Calcite Mine Slots 12/19/2022
From the parking lot our shortcut down to the road.
Even here are some flowers, sometime.
Calcite mine road.
In the canyon.
Canyon changes into nice slot with some obstacles so Wit and John will separate from us here.
Waterfall ahead.
More fun obstacles.
Cool.
It gets narrow.
That is fun canyon.
It is easier with no backpack.
We cannot climb this one. No handholds anywhere.
This is our bypass way out.
Almost out.
Mine ditch. Calcite was a secret weapon in WW2.
Alan and Larry are going up to Palm Peak so we are splitting into three different groups.
Hersch and I are climbing little spot el. 1122.
Calcite vein.
Enough exploring. We are going back into canyons.
Looks like the ‘Scream’ picture rock.
Another nice canyon.
Tall and narrow.
Just change color and we are in Antelope Canyon AZ.
Sides are ready to fall.
This one did.
Place to be.
Since I cannot climb it up in 10 seconds I have to stay down.
We are all back together. Nice day.
Getting ready for John’s Hiking Society presentation.
It is Mike 600, Wit 1200, Larry 400.
