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.
