Ghost Camp, October 20th

This trip was supposed to be more interesting than it was due to the rain and just bad luck I guess. Weather forecast was not very promising although it said it was going to stop raining and clear by mid morning. As you can probably imagine, we met under the cold rain and it didn’t seems it was going to stop. Still, being adventurous as we are, we decided to take off and leave it to chance. After driving for about two hours, we found, almost by surprise an interesting waterfall. Although it wasn’t very tall, it was carrying a lot of water (rain maybe?). We took a short break to check it out and those are the only pictures from this trip. Then we continued to what we thought was the trail head. This is not me just making the story, we really thought it was. At this point, we putted all of our rain gear on started the ascend. The trail was not special at all (sorry Anna) because we never found Ghost Camp which is supposed to be really interesting with some old, abandoned mining equipment. The only thing that we had during the whole hike was the copious rain and the “Creek”. The Creek was interesting to see. With all the rain and water coming down the mountain, it was carrying a lot of water to the point that it looked more like a river with some very decent falls. The trail also became almost a river so on our way down we didn’t have a choice but to get wet. This four hour trip actually helped us test our rain gear and see how good or bad it is. It also made us thank for having car heaters!
