Derf's Grotto

Well howz 'bout this....just got an email from my travel company to visit China. Maybe I can tour the rare earth mines?

Have you heard? China has reopened to visitors, and we're thrilled to bring back our Wild Side of China adventure after a 3-1/2-year hiatus. Be among the first international travelers to return!

To be frank, you may hear "China" and think it’s not for you, if your impressions are formed entirely by news headlines. But I strongly encourage you to consider this trip, because it is one of the most special experiences we offer.
As a nature lover, did you know China is one of the world's most important countries for biodiversity and protecting threatened wildlife?

Deep in the Minshan Mountains of Sichuan, great rivers and gorges dissect lush forests that shelter some of the planet's most endangered species. This is the last wild habitat of the giant panda, which subsists on the bamboo protected within a network of remote nature reserves.

I still think they're referring to rare earth mines.
