Williams Mine
The Williams Mine was
very hard to find, even though we were armed with Maps of the area, we
passed it about 3 times.
The old mine road leading from the main trial can barely be made out, but its
there, and once you find
it its very rewarding. the mine grounds are surrounded by 120+ year old ruins.
Including 3 mine shafts. The mine wasnt the biggest of them all, but the
mining methods and its remains are very interesting.
We came upon a mother bear and cubs during this mine hunt, as well as unusual
animal tracks and
sounds. The area truly belongs to the Bears and wildlife.
