It's all just sitting there waiting to be seen. as you can see the ten or 15 years between the pictures have made a big difference. the walls will remain for a very long time. But everything else will not last. Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.

from the cut you just wander through the rocks staying toward the right. from the cabin it is not far NW to get to a large pit area that was the mine. I never looked much farther as it is very rough country but as far as I know there is nothing else
Ah, we went to the left, not to the right after the cut. We did see the pit and then we went down the drainage from the pit and found the road again.

I was thinking the same thing. A bike can be a big advantage but it can also get in the way. I also like to carry a gun out there Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.

holcomb valley like all early gold areas of California were involved in the civil war. Gold was sought by both sides and miners seemed to be about evenly devided. Union flats was named in honor of the republic. Some mine names would reflect the allegence. Not far from where Cammy and R parked there was a siege and a battle that was attributed to the war. It was between two mining companies fighting over the rights to one area. I don't have the information handy but it went on for several days with those outside the cabin out numbering those inside. I believe it was finaly resolved when someone managed to sneak out and make their way off the hill to bring in the sheriff. If I find the story I will post it.

Happy 35th anniversary to my wonderful wife Kimberly. It seems like only yesterday. Alas, three beautiful daughters, three perky grandkids, what more could a guy ask for.
Thanks ATL, but I'm not really the backpacking type - too heavy of a pack. Several years ago I hiked Mt. Whitney in a day. About a month later, I backpacked up to Dollar Lake & then went to the top of Gorgonio the next day. That overnight trip seemed more difficult to me than the day hike on Whitney.
nice sunny.. i have grand nieces and the are a joy such sweet manners and just adorable to be around. they are 4 year old twins one takes after dad and the other takes after their mother
