"There's gold in them thar hills!"
We explored Orofino Road near Oliver but found no gold mine as someone had put a gate across the little gravel road. But a one-armed prospector called Reed found gold there about 150 years ago, and the business lasted until around 1906.

They are wonderful views. It is an interesting history. I am surprise that they haven't revisited the gold mine area with new technology.
