Thanks for all the positives. I feel blessed to live here, this state may have it's political and financial problems but I tend to ignore them living in my own world here in the canyon. Plenty of fish and game from bear and salmon and everything in between.
I have found a few artifacts, nothing of value. In addition to being located on a historic townsite the property is adjoined by over 5000 acres of BLM land and a large number of gold rush era hard rock mines. Here's another view of the creek downstream from the beaver pond in the first shot.
