A big limestone seam crosses the river here

Dayhike with Bonnie and Jean. We hiked on the Quarry Trail, where CA 49 crosses the American River. We hiked about 4.25 miles upstream on the Middle Fork of the American River.

Frank Farmer > Quarry Trailhead -- Near the American River on Hwy 49. Jean suggested we try this trail, which is part of the Western States Trail. A perfect fall day!

Frank Farmer > Intrepid Hikers! From left: Bonnie, Frank, Jean. Looks like Frank didn't focus this shot very well

Frank Farmer > Is this a castle? Nope. It's part of an old limestone mine. Previously, there were all sorts of converyors, crushers, loading areas, and even a railroad!

Frank Farmer > A big flat open area, by the old limestone plant and alongside the river. We're about 1.2 miles from the trailhead
