In 2006, we met up with a few old friends: Bill C., Lewis, Cat, Micah, Snow Nymph, Desert Mouse, Dan, Brian, and family, for this hike to a forgotten and seldom visited mine camp. We stayed up a little too late the night before, having a good time and reminiscing, but everyone was smiling the next morning. What a great time we had on this trip!
