Aouli 1994


Aouli 1994

The mines at Aouli are extensive and you could spend weeks exploring them. All are now abandoned, but if the price of metals keeps rising, they may some day be reopened. The main street of the mine is basically the canyon floor and the oleander plants are everywhere lending a colorfully accent to this picaresque mining camp. The company building fronting on main street do not have regular doors, but rather water tight metal hatches that are found on compartments on naval war ships. Evidence of flash floods that periodically hit the canyon are everywhere.
