Mine Creek Update – Ironwood Trail Survives – For Now!

Thank you to all who supported our efforts in protecting our community and saving the historic Ironwood Tail. This is a testament as to what community activism can do; a lesson that sometimes-real people do win; people with no deep pockets, no political clout. What is next?

It is our hope that this vote will secure our future but only time will tell.
