  • We head off on a excursion miles into a vertical canyon, deep in the California wilderness in search of a long lost canyon claimed to be one of the richest placer deposits in the mother lode region! There was once a entire city and over 5,000 miners working these hills and the rich alluvial deposits abundant high and low.. No roads in or out, only a historical pack mule trail hardly maintained.. What will we find? Better grab some popcorn and come with us to find out!
