B.R. Moon 1987 Journal 17 14 April Dorner's Camp and Bunny Club, Granite Mountains to Bonanza King Mine, Providence Mountains, San Bernardino County, CA. Bruce and I are tired of the mess and noise from the Cabrillo college class at Dorner's camp so we decided to pack up & camp at Bonanza king mine in the Providence mountains. First, we went to visit Ken Norris and the JESc field quarter students at the Bunny club in the Granites. They were going on small group hikes, looking at plants, animals, geology, and weather of the area. On our way to Bonanza King Mine, I noticed that the creosote bushes along Essex Road are beginning to flower. we arrived at Bonanza King mine early in the afternoon and after poking around the old ghost town, packed our backpacks and headed up Bonanza King Canyon. We carried ten buckets between us to put in as pitfall traps. It was a very hot hike with the weight on our backs. We the south fork of the canyon and less than 1/2 km south of the confluence of forks, climbed a steep, talus hill about 15 m high to continue up the canyon.
