What day? what time? i have gone up to the Almaden Quicksilver Mine hiking spot that is at that 4-way intersection off of Hicks Road a lot. There are some great views of the bay area, as well as some historical building remnants from the 1800s and other buildings from the 1970s, not to mention a mike shaft that you can explore a bit. Never been to the top of Uhmanum due to the gate with the dozens of pad locks on them.
Because if anyone thinks they are going to be exploring this Mike shaft
They have another thing coming! I don't bite off fingers, I rip off arms and beat their owners over the head with the bloody stumps!
Other than that, I may be down to roll.

Damn it John, I hope that was a type-o and not a Freudian slip

lol yes that was a big typ-o. i meant to say mine shaft :E its def a cool place if u like the outdoors/scenery/historical shiz. there are 3 parking locations for the quicksilver mines. the best of them is the top one; at the top of hicks road. the other lots just have nothing but HUUUGE up and down hills and no cool buildings to see. the summit parking spot is already at the top so u dont have to do the climbing. there is a good 5-6 mile loop that i take that enables you to see 95% of the ruining buildings and views
That place looks sick!
I'm down for whenever, just give me a heads up so I don't go and get drunk first! I'll also try to drag Dave "hitMan912" up with me...that's if he isn't drunk too!

I'm interested, but not really into getting arrested for something like this.. anyone been up there recently and know how tight people up there are?
We could also check out Mount Madonna. See the albino deer (yes really) and the mansion ruins up there
I'm also kinda thinking about a Water Temple (awesome photos) -> Pioneer Saloon -> Applejacks run up HWY 84
