At the end of October I returned to he Cloverdale mine area to check out the lakes/ponds at the end of the trail and the old mine site that I missed last year due to the weather.
Lunch stop at Balman Reservoir on my way back down.
After this last visit I really don't see another need/desire to run backup into this area. While the mine and structures are neat the area is kind of blah to me and the road is one of my least favorites to travel (the reservoir area would be okay to camp at). Other than that it was a good day to get out.
