My boys and I went out to the Rinconada mine to stretch our legs and do some hiking. I decided to leave the "real" camera at home, since I didn't want to populate the Pac West forum with more of the same pics of the same old mine.
We did, however, stop by the house that's closest to to the mine and grab some shots. It's somewhat destroyed, but it looks like it might have had squatters or something living there recently. There is some random piece of mining hardware on the property, as well as an overgrown road that goes to the base of the processing site at the mine. This leads me to believe that it was part of the mine. All in all, a fun little jaunt with the kids.

2. Random bit of mining stuff that was in better shape than the stuff up at the mine.
