We started up Humbug Creek
Which entailed several creek crossings
Hiking through the woods
Finally, a bridge - but there was no creek under the bridge
The group takes a break
White Ceanothus along the trail
And blue Ceanothus
At the overlook we stopped for lunch
Looking into the "diggins" pit
Lunch break
Our hike leader, Jim Fisher, gives us some guidance
Dan surveys the diggins
We are at one of the tunnels that drains the pit
Dan explores the Miller Tunnel
A pond in the bottom of the pit
The group in the bottom of the pit
There are spectacular formations visible from the pit
Hiking back out of the pit, we pass old pipes that fed the Placer mining water cannons
