Inside the Sandstone Castle

We made it to the Arch Rock, The
Pedestal and
on around to the Sandstone Castle which most
never find, but we did. |

Rodger waiting for the others to make
their
way down through the briars and thicket on
our way to the millstone location.
This was NOT easy! |

Arriving at Millstone Falls |
This is where we would search for the
millstones.....with not luck? |

The pool was clear enough to see the
bottom |

|
![](1016315_793843030629400_626885398_n_small.jpg)
We searched the hillsides |
![](1654302_10151969186921099_887678250_n_small.jpg)
Our underwater camera revealed no
stones |

Takagnome marks the spot where one
millstone used to be located. |
![](3-20-04richla2_small.jpg)
These are the millstones we were
looking for. |
![](DSCF2213_small.JPG)
This is the location the other
millstone found
back in Feb. 2012. |
![](DSCF2215_small.JPG)
After spending time searching the
bottom
of the creek and the surrounding hillside,
we gave up....no millstones.
We will do more investigation and hopefully
find out where the millstones went?????? |

Making our way back up on the trail on
the
west side of Big Devils Fork Creek and
heading to Hill Cemetery. |
![](DSCF2220_small.JPG)
Made it! |
![](DSCF2222_small.JPG)
We sent Rishubh and Kyle up the
road to get a couple of our vehicles.... |
![](DSCF2225_small.JPG)
We would rest a bit and head on up
Hill Cemetery
Road and catch our rides. |
![](DSCF2224_small.JPG)
OK, rest is over.... |
![](DSCF2229_small.JPG)
We make it up Hill Cemetery Road and
we see one vehicle |

We saved about a mile of uphill
hiking...
thanks to Rishubh and Kyle.
We were pooped!!!!! |
