Back in Black

The Wild dani (that's the latin name for it) and Legs and I went back to Black Diamond Mines in Antioch because we were burned the first time looking for Prospect Tunnel only to turn around several hundred feet from it's opening. But this time we were determined to find it. (and yes, I forgot the flashlight as usual)

These mine birds were very cute until they decided we were scary and all five of them flew haphazardly out of the mine straight into our faces.

We walked in all 200 ft with out a light...there was barely enough coming in through the opening.

Legs went back to escort the dani

Then we saw a little coyote

who went here for water.

The Star Mine. Ooh la la. (Please check this ooh la la wiki entry. Just do it.)

Later Legs grew a snow pea mustache in the cemetery.

Oh, we did find "Jim's" Place and I think that the park service is making up lies about it being cool so that the air shaft attraction nearby gets more visitors. Boo on the backwards map too.
