Monte De Oro

was going crazy with this weather so I packed up my quad for a short ride to an area I was prospecting last week, took my camera this time and found an interesting place.
the old stamp mill for the Monte de oro mine

the second floor

compressor


and then riding in the area was very nice also
slapjack creek




road conditions were not the best

indian creek



It was a wet, cold trip but it was close to home and fun.

that looks like a cool spot and some mud is always a little fun
where is this place at if you don't mind sharing.

i have a problem with mud, i cant stay out of it. The first few puddles i dodge thinking, im dry and clean lets stay that way then i start just hitting the sides of them... and im sure you know where this leads to.

Those stamps must be out of the way, most got torn down and re-shipped out of CA.
