Both are former mining camps. The road above Barron to Windy Pass was closed off by a truck parked crossways on the rd, apparently to prevent looters from disturbing new mining developments going on above. Drove down to Mazama & backup Early Winters Creek to a point just below Liberty Bell and Early (7740) Winters Spires (7807). The road is closed above this point but is nearly ~~pleted~~ to Washington Pass (5250 ft.)
