Went up Granite yesterday, for the 3rd failed attempt to peak it. Got to the final base of the summit on the ridge line. Perhaps next time. I'm 63 perhaps leave this for the younger folk.
Always interested when passing through the G Redman mines along the way up. Gus Redmans brother Louie
Redman was an Assayer out of Julian. Louie found the first quartz gold mine in Chariot valley, this is the valley at Banner. The Redmans owed most of Banner.
Gus Redman riding a coach. That trail up Granite took some hard work. Picture SD historical.
Here's his marker at the Redman mines.
And his Final resting place the Julian cemetery .
I find looking into history fun!
