Wheeler Lake

The Mighty Red Chili and The Albino Rhino took advantage of a nice day to head up to Wheeler Lake.  The beginning of the trail goes under an old ore processing facility.

Up at the end of the road at Wheeler Lake.  We had lunch and enjoyed the view while some of The Mighty Red Chili’s passengers walked up to some of the higher mines.




Justin, The Mighty Red Chili’s pilot, at the entrance to a mine tunnel.  The tunnel still had rails and ties in it.

The tunnel went back about 100 feet, turned the corner, and then dead ended.

The Rising Sun 4×4 Club did a run up Redcone today in honor of 9/11.  A big group of us headed up the trail through some downhill traffic.
