Mining maddness at Slavin Gulch
Slavin Gulch was a fantastic hike yesterday. A scenic waterfall appeared every hundred yards, and of course the scenery was terrific. Kadizzle was mentally set for a harsh hike, but was pleasantly surprised to find that most of the hike was an old mining road. The road wound through some very difficult terrain. The Commander and Rodger made it all the way to the mining site and The Commander claims she found gold. According to the advance team there was a fairly significant operation at the top of the road with many punch holes and one large entry. Kadizzle would highly recommend the Slavin Gulch hike. History says Cochise moved his band into that area fearing an attack by whites at the Council Rocks site. Cochise had the best Indian site Kadizzle has ever seen, Cochise had it all scenery, water, protection, and a good supply of wildlife. You can see how it was easy for him to hold out so long.
Today the Earth Modules move to Patagonia Lake State Park.
