At the top of Sierra Buttes, is this plaque, commemorating the incredible gold mining that took place in the area, with special note of a 106 pound nugget that was found here. Woah.
Up some very-steep stairs, you reach the tippy top of Sierra Buttes, where you find this rock, inscribed by miners during the gold rush.
Note the old-fashioned writing style!
OK, and here's the thrill (to put it mildly):
That there is a rattle, at the end of a looong snake. I startled it, and it scared the living daylights out of me. It slithered one way, and I leaped the other! Hubby had some warning (my scream), so he was collected enough to take this photo.

OK, so now I'm officially NOT jealous - those things scare the crap outta me! 'Specially when they're at your elbow, in a bush, when you walk by. Yuck!!!!
You're not kidding! I was shuddering the whole way down the trail.
Yikes ... I'm deathly afraid of snakes.
