BWAC > After two hikers got lost on the Kek in October, I decided to hike it and see what the trail was like. Forecast was for rain changing to snow and 20 deg temps. I knew this could turn into dicey trip.

BWAC > Yellow grass contrasts with the carnage.

BWAC > History stop at Paulson mine. It amazes me how they hauled gear for mining all the way out here.

BWAC > Man made cut in the rock for the mining wagons.

BWAC > One of many puddles dotting the Kek on the way. Expect to get your boots to get soaked in spring and rainy fall.

BWAC > One of giant boulders dotting the charred landscape.

BWAC > Note the charred post. Sign has probably been replaced. No more signs for next 36 miles. McKenzie Maps provided me with indispensable set of maps for the trip. (http://www.bwcamaps.com/
