We went here. There was a trappers cabin and a fun little trail. Kim found some shiny silvery rocks that she insisted were gold or silver and worth a lot of money.
We did a short hike that everyone enjoyed. The river valley was really nice.
We even did a little Jeepin' and found a rusty old pipe (surely not the Alaskan pipeline?).
On the way home, Ryan spotted this fun little shed next to a little outpost/bar/grocery store. It shows what avid sportsmen live around here.
Speaking of which, someone got a new gun today. Doesn't he look great? I'm biased, of course.
So although Kim got conjunctivitis (we had to go to the ER since the clinic was closed for Columbus Day, fortunately there was no line) which was bad and the day threatened to be ugly, it turned out to be a good, no make that GREAT, day.

A new gun to hunt and kill all that amazing wildlife up there! AWSEOME!!! That crazy shed its nuts, I bet it stinks like dirty men in there too! lol
I think that pipeline was a collection duct for an old hydraulic gold mining operation. They would take tremendous amounts of water, spray it all over the mountainside to wash away the soil, and collect the gold as it ran down in the runoff.
Kind of destructive, but it worked really well.
