got to tag along with the boys on this interesting and scenic piece of the sierra anchas
rocky drive to bull canyon trailhead, with a stop at an overlook into the coon creek ruins
took deep creek trail, then off trail across a mesa, which featured a tank and a corral
then along an old mining road to the two donna lee uranium mines
both shafts seemed in good condition
went in about 15 feet, but a funny smell and a lot of flies didn't entice me to go in further
on the way back, dropped into deep creek on a nice set of switchbacks
went down canyon about a quarter mile, where we found a 50+ foot dropoff with a small waterfall and a good sized pool at the bottom
no way to get down it without gear
found webbing anchored around big rocks with rap rings so someone has done it
had lunch here and had to be content with looking down deep creek canyon at the spires and hoodoos
it would be way cool to go down there
headed back up and out
very nice day for this, in january no less
had fun exploring with some pretty good guys
nice to meet varmit (tim)

and see the others again
thanks for including me in this one!
now i have about a dozen more hikes to put on the list

will adjust stats when other tracks are posted
