Over the 4th of July weekend, my husband and I spent time at Big Creek. Last week I provided a write up; this week is all about the pictures.
 |
| The Big Creek Lodge is home to more than just guests. |
 |
| This bird had at least three little ones to feed in there. |
 |
| Some of the hummingbirds fought, but I didn’t get a good shot of that. |
 |
| There’s some baby birds! |
 |
| Old equipment up at Werdenhoff Mine. |
 |
| We only looked at the building from the outside. |
 |
| But a missing wall panel gave me a glimpse of the inside. |
 |
| And here, from the rear. |
 |
| The original rock-smashing machine! |
 |
| View from the mine down to a cabin that seems to be getting some upkeep. |
 |
| Ambrose making his way down from the mine. |
 |
| Just one big log was blocking the Smith Creek Cutoff Trail, close to the mine. |
 |
| Lots of bear grass growing this year! |
 |
| I’m not 100% sure what flower this is, but I like it. |
 |
| Ambrose found some bear sign – the rock got flipped to see if there were tasty grubs to eat underneath. |
 |
| Ambrose going down one of the cutoff trail’s switchbacks. |
 |
| This dilapidated cabin is next to the cutoff trail. |
 |
| An animal on the road – we didn’t run over it. |
 |
| We also managed to miss this deer 🙂 |
