Seven of us set out for Blindman’s Bluff. We went in from Lieshman’s Road instead of the regular way on the Copperhead logging road because of the washed out culvert. The forecast sunshine failed to show up, but the overcast was high enough to give us some peeks at the surrounding mountains. The moss and lichen were wonderful. On the way back, the group decided to take the regular trail and look at the washed out culvert, the new and improved beaver dam, which replaces the one that broke, and also visit the copper mine site. 5.3 km; 2¾ hours.
