On Friday, Monique and I went on a really fun and adventurous date to Black Diamond Mines. We Arrived a little before 4 and explored around the main facility before blazing trails and running down crazy embankments. After finally making it to an actual trail, we ran into a large entourage that were "taking pictures for a catalog." Yeah right! They were shooting film, and we KNEW they were lying.... all lies!! From there we headed up the mountain with the goal of making it to prospect tunnel some 2 miles away. Yeah... we instead decided that we didn't want to hike all that way with our limited amount of time...
... so we decided to hop a barb wired fence and had a lovely picnic here! I totally spaced on taking a picture of the remarkable view from there but trust me, it was pretty phenomenal.
After a yummy lunch with egg-shaped sugar cookies we decided to head back down the mountain and check out the cemetery. Before we left we stopped and snapped a couple of shots of the beautiful view from the top.
As we got near the cattle gate, Bessy the cow decided that she didn't care for us much. She (a fatty fatty cow) first climbed up onto the road we were walking on and stared us down. When that didn't stop our advance she retreated to higher ground and proceeded to give us the most evil cow-eye I have ever seen. Evil cow!
We survived that encounter and made it to the cemetery. We noticed the "catalog shoot" (liars) had moved locations and we attributed that to them realizing that we were onto them... The cemetery was pretty cool but also sad because the majority of the people buried there were just kids... Came across a "Davies" there and I have been meaning to ask Emily if she is distantly related or something. From there we hustled back down to the parking lot and sped towards the exit. I kid you not, the park ranger came and locked the main gate about 30 seconds after we made it out. That was CLOSE. haha We headed back to esaclon and watched "New in Town" and spent the rest of the evening talking to each other with a Minnesotan accent. Not gonna lie, it was hilarious at the moment. haha Made it back to the house about 10 minutes before Adam and Liz arrived, and then crashed after a very fun, adventurous, eventful, awesome day. :)
