Saturday was Get Outdoors Day and the guys went to work on the Paiute trail. While Caleb heaved trees out of the woods by hand, Chris applied RZR power!
They worked with Jim, the camp owner, and other volunteers building up a fence around a meadow.
There are some areas of the Paiute trail that are limited to 50” machines, so Chris and Caleb hiked up, up, up to the snow!
Back at camp, the foxes come out to play in the evening! There are at least 7 and maybe 8 kits that are living in the culverts.
It seems they’ve gotten big enough to spread out, two to a culvert, while they wait for mama fox to bring back dinner.
We’ve put on close to 400 trail miles, discovering old mining cabins dating back to the late 1800’s.
The mines were primarily for silver and gold, but this mine was for Alunite.
The stone archway still stands, although the roof has since collapsed. We were treated to an “insider’s ride” by the camp owner, Jim.
Caleb has been riding about 40 miles a day up to 11,000 feet elevation and his Honda 250 has been working great!
We’ve extended our stay from one week to two and know that we will return to this beautiful area!
