This was a very fun trip and I hope to do it again next year. As a member of the Peninsula Wilderness club for almost a year now, I still had not gone on any outings with them. This all changed on this Sunday as 3 other members and myself did the "Koski" Loop. This loop is un-officially named after one of the members that first suggested this hike to the group. The hike starts at the Tubal Cain trailhead then veers off onto the Tull Canyon trail going to its end and eventually going off trail at its end climbing up to the col or saddle between Hawk Peak and Mount Worthington. Once on the ridge or col, travel northeast on the ridge until you reach the top of Hawk Peak. After summiting Hawk Peak. Make your way down towards Silver Lake which is visible from the ridge onto a faint boot path which is also visible from the ridge and through a large scree field until you reach the lake. Once you are at the lake, head on to the Silver Lake trail and follow it up the ridge between Welch Peak and Mount Townsend. For a quick summit bear right or south for an easy scramble to the top of Welch Peak. After Welch, head back down the ridge to regain the Silver Lake Trail and continue until you reach the Mount Townsend Trail. Take a left or west, going uphill towards Mount Townsend following trail until you get to summit. From summit going north, trail becomes the Little Quilcen Trail Continue downhill to a junction veering left and staying on ridge. This trail is also known as the Dirty Face Ridge Trail. Follow steep downhill trail until you reach the trailhead at road. A short walk downhill returns you to the start of the the hike.

Sand Mining---Sand mining activities, a tradition spanning many decades, in Tugumukti village, Cisarua, Bandung, West Java, Indonesia, 7 September 2011. The hills of Cisarua hold great potential as their sand is of very high quality, so much so that illegal mining activity is threatening the destruction of the ecosystems of the hills. Seeing as it is their only means of income, something must be done to prevent any further illegal poaching from occuring.

Tablet showing the mining camps in the Pittsburg-Weir Coal Field Miners Memorial in Pittsburg Kansas. The Miners Memorial celebrates and preserves the rich mining and immigrant history of the deep shaft and strip miners, including auxiliary workers, in the Weir-Pittsburg Coal Field located in Cherokee and Crawford counties. Each of the names carved on the tablets worked the Weir-Pittsburg Coal Field located in Cherokee and Crawford counties. The area would be home to over a hundred camps but only a few became towns and cities.
Full tubs of coal arrive at the pit head from the Lady Victoria coal mine.
From here they are weighed, washed, graded, and sent to the underhill.
Virginia City is a census-designated place (CDP) that is the county seat of Storey County, Nevada. It is part of the Reno–Sparks Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 855 at the 2010 Census.
Virginia City is one of the oldest established communities in Nevada. Like many cities and towns in the state, Virginia City was a mining boomtown; it appeared virtually overnight as a result of the Comstock Lode silver strike of 1859.
At its peak, Virginia City had a population of over 15,000 residents and was called the richest city in America. During the 20 years following the Comstock success "about $400 million was taken out of the ground." Most of the miners who came to the city were Cornish or Irish. In 1870, Asians were 7.6% of the population. When the Comstock Lode ran out in 1898, the city's population declined sharply.
Virginia City could be considered the "birthplace" of Mark Twain, as it was here in February 1863 that writer Samuel Clemens, then a reporter on the local Territorial Enterprise newspaper, first used his famous pen name.
Many locals work at the shops in town that cater to tourists, while others seek jobs in the surrounding cities. Virginia City draws over 2 million visitors per year and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

There are quite a few of these around locally. Male Andrena mining bees can be notoriously difficult to identify but the small size (~9mm), the black facial hairs, the time of year and the fact that there are lots of female Andrena bicolor about, suggests that this one is a male of the species.

The coal mining risk assessment includes an assessment of the Coal Authority Mining Report. The fundamental purposes of the coal mining risk assessment are to identify the risks of coal mining at the development site. The Coal Authority is a legal consultant for any planning application within a High-Risk Zone. Also, a visit to the offices of the Coal Authority to assess mining plans, a review of modern and historical published geological maps, and a review of technical reports/memoirs. For more details, kindly visit-https://www.earthenvironmental.co.uk/coal-mining-risk-assessment/

Protests in Bucharest against a new mining law that is considered profoundly anti-consitutional by the protesters. A crowd of around 400 people gathered in front of the Parliament building in Bucharest, and protested for around 3 hours, and then around 150-200 protesters occupied the People's Attorney office (in downtown Bucharest) for around 4 hours. Meanwhile, the new mining law was voted upon in the Chamber of Deputies. Finally, the law didn't pass, because the number of voting deputies was too small for this organic law to pass.

The mining shaft has been bricked closed. Wonder if it was painted black for aesthetic reasons?...
The Black Hills were part of the Great Sioux Reservation, so no local white government was in place. Prospectors followed U.S. tradition, setting up a system of mining districts. A party of miners determined the borders of their district and chose a recorder to register claims. They met as a body to create rules, hold court, and enforce the law. Mining claim book, French Creek, ca. 1877.
