I think those are mines. Maybe Ze knows?

I link from Picassa and there is an option when embedding the link to SGMDF (see photo below).

As for the caves I climbed up there and they are little more than divots in the hillside, if they were mines they have since been filled in. Kind of cool looking from below though.

Aye, the 'different size' option on the site.

The way I do it is I resize my photos to 30% their original size, often resulting in an image about 640x480 pixels. When uploaded, this takes up less space and is always an acceptable size for pretty much anyone's monitor.

Isn't Cucamonga nice?

I believe the holes are mines. There are some of copper mines in the area but I am not sure if these are them... The lower one isn't very deep I never climbed up to look into the upper one.
