04/12 - Black Diamond Mines

 



The hike didn't turn out the way I had planned, but the Wednesday group is adaptable and it was still a good day. The intent was to hike the River View Loop, clockwise from the first parking area. As you will see in the pictures the trail was a mess from cows walking in muddy soil. We were really tired by the time we had navigated the first mile from the parking lot to just past the old barn you may remember at a curve in the road. Conversations with a PG&E inspector and a park ranger convinced us to turn around and walk back along the road. That still gave us a two mile hike, but we were very lucky that no one fell, or twisted anything on the terribly rough trail.  We did see plenty of  flowers along the road, so it wasn't a total loss.
