2012 Argentine Cleanup #1

[subzali]

Oh, and when we were on the shelf road, there were a couple folks passing by us, and when one of the TJs was passing by I suggested he should pull his mirror in, and when he did it broke off in his hand! The look on his face was priceless!

It just be a j**p thing...

Work, work.

Closing off a Atv user created route. Note the fine 3rd gen.

More fallen trees. Wind was harsh this year.

Water rights for Ameristar. Might be time to tighten those bolts......

Nakman post. Here he widens the trail for the Hundy (for some reason make me think of the Three Amigos). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzzMdT4cDCQ&feature=related

Leavenworth Creek fun.

Lunch time! Good thoughts on providing food for the clean up days.

Leavenworth Creek. Flowing a bit low this spring.

Good folk.

Word on the street is that there are plans to install a gate in front of Yoder's 4runnerbowdown to keep people from driving on the already closed road.

Good time for a break.

To do list for next Argentine outing: Hike to Sunset Peak and the Tramway House for sunset. You Tim, lets get those dates set!

Might as well take in the views.

Slacking on picture posting.

At the Santiago Mine. Note the blown off roof.

Looking out from the mine itself.

Looking into the mine shaft, blocked by snow.

Spotted a few other addits above the Santiago Mine.

Inspecting some mines above the rolled Durango.

And a good place for Yoder to turn around.

Note the steep angles.

Looking down on the Argentine Central Narrow Guage Line that climbs up McClellan Mt.

The rolled Durango.

Flowers starting to bloom.

A few more addits spotted across the valley.

Treeroot.

Checked out this addit that was on our side of the valley. Entrance blocked by snow.

Views.

I will get to that miners cabin this summer.

Yoder coming back down the side road of the Narrow guage Line.

And the Jeep that slid off the road. He felt it was better to drive around the snow bank than drive through it (there was already a track in the snow to use).

Rising Sun to the rescue once again.

 

[bh4rnnr]

Last few.

With trenches dug in the front, we hooked a strap up to the back with a few guys to keep the rear from sliding down.

Back on the road. Good job guys!

Traffic on McClellan? Nah, just the group backing down.

How would it be to see the Narrow Guag Shay Engines huffing and puffing there way up the mt?

Look forward to the next outing up there. Always a fun time.
