We had a great first trip for the new year. Members Boots, Ajax, Buzz and HighTech and PCM's Patrick and Mina attended.
We were hoping on grabbing the Minnietta cabin due to the predicted Saturday rain but were too late. As it turned out the weather was perfect.
We were able to document a large number of mines and met quite a few miners and mine owners.
All and all a great trip. Watch for pictures soon.
