Plomosa Mountain

Not far from our camp, and visible from the highway, we had noticed some prominent arches at the top of the ridge.

Wandering Willy and I decided to ‘wander’ over for a closer look.

Like a couple of mountain goats, we scrambled up the ridge and were able to make it all the way up to the arches.

Back at camp, we told Al, from the Bayfield Bunch all about it.

Later, I decided to have a look at it from the air!  Check out my first aerial video!

After earlier racing back into the camper to defend her turf from little Cora, Hailey was quickly becoming used to having a couple of dogs around.  But that didn’t stop her from fluffing up and hissing when they came close.

Here, Pheebs is letting Al know how glad she is to have become a member of the Bayfield Bunch!

As well as lots of historic mining evidence in the area, there are some signs of recent activity as well

Even the spiders were getting into the theme.

Another day I went for a hike up a mountain off the end of Yellowbird Rd, leading out of Bouse.  I could see a shack or two up there and wanted to have a look.  All the facilities were now abandoned, but it looked to have been a television repeater system to provide coverage in the Bouse area.
