| Little Church of the Crossroads in Lamoille |
 |
| Heading up to Angel Lake . . . Winchell Lake trailhead is straight ahead |
 |
| High up on a hillside above the road . . . we felt eyes upon us! |
 |
| It rained during the night . . . Now the sun is peeking through the clouds creating a nice morning glow |
 |
| Angels? No, it's just us & our shadows! |
 |
| Angel Lake is a glacial tarn and very picturesque |
 |
| We took a few back roads on the way home . . . dirt roads! Gold was discovered here in 1905 |
 |
| Don't you wonder how far back this mine adit goes? |
 |
| Kent decided we needed to stretch and get a little exercise! (Hey, Kent, you look a little sore) |
 |
| There were mine shafts all over this hillside |
 |
| Looks like a good place to escape bad weather . . . In fact, that's how gold was found in Black Horse . . . A prospector sought shelter under an overhanging ledge during a rain storm and, as they like to say, "The rest is history." |
 |
| Off in the distance are the mountains of the Great Basin National Park . . . They are obscured, as much of Nevada was, by the haze from forest fires |
 |
| These colorful rocks piqued Allison's interest . . . She decided this is where she would have started looking for gold! |
 |
| This little tree was growing inside the shallow shaft |
 |
| We visited the Black Horse Eldridge Cemetery . . . Quite a view and peaceful place to be laid to rest |
 |
| Ahh . . . so good to see blue skies near Milford, Utah |
