Hi everybody and thanks for stopping by!
I got up this morning and headed to the post office to mail yesterday’s coffee roastings. I was in a hurry to return home as we were headed for the Gold Mine Trail and our neighbor Jan, who we haven’t hiked with since March, was coming with us! She had never been there so it was nice to share what we had found on our previous hikes.
Here she is next to the old safe that was housed in a building over 100 years ago.
We finally took a trail off to the side that I had been telling 
Here is a picture of it from a distance.
It was a fairly steep trail towards the bottom, and as I’ve said before, ‘grace is not my middle name’ so
Here is a picture of him taking a picture of us as I took a picture of him taking that picture. Are you confused yet? 😁
He did come out fairly quickly as he heard a noise from within the mine and I’ll admit to seeing Bear scat today so.......
We headed on to Cocoa Crossing and stopped for a bit. I did a photo shoot of 
We then headed up Jeff’s Lookout and the view was just as beautiful today as it was the first time I saw it some weeks ago.
We were working on part of the trail we had not been on before and it is essentially a loop. It took us to the 1891 log cabin that rests in an overgrown alpine meadow. 
As you can see, it was a beautiful and sunny day. They enjoyed the sun immensely!🌞
Alas, all good things must come to an end, for it was time to head back down. I took a couple of photos with the sun coming through the forest canopy.
I can say that I am bushed! The trail is a moderate hike, but does have some incline challenges here and there. You’ve got to be aware of the placement of your feet 90% of the time because of rocks, roots and creeks that you have to traverse. It was a fabulous time!😎
That’s gonna be it for now. Keep on
