We started up U.S. Basin which is usually a pretty easy drive.
Stopping off at an old mine operation:
Mackie finds an old oil can inside the shed:
Back on the trail and going up, Doesn't look so bad in the picture, but this is one of the most difficult challenges I have ever driven: snowdrift on the passenger side, about a 4-foot drop-off on the driver side. Jimmy had to get out and spot me. I was pretty sure we wouldn't fit without tipping over:
Close as I could get on the right; but managed to keep the all the tires on the trail:
Looking back; we made it:
Nice drive thru Brown's Gulch
Checking out another old mining operation:
We were headed toward Iron Town but encountered a snowdrift that we couldn't clear, so we went back out on the Hwy and turned off on Jim's Curiosity aka the Silver Crown/Silver Cloud mining operation. Once again, we were stopped at the waterfall. Jimmy wanted me to drive across it, but I felt that the volume of water was way too much to cross. Will come back later after some more of the snow has melted and the falls calms a bit.
Jimmy was sitting in the backseat & snapped this pix of Mackie in the side mirror. She looks like she might be thinking "What have I gotten myself into?" Or maybe, she wanted to cross the falls?
