the really good ones.

Happened to spot this one on accident. It's in a crack high up.

These are at the mouth of Dry Canyon in Nine Mile by the "plant"

We spotted this granary and walked over to it (public land).

This one is behind a BUNCH of large bushes and cannot be seen from the road because of that. It is one of the most famous sites in nine mile.

I think..... i have a flat thanks to a worker helped me out =D. I had a jack but It slipped and my truck didn't hold the emergency brake so after I caught my truck. I put rocks in front of the tire. Then it was so low i couldn't get the jack back under but with the worker's help i got it under there and the spare on. I was laying under the truck when it rolled forward luckily i wasn't under the tire i was in the back...

Coin,
Were there trucks running up and down the road dusting you? Last time I was in 9 mile it sucked big time, I wasn't there long because of all the traffic, my diesel wasn't happy sucking all the dust as well.
Great shots, if they ever stop the drilling I might have to go back and check out the stuff I missed, I was too busy flipping off the truckers hahahahahaha

No problem about them dusting me but the washboardyness (i know not a word). Led to the tire being flat.
