Alice and Yankee Hill

[vader33]

The wife and I went up to Alice to check out the remnants of the old mining camp that used to be up there. Didn't get a lot of pictures, mainly because there's not much left up there. I think maybe once it dries out up there I'll take a quad and go the rest of the way up Yankee Hill and get some more pictures. Anyway, enjoy.

If you're interested in old mining stuff up in that area, you should check out Ninety-Four. It is on the left turn dead-end as you start up toward Yankee Hill from St. Mary's. The trail goes through the old town and dead ends about a quarter mile out the other side so it's not worht much as a trail but the old town still has several building intact. The town itself is all private property so don't mess with anything

Cool pics, I love to go exploring the old mines, its in my blood having a 1 blacksmith, 1 gold & silversmith and 3 miners in our family tree, gee no wonder I have an addiction to working with metal.

That's where we were heading but I decided not to continue up bc i didn't want to run the risk of doing any serious damage to the truck. I'll be back up there though.

Barb and I have done our fair share of that Roland. The big disappointment is finding the town and seeing there's nothing left. Guess that's a good reason to check the date of publication of any book, stuff changes!

QFT.

The book I had was (c) 1998, and when we went to check out alice, all that was left was what I took pictures of.

One of my favorite books is Jeep Trails to Colorado Ghost Towns,

http://www.amazon.com/Jeep-Trails-Colorado-Ghost-Towns/dp/0870040219

It's ancient (like from the 1950s or 1960s), but the old pics of Brown and his military jeep are great. I don't have it handy now, but there are updates in the last sentence or two for some of the towns. Almost all of the updates (most of which are from the 1980s) say there's nothing there any more or the town is now home to summer cabins.

Gee, Chris...you sure you want to leave yourself wide open like that? It is all I can do to not start a LONG thread about what 'your issues' are....:lol::lol::lol:
