Butte Store and more (Part II)

Our second day was just as full. Here is one particular Miwok grinding rock.

All around the grinding rock area were the manzanita copycats accept for the fact that their under bark was bright green. So cool.

This is the inside of a gigantic Miwok round house.

The Kennedy Mine had four tailing wheels (two still standing) that help carry the ore up and over the hills to the mill. This is the Kennedy mainframe looking through the tallest tailing wheel.

Sheep Ranch was cool. We almost crashed Allen and Allyn's reunion. The old gas station was a highlight.

A little closer to Yosemite is Chinese Camp. The main grouping of abandoned buildings were all connected to chicken coops. We were able to go inside some of the buildings.

Leggy picks stickers from her socks...a major theme of this trip.

Knight's Ferry was a nice surprise. We went to see the covered bridge, and discovered some fortress type buildings.

Mucky muck.

The bridge was covered to keep the wood from getting wet and expanding and cracking.
