01. Red Xs show Hwy 26 turnoffs; hi-lite show trail hiked. Left a car at Salmonberry and then drove to Belding to start the hike.	02. Saddle Mountain maybe	03. Emily Parker in front of 1925 Bridge with tunnel beyond
04. Gathering to hear about railroad technology	05. Scott, Joe, Emily, Paul, Jack, Jeff	06. Jeff hefting one of many big pieces of metal we found
07. The Salmonberry River	08. Segmented worms that Paul found	09. Deep shade in the Salmonberry River makes the crystaline water almost disappear
10. These are alder trees, but we saw plenty of Salmonberry bushes too	11. Clear water, many pools	12. Emily, Jack, and Paul, with another piece of railroad
13. A skull. Paul says the many fine bones mean this is the nose end	14. Brain stem end. Possbily elk	15. I love to see how the bones of the skull are knitted together
16. A little green worm	17. Oil on the tracks arranged in a wave pattern	18. The town of Enright. No road access except railroad
19. A lizard. Did Paul call it a Dragon lizard	20. Water tower, no longer in use	21. Emily went up and in to verify the details
22. Joe found 2 of these walls, all that remains of an old wooden box car. Possibly rolled into this position next to the tracks to become a building	23. Plenty of rapids	24. As well as plenty of clear water pools
25. Jack found many greasers. This one is intact	26. Box is full of grease, hoses carry it to tracks to keep wheels from squealing (and wearing) on the curves	27. Wheels press the nubbin, u-joints rotate the rod to trigger the grease pump
28. 1922 bridge. Many bridges, only a few had superstructures	29. Oh Look! It has a ladder!	30. Scott on top

34. Joe and Scott had to explore too. Several engines	35. A load of lumber coming from the coast	36. A little engineering analysis of the parts
37. The coupling	38. This bridge had a ladder too. Emily and Jeff	39. Then Paul went up. I feared we'd have the whole crowd up there for a photo, but the day was getting late so we didn't have time...
40. Took many more hours to get back to Belding to pick up the other car
