Miners Creek/Oso/Rat
Creek Ride August 12, 2006
We had a great ride last Saturday. The weather could
have been a little better, especially towards the end.
However, nothing much takes away from the beautiful
surroundings. We started at Bull Dog Mine on Bachelor
Loop then up Miners Creek to Oso then to Rat Creek and then
down (and I do mean DOWN) to the Equity
Mine.

|
|

| Let's put
some back and muscle in it and get going. How long does
it take to move a branch off the road anyway
! | | |
|
|
 |
|
| t the heck

? Strangest mushrooms I have ever seen, if in
fact they are
mushrooms. | | |
