Today's ride was a hike up Maynard Mine Trail. I haven't been there in a long time and since my bicycle is currently inoperable a hike was in order. The trail is in beautiful shape and the weather was perfect.

Yeesh. No matter how I rotate it, I can't convince my brain to connect the satellite view to the elevation profile. So were you ridge runnin or cliff crawlin?

Note to self: DUH! check the most excellent slideshow

So what was he mining? Was the white stuff dolomite, fertilizer, or something else?

The dropoff makes nice scenery there.
