Went out today near the area we were last weekend. More mud then snow, but still a good time.

Explored this old mine site.......

Moving along......

Went out yesterday to explore an old mine site. Weather was prefect and recent rains made the desert a beautiful green.

 

[JackA]

No tunnels to explore, just the ruins of the topside. The vertical shaft was really deep. The hoists were still in place, but the head frame had been knocked down.

The other remains including the head frame had been push into the canyon. I love the old riveted construction of the frame.

Great pictures! I miss Phoenix *every day*, the ability to go out and explore without driving hours and hours was something I enjoyed a lot when I lived there! I love Texas, but damn, it's 8+ hours in any direction to get out of the state and the amount of explorable public land in the state is negligible.

Went out yesterday and ran up Turkey Creek to check out the Thunderbolt Mine. The weather was beautiful and the creek had nice flowing water.
My LX would not shift into low range as the shifter was stuck, so I road with my friend.

On the way to the Thunderbolt mine.

Great views and even found this old Coleman cooler that has seen better days. Happy Easter everybody.
