After the Storm

A view of South Fortuna Mountain and Mission Gorge

There used to be a Gold Mine on top of the mountain that has now been filled in.
I've climbed on top and it's quite steep. They must have used mules to transport gear up and gold down.

The image above was taken for the Weekly Informal Challenge (Week 132): "Landscape"
