Scouting Trip

Ward Mining Camp Bridgeport California Stamp Mill

Thank you, Kris and Steve, for joining me on my scouting trip. We made a loop from Bridgeport up Green Creek to Dunderberg, Ward, and Conway Summit.

This will be gorgeous in October!

At Ward, we tried to recreate a 123-year-old photo; it will take some playing to get it right.

We tried for Dog Town, but the road was marshy, muddy and deep with water and evidence of people getting stuck. Instead of the possibility of recovery, we opted for lunch at the Jolly Cone.

Goodbye, Momma Badger; she is finally going to the shop to repair the damage from the dust devil. She gets a total exterior overhaul, new windows, paint, trim and light and mirror covers. It is expected to take at least a month and all the parts aren’t even at the shop.


This is the first year our fruit trees produced and I am drowning in peaches and apples. Even after Kris took a healthy amount, I have boxes. I am peeling, slicing and freezing most of them to preserve them. I see peach cobbler, salsa and brandied peaches in our future.
