      During World War II, the U.S. War Production Board issued Order L-208 on October 8, 1942, which closed down the gold mining industry in the United States. The order classified gold mining as nonessential and required operators to immediately shut down their operations. After seven days, operators were also prohibited from using, acquiring, or consuming any materials or equipment for development work. Thank you for the comments!

    I guess higher ups have decided not to keep up roads making it very difficult to reach places you used to be able to drive to. There are two beautiful high mountain lakes/Twin Lakes on a trail right out of Monte Cristo. It's a bit of a climb and about 5 miles. But now with the road allowed to deteriorate, it's a 10 mile hike - more than a lot of people want to do.

    I take all my visitors here, the cemetery really adds a nice touch to end things, to see the graves of the people you just read about puts a very human touch on it all. After Molson I usually do a drive through Night Hawk and Loomis and backroads to Tonasket. Such a great area with tons of history. I'd like to include more local history in my videos but it really is hard work to edit everything together in a cohesive manner, I just don't have the confidence for it right now so hats off to you sir lol great video.
