We visited a quaint little gold mining town in the hills above Lakeside, called Julian.
It was very chilly that day, so our tour started in their shop
where they have a collection of beautiful stones and gems.
We entered the old Eagle Mine here to begin our tour.
Our tour guide is giving some last minute instructions.
We traveled for several minutes inside the mine. This fence seals off the old mine shaft.
Here we are in the old hoist room.

The Eagle Mine connects with High Peak Mine as the tour proceeds.
Rorie peeks back through the mine exit.
The old mining town relics were almost as much fun as the mine.

Julian is now famous for it's apples.
This is a famous Julian crumb topped apple pie.
Yes! Worth the trip up to Julian!
We finished the day at Rorie's art class.
This is her most recent chalk sketch. It is
a bunny under a bridge near a stream.

THat is a cool old mine. The apple pie looks really good too! I am glad you got to go visit Jakie and his family.
