So today started with a tour of Hycroft China, which was so exciting i barely slept last night. (i know i’m a super geek). I’ve got a ton of pictures to share with you but I’ll likely not do any commentary simply because it wouldn’t do the space/objects/history justice. I will entice you with images and suggest that you make the trek out here to visit and have the fantastic Mr. Aaron Nelson take you on a tour in the flesh.
