A picture is worth a thousand words

We had planned an anniversary picnic, but not being sure if we'd get rained out by the periodic and unpredictable cloudbursts (with beautiful sun in between) we instead explored old mining roads.



This one, as you can see, leads to a mining clam.

(rachelmanija, please appreciate the gratuitous antler on this sign.)

We did not bother the clams. At any point when we got the feeling we were heading onto private property, we turned around.

And sometimes we had to turn around for other reasons.
