My Girlfriend has been bugging me to take her out rock hounding. Today we started off at the Silver Reef mine, then ran up to the Lester Dale house.
From there we goofed around on various trails that headed West. One of them had a sign 4N15. We found a narrow trail that went up the north side of the Blackhawk area. We found a couple of mines, Metal "Stuff" etc.
This was the first mine we ran across. At one time somebody felt the need to put a door on it to keep people out. A couple of guys could open this up in a short time with shovels. Who knows whats waiting inside?
I was able to crawl into this one. I was not happy with it's condition so I only went in a few feet and turned around. I could see the tunnel went back as far as my flash light would shine.
Some sort of Ore loading station.
A hill thats had a lot of work done to it.
This plant is called "Desert Trumpet" and it grows in the same area where Gold is found.

On the way out we found a boat out in the boonies.Odd.
