July 17, 2015 Remnants of the Elmati mine Old made mine 1.6 miles About an hour in about four miles in two hours and a half or two hours and 45 minutes in I'm at the junction to difficulty creek trail There's a real nice overlook finished Dexter trail which came up that valley right there There's the bridge of heaven There's the sniffles ridge over there Look on the trail There's a little baby quail There mom Okay, I'm at this saddle with the rock marker dated 1898 Views Views East to the cemeroids And this is the difficulty creek basin I'm going to take a wild guess and say that it was called disappointment gulch because there was no mining claims Here's my junction with the horse thief trail That means I'm on my last Third leg leaving the wilderness area And Uncascade pass here Getting west Getting west West West to the cemeroids West to the cemeroids East to the cemeroids West to the cemeroids West to the cemeroids East to the cemeroids West to the cemeroids I feel like I was walking through At full as miles Flowers These are the views to the south, into the west. And the trail goes along the narrow ridge. I guess that's the bridge part. Bridge of heaven. I just hiked up there and it's a dead end to get down on horse thief trail. Is this lower one? Heading down horse thief trail. I think this is the best view of Urey for this hike down through those aspens. The last mile or so of horse thief trail goes through this forest. So I'm off the trail now, but I still have about two miles to hike on this county road. Back to Dexter Creek and there's my Jeep. That whole loop took about 10 hours.
