Snow on Gobble


Another boiling hot oppressive day! This was just a bit earlier in the morning and limited to the destination of the Snow Mine on the side of Gobble Mountain in Chester. Gobble is a VERY steep mountain but fortunately we did not have to climb perhaps more than 500 feet of elevation. The mine is located right along trail side so not too much poking around - at first. But later on we sought out a couple of prospect sites nearby.

Silted in entrance to the Snow Mine

After looking over the mine, which at this point is basically a water filled hole silted in, nearby mine dumps and small cuts rounded out the exploration on this site. With the temperature climbing we made a quick descent to the comfort of air conditioned cars.
