Road Trip Part 7 - San Javier, Sonora

San Javier is an old mining town and there are still active mines around the area.  We noticed lots of what looked like small family operations going on in the hills and there are also large company mines.
Sonora has large deposits of many ores/minerals of which copper and gold are two.
We wandered around a bit, talked to a few people and just sat and relaxed in the plaza.

Nice new benches being installed in the plaza.  They were in the process of fixing up the plaza.  Each of the 3 backs on the bench depict a different process in the old time harvest, cutting it with a scythe, raking it and gathering up the sheaves.  Neat benches; although I expected mining depictions rather than harvesting ones when I first went to look at them.

Small operations.
