Trail Run: Rattlesnake loop

[Mitch]

Roger asked if I would do Rattlesnake today with him so that he could take his sister from the bay area and LeAnne out for the day in the Jeeps. I know this sounds silly and I've said it before, but this was one of the best ever runs! We had no schedule, went slow, explored new things, saw nobody else for 6 1/2 hours on the trail, incredible 78' day with not one cloud in the sky. I also added mine tunnel #96 and #97 to my list. So close to the magic 100 mine tunnels entered.

Thanks Roger, LeAnne, and Sharron for the awesome day!

All I said was who likes marshmellows?



Nice bug just left of center



LeAnne at the miners rock cabin foundation



Cave across from the rock foundation (Never noticed this before)



100' mine tunnel just past the rock foundation in Rattlesnake Canyon





I had to tease Roger by driving his next Jeep up Mottino a little ways.



Mining Camp at upper end of Rattlesnake Canyon





Over 100 Canadian Geese over head. I really need the big telephoto lens for this.



Rose Mine area





Incredible colored tree on 3N03 in Cactus Flats. Loving my new camera!!!!

Wow! looks like an awesome day. Where was Roger? It's not like he is working! :wink:

[Mitch]

Oh yeah Roger was there all day Mike!

Hey Thanks Mitch for joining us. Jeepin' going to be different for me after you move. :sad:

Yep, it was me and the Po' Boys last Jeepin' adventure. I sure learned a lot from him.

Mitch,you will sure be missed around here. Yours and Rogers trail/run reports motivate a lot of people to get out and explore.

Thats a really nice YJ you picked up Roger. Anytime you want to do some exploring let me know. My Brother and I are out most weekends doing pretty much the same type Jeepin you and Mitch have been doing.

...Anytime you want to do some exploring let me know....

That's good to know Gary. We'll have to put a run together.
