First trail run was Monday the 26th. We went up the main road to Animas Forks, checked out the old buildings, then stopped at the Frisco/Bagley Mill, then up Picayne Gulch.
The famous "bay window house" at Animas Fork:
Frisco/Bagley Mill:
A few pics from inside the mill:
The "Sound Democrat Mill"
Stamps in the mill (these "stamps" crushed the order to smaller pieces)
Flow of ore going to the stamps was controlled by these "gates"
Water tank?
Wilfley Table (used to separate minerals from the ore)
