Notes: Went back to explore the area we hit previously to look for more treasure. We rode up to an old mining area. The closest I can see on the map is "Black Queen Mine." Some of the "caves" drop down what seems like forever. I dropped a rock in one and you could hear it tumbling on down for a LONG time. The chute has been boarded off as a warning. It's an interesting area - I'd like to learn more of how they actually mined that area. It looks like they cut narrow backhoe width trenches straight through solid rock with bottomless chutes here and there.
We left the mine and wandered up the wash. The horses spooked at an old ironwood snag in the middle of the wash like it was going to eat them. A bit further up the wash above us we spotted this monstrosity of a structure I can't even explain without posting a picture of it. From a distance it looks like a cool old burned tree. We rode up to it and found it to be a man-made sculpture. It has a wire base and frame all wrapped in pool noodles and paper. I have no idea how long it's been there or why. The first thing that popped into my head was a movie prop. Maybe...The weirdest part is the horses never batted an eye at it. Go figure
