The Uinta Mountains in Northeastern Utah are full of mystery and intrigue.
Mosby mountain is near the Eastern end of this range. We believed it to be
one
of the key places to begin our search for the legendary Spanish and Rhoades
Mines.
These symbols were on the trail while traveling north from ice cave. This is how they looked in 1983-84. ( Most of these trees are gone now. ) |
The scar on the big pine tree was more than 2 inches thick. The trail forked at this tree, one continued north, while the other headed west.
|
As we worked our way west we came to the edge of the hill overlooking Whiterocks River. |
Here we found more symbols on trees.
|
Inside the box was an A, a large heart, and a small heart.
These led us to the oldest catface we had ever seen.
While excavating near the catface a soggy stick of dynamite was uncovered. However, It was unclear which direction the old tunnel went, so the project was scrapped. |
There are still plenty of interesting things to see on Mosby mountain.
