On August 15th, I did the short hike between the Upper Jamison Creek campground and the park museum. Or, at least I started it; there was serious storm damage to the trail. Here are some pictures on the start:

My Dad, brother and I went on a hike to the old Jamison Mine, from which gold was extracted in the last half of the 19th century.

Storm damage evident on the creek. |

An old blacksmith shop. |

This is a press that broke up rock so that the gold could be extracted. |
There were several squirrels and chipmunks around and they were not afraid of people.

Right by our dining table. |

My brother and I scrambled up a pile of boulders inside the campground to get the views here. A good view, but see my Half Dome pictures from a few days later.
