Hi Listers, My hubby and I bought property in Trinity Co. CA. in 1966 and it was smack in the middle of the Trinty National Forest. (USDA). It was 5 acres of the tallest trees (120 ft. +). And the straigest Pine/Fir trees around. Once a old lumber mill site, as I lived there 34 yrs, found an awful lot of buried history there. The mill began in 1850-60's and provided Gold Miners and other locals with construction items..in the last 4 years , have found a photo of the orginal site and what sat on my house land....the Mill collasped in 1960 and was taken down or buried on site..also, located on our property was the orginal Army road to the "Gold Country" of Denny, CA. , as the Army was protection for the loads going to the mines.. next to our property was a place called "the Wash", as when they "cracked" the holding pond, the waters carved a good 4 ft. canyon to get to the Trinity River below us...we used to fill it with stuff to build up the wash and help hold the hill together... our house sat on the "burner" site and we found many a broken gear wheel in our construction of the home.. ~Linda~ "Everyone must take the time to sit and watch the leaves turn".
