| partners | | | This was the second day hike for Grasshopper and I on our 6 day car camping trip to the Sierra Ancha. We had both been on the Lucky Strike TR 144 before but had never looked for the old Lucky Strike and Pueblo asbestos mines which were accessed by the old mining road which is now TR 144. These old mines date back to the first half of the 20th century. It was a productive day with finding a number of old mining adits and two massive old compressors used to power the pneumatic drills and jack hammers used in the mines. We also found springs (most likely perennial) used to supply the mines and a mining camp with water and the remains of the old mining camp. See the hike description for historical background info and more detail on our findings. |
