That's the way I like it!

This is the kind of thing you like to come across - none!!



Found that at Fordyce lake. Lots of jeepers out Saturday. Probably 15-20 trailers at Cisco Grove Campground alone)

A view to the east from Signal Peak:



A view out the old Southern Pacific lookout on Red Mountain (abandoned 1934):



The lookout itself:



The way out - from the lookout back to Signal Peak (no goat trail for me!)



If you've ever been up the Signal Peak road, you may have noticed what looks to be a mine on the east side. We took a hike to it - not much to see, it's been blocked off.

hey nice pics! glad you got to get out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow..been up there many many times...but never seen the mine.

[hemingray]

There's a reddish blotch in a sea of gray. You can see a little bit of a trail on the other side, it's a little hard to catch on the road side. This picture is taken from the last turnout before you start heading to the peak.

It's a really odd place for a mine.

Cool! I didn't know there was a mine there either.

P.S. - If you like exploring for mines, then Plumas NF is a good place to go.
There are so many mines that they actually paint signs on trees telling you not to make any more.

[hemingray]

If you drive up Bowman Lake Rd, there's a spot where it crosses a creek and there are numerous mining claim signs along the road. The name of the claim? "Not Likely".

I have to get up into the Plumas more. I also am intrigued by the amount of stuff to see down near Tonopah and whatnot. I gotta get out more!

Brett and I hiked out to those mines. But we didnt it in the ice and snow. I don't recommend it with snow and Ice. It could get bad quick.
