Today we took a drive up Pool Table mountain, just outside of Creede with our neighbors Joe and Jan. This is a beautiful drive of about 10-15 miles up to a flat plateau that once houses the site of Hansom's Sawmill. Only a large pile of sawdust remains at the site of the mill.
I believe this is the pile of sawdust. I didn't walk out to check to see what it was.
The building is a restroom furnished by the government. There was a crew there to clean it while we were there.
As you can see, primitive camping is allowed for up to 7 days. The three trails leading off from here are Jeep or ATV trails. Since we were in Joe's pickup truck, we didn't try them.
This is what we believe to have been one of the last buildings from the sawmill. There were no markings as to what was there.
It was a beautiful day for a drive but on the way down, we drove down a dirt road for a short distance when a rain shower that just blew up came in, so we turned around and went back to the main road. We didn't want to be caught in a storm on top of the mountain!
There will be more stories and photos of the mountains, so stick around.
So long.
