115 Journal R.E. Johnson 1968 Nov. 1 Sagesen Cr. to Peavine Mtn, Nevada & Return (cont.) road that I had followed past the dome shaped reservoir to the "big shaft". The turn off is to the north down through the basin immediately behind an earth fill dam on Peavine creek. The road climbs up the other side of the basin & climbs the mtn via switchbacks to a point where [illegible] I could see the several vertical shafts that John Spencer & I had hiked to on March 10, 1968 (see notes). This is probably an easier route to these shafts than we had followed. Several other mining dumps & etc could be seen down canyon from these shafts.
