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.
Total Miles for trip, 16 or 17 depending on who you ask. Elevation - Just over a mile at around 5400 feet.

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.
another view from my porch.. I also played around in photoshop some with this photo. wanted it to look more like a painting..
Bersham Mine was open the other day as I passed so couldn't resist the chance to pop in and have a wander round. So many photo opportunities here.
With the Mining Industry Booming at the moment, Pacific National, with its large fleet of locomotives and rollingstock still cannot cope with the pressure. They have done numerous things to keep up with the Industry. Buying new rollingstock is one.
This seen here is another good example. The last two Locomotives of this Lash up are on loan to PacNat from Chicago Freight Car Leasing Australia (CFCLA) with the PacNat 82 Class leading since they suite the crews trainings and needs.
Also, these Coal wagon once used to be Wheat Wagons. Ironically, the Wheat industry of PacNat is coming to a close (due to the draught) and lately they have just been transferring the locomotives and rollingstock from Rural and Bulk straight into Southern Coal!
So, in the next coming years (besides PacNat carbon footprint) we should see some interesting combos that occur in Coal train movements.

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.

The Postcard
A carte postale that was printed by J. M. Combier of Mâcon. It was posted in Provin on Monday the 9th. February 1920 to a young lady who lived in Nylen in Belgium.
Provin is a commune in the Nord department in northern France, and is about 1½ kilometres from Bauvin, which is about 17 kilometres south-west if Lille.
Enemy artillery during the Great War targeted churches, cathedrals and other tall buildings because of their value as observation posts. Shells aimed at churches which just missed their target tended to fall in the churchyards, throwing up gravestones, coffins and corpses.
'The Shell' by H. Smalley Sarson
'Shrieking its message the flying death
Cursed the resisting air,
Then buried its nose by a battered church,
A skeleton gaunt and bare.
The brains of science, the money of fools
Had fashioned an iron slave
Destined to kill, yet the futile end
Was a child's uprooted grave'.
The Svalbard Treaty
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, the 9th. February 1920 marked the date of the signing of the Svalbard Treaty. The treaty recognised the sovereignty of Norway over the Arctic Archipelago of Spitsbergen, including Bear Island.
The treaty regulates the demilitarisation of the archipelago. The signatories were given equal rights to engage in commercial activities (mainly coal mining) on the islands. As of 2012, Norway and Russia make use of this right.
Uniquely, the archipelago is an entirely visa-free zone under the terms of the Svalbard Treaty.
After signing the treaty was submitted for registration at the League of Nations on the 21st. October 1920.
There were 14 original High Contracting Parties: Denmark, France, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom (including the dominions of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and India), and the United States.
Of the original signatories, Japan was the last to ratify the treaty on the 2nd. April 1925, and the treaty came into force on the 14th. August 1925.
Many additional nations acceded to the treaty after it was ratified by the original signatories. As of 2018, there are 46 parties to the treaty.

Designed by artist, Yeoh Jin Leng, the sculpture entitled "Goodby to Tin Mining" designed with steel girds and a drive wheel depict the closure of the tin mining industry in the Kinta Valley, once the leading tin mining district in the world. The dredge buckets are depicted in reverse form to indicate the end of tin mining in the Kinta Valley.
Snowbird has a nice little area for kids (or adults) to try their hand at finding precious gems in the stream water. I didn't try it, but the kids that were working under this water tower seem to enjoy it!

The mining shaft has been bricked closed. Wonder if it was painted black for aesthetic reasons?...
One of the great pleasures of springtime for me is that as the weeks pass by, the season for different species of mining bees starts. After the absence of solitary bees during the winter, it such a pleasure to see them all emerging.
This is my first Ashy Mining Bee (Andrena cineraria) of 2014. This is a male. Notice the slim build, lack of pollen hairs on the hind legs and long white hairs on the face. This species often exhibits a bluish iridescence. This is apparent on the abdomen of this individual.
Many solitary bee species are perfectly happy being handled. When it's a bit chilly, it seems that they enjoy getting some additional warmth. This one took the opportunity for a bit of grooming. Male bees have no sting. Most female solitary bees have weak stings, but rarely use them.

Richard Trevithick (13 April 1771 – 22 April 1833) was a British inventor and mining engineer from Cornwall.[1] Born in the mining heartland of Cornwall, Trevithick was immersed in mining and engineering from a young age. The son of a mining captain, he performed poorly in school, but went on to be an early pioneer of steam powered road and rail transport. His most significant contribution was to the development of the first high pressure steam engine, he also built the first full-scale working railway steam locomotive. On 21 February 1804 the world's first locomotive-hauled railway journey took place as Trevithick's unnamed steam locomotive hauled a train along the tramway of the Penydarren Ironworks, in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales.[2][3]
Turning his interests abroad, Trevithick also worked as a mining consultant in Peru and later explored parts of Costa Rica. Throughout his professional career, he went through many ups and downs, and at one point faced financial ruin, also suffering from the strong rivalry of many mining and steam engineers of the day. During the prime of his career, he was a well-respected and known figure in mining and engineering, but near the end of his life and after he fell out of the public eye. Today, his legacy is mostly known to the mining, engineering, and railway circles.
