The next morning it was up bright and bushy tailed and ready for another trip up the mountain to Walker Creek.

As you can see we were all ready to go!

After a few gallons of coffee and a few breakfast bars, we headed to the designated parking area and began our climb up the mountain.

I hiked up with John D. and hung with him until the big creek....

Then that was the last I saw of him until I reached the mine.

When I got there, John was already scratching in a hole.
