I went on a long hike today with a pal, it was just the two of us because someone was sick and someone else was busy. We hiked out to the old tin mines. It was relatively flat for the bulk of it. It's kind of a funny feeling to see snow (well, sort of) on the ground and to be sweating so much. We started at about 12:30 and got back to car after 5:30, and we didn't even get to go everywhere we wanted to; only managed to see the north mine, gotta go back to see the south mine. That mine was so dark, it went back alot farther than I anticipated, but I had a flashlight. Seriously, why would you tag the inside of mine in the mountains. I saw a mule deer on the way up and, of all things, a javelina when we left the mine. After, oh, 7 miles I'm pretty tired and my ankle hurts... but it was worth it.
