[QUOTE="ozziii, post: 300037, member: 3482"] Back in the day my Grandfather had land up in the gorge, leased I think, across from where the big parking area & park is, they had a cabin built from river rock, this was well before I was born in 1972, think my dad was only a young teen maybe.(born in 48). My grandfather had a gold mine there but I have only been to the cabin site along time ago but its very hard to see any remains now I'm told. The mine was up behind the cabin somewhere & had an entry near the river. I was born & lived in the Marsh for a bit here & there & can remember riding along the track on the other side, back in the mid 80's, & seeing what looked like a mine/cave entrance in the rock face, didn't take much notice at the time because I didn't know Pa had land & mine there. There was another entrance but dad told me it collapsed years ago. Seen a few different looking places that looked like mines. That sand quarry was there when I was a kid, its alot bigger now though.
