The Big Miner - Rubyvale

The last of the Big Icons in the Gem fields is the "Big Miner" in Rubyvale.

Rubyvale is an extra 10 minutes drive from Sapphire on a winding road. After passing an aggregate quarry and a farm with Camels I finally arrived in town.

The Big Miner is located outside Bobby Dazzler mine, in here one can take on a tour to have a look inside the mine (I am a bit claustrophobic so I gave it a pass) and get some souvenirs.

I was good to see that this Icon was really well preserved.
