Friday, July 3rd, HURRICANE, CALIFORNIA, MAGGIE

Today we were able to get all the way across Hurricane & California!  After a hearty breakfast at the Brown Bear, four Jeeps headed out Gladstone to make our way across Hurricane.  Sig, Denny, Hank, Brett, Alexis, Sy, Wayne, Beverly, Sue, Herb, Jim & I made up the group.  This morning it was quite cool; well it was downright cold!  Out came the sweaters & scarves.  

Passing mines along Cement Creek in the Gladstone area:

 Finally, on the trail to Hurricane Pass:

 Still a fair amount of snow on Hurricane & California Passes.

Great way to celebrate the 4th of July Eve:

 Lake Como still frozen.

Some of that pretty blue water peeking thru:

 On the way home, we did a side-trip to Maggie Gulch.

We were hoping to go back to the area where we lost a floormat in the snowdrift.

Snowdrift was melted, but someone had already found our mat.  

Sig & Alexis:

 Hank, doing his "Happy Dance":

Sig, Kathy, & Alexis: 

 

 Sy, exploring:

 Brrrrrr:

 Hank wants this stick baaaaad & Jim keeps teasing him:

 Ha, now he's got it and he kept running circles around Jim:

 Someone threw it into the creek, but good ole Hank found it again:

 Hate it when we have to share the road!

It WAS really crowded today.  

Probably our last trail ride until all the 4th of July celebrators leave.
