After reviewing my last exploration here and reviewing satellite photos, I returned to find more structures and the old tin mills Foundation. A great day of exploring and saw no one else around. Someone is working this claim at least occasionally as there was some modern gold mining equipment at the mill.

Did some extended exploring of this area. Amazing how many mines are hidden in these forests. Saw no one else in the area.

Great morning hike, lots of tree cover. Still lots of wet weather in the hills causing some wet creek crossings.

It took three days of exploring to find the correct access to this location. We never saw another person the entire time. It has been an extremely wet summer in the Black Hills. Green like I've never seen before. Weeds are waist high, concealing much. Wildflowers a plenty and its almost August, crazy ! Lots of back roads are extremely muddy or impassable.

This has been my favorite section of this trail so far. Very remote, great scenery. The first four miles was uphill. Once past that, we were cruisin. This was literally the highpoint of this trail 6480'. Just south of this point was a rest area trailhead "Dumont". There is a hiker/biker cabin for shelter with picnic tables if caught in inclement weather. Also a bike station with air and a variety of tools if needed, very traveler friendly. Pictures document side adventures. Segments 4 -6 southbound. Water available here also.

Completed another section of this trail. It's in amazing shape and goes into the Black Hills backcountry.

Had an excellent day exploring. An occasional whistle from the 1880 stream train that operates thru this canyon sets the tone for an enjoyable afternoon.

There was a rock and gem show in Rapid City today, perhaps that's why we were the only ones out here today.

A well cared for trail, used by few. If you are in the area and want to stretch your legs its a good little workout.

Today was part 2 of this hike. Visit the Adams Museum in Deadwood S.D. and see the original stone. Amazing that it was found and preserved.

Great time exploring this area few others check out. The inscription doesn't look like a picture I found from ten years ago. Thieves, vandals or nature ?
