Getting organized at the trailhead- Note the tailings from the placer mining operations.

Impressive Poorman Creek flow

All along the trail, the trees and rocks were covered with moss

South Yuba River. "The refreshed river hissed" - Annie Proulx quote from "Barkskins".

McGilligan Creek

This creek crossing the trail seemed like a good time to head back for lunch


Every trail has to have an obstacle

Warning as one enters Washington

The Washington Hotel, where we relaxed for lunch

The hike leader bellies up to the bar in the Washington Hotel - the Bitch Creek dark ale is recommended
