Did a trail run from our campsite up on Peewink Road. Decided to hit up two peaks, Peewink to the east, and an unnamed peak just to the west. Also explored an old mining road (332F) that eventually narrows down and turns into a trail.

BEWARE: Peewink Mountain has many old mine shafts, some of which are uncovered. I bushwacked to the trail and was surprised to find several of them, especially on the south side of the mountain. The brush is sparse enough that they are easy to spot and avoid, but there could be some unstable ground in places.

Also, the FS Road/trail crosses private property down close to Switzerland Park Road, and there are several "No Trespassing" signs. So I turned around at that point before reaching the road.

The unnamed western peak seems to actually be a rock outcropping much higher and further west than the USGS benchmark; will edit to match the approximate location and elevation of the true peak.
