Mining equipment, Bodie, CA
This is a ruin of what appears to be a mine sluice. The sluice comes down the mountain and around the back side of the timbers. There may be an adit above the timbers, but I did not go to investigate. Or it may have been affiliated with the Kitty Mack mine that is 1.5 miles farther up the mountain. The Kitty Mack is marked on my topo sheets, this site is not.

Truly outstanding, Kirk.
Thanks guys. I love photographing on the edge of storms. Shortly after taking this I found a pure white chert perfect arrowhead that had been washed out by the previous days rain just off the walkway. I pointed it out to a ranger who said no one had ever turned one in before and graciously gave it to me.
Thanks,
Kirk
