Halfmoon Creek - Trip Report - 2011.07.23

[DrkZide]

Went camping this last weekend up at Halfmoon creek. Took the trail up to Champion Mill but didn't have time to tackle the North side. I need to swap the carb out to something that isn't so incline sensitive. Here's a few pics, sorry if some of them are at weird angles. They were taken on the fly. I've made all the pics clickable thumbnails to be more easily read.

"Base Camp"


Beginning of trail


First Water Crossing



About halfway up



2nd water crossing..... stalled towards the end here. Stupid street Holley



Met up with a Tacoma on the way up. Almost to Champion Mill here

Champion Mill......finally



And the video from the 2nd water crossing. I didn't get a chance to record the first.

Have they opened up the final 1/4m mile to the Mine? The few times I have been there the gate was closed and no vehicles signs were around and you had to hike the last bit to see the mine?
