My niece used to work for the Forest Service in the Cascades as a cartographer. State of Washington. It would be nice to meet a whole bunch of you guys out there. If I were a millionair I'd fly you all in to California and we'd have a party at Jed's dig site.

I have a gold claim in the Middle Santiam area and you would be welcome to visit. But I will tell you straightaway that Jed's claim will have a bunch more gold on it lol. Visiting Paxton would be a fun thing to do down the road. Kinda depends on the price of gas etc.

The Paxton hotel is quite a place. However, it's privately owned by a group of people who rent it out for parties and also the cabins. They come out from the coast on weekends to party. Over looks the Feather River. When my wife & I stayed there in 2015 for a month it was one big party every night LOL. There was an old timer who lived there full time in the cabin next to ours and I swear he was related to Whiskey Jack. I never saw him without a drink. There was another guy who lived full time in a cabin behind ours. I had to go back there to borrow an extension chord one day and outside his door whiskey bottles were piled head high and i'm not exagerating. They would let us go into the lower side entrance and use the laundry room. We got a tour of the old hotel and it was right out of 1930. Elektra Records leased it in the early 1970's & sent some of their artists there to relax and write music. Jackson Brown used to live there back then. Story goes he got into an argument one day and hitch hiked out of there on RT 70. The place is also haunted.

Gold Seeker posted the link to the correct area. I would have responded sooner but I was taking a nap. Sorry.

   Congratulations Jed - you just turned 100,000. Who would have thought an old miner like you would be so interesting?

That sounds like an interesting area. The search is sometimes more fun than the find. Best of luck.

Were there some good gold strikes in that area?

As someone who works in the entertainment industry, copyright law fights can be as brutal as mining disputes. Before this made into anything that makes money best to contact a copyright attorney to make sure everything is above board.

Done deal.
