      It's getting reclaimed pretty quickly... Just look at the Galena gulch area... Was dredge piles 20 years ago.

      @@FarFromOrdinary It’s the only realistic way of looking at it. Breckenridge would not exist, had it not been for its mineral wealth. As a former miner, These are the truths of how these areas were settled. There were no “artist communities” please show a bit of respect to our Colorado histories. Instead of woke moralizing messaging. You must be from California.

    Keep going up from jesse and you can see Preston. I work in the tiger dredge piles today.

      Bet I have 3 to 5 years tops before it's pretty much done and reclamation can start

      @@FarFromOrdinary I got an 844 deer... Ain't no thing! Picking through the fill dump pile to get all the trash out is a pain though... Found some old ore cart rail the other day though!

    downstream from Central City. the river south from Lake Dillon is merely remade and shifted to one side... 14 million $ later... financing the boom town we know today as Breckenridge Co

    The good old days when the United States was United and of the people, for the people was it a truly free country. Only a dream today to be able to go and blaze trail like that and build a home the way they use too.

    That mining was responsible for the development of the mineral districts up in higher elevations of Colorado and other Western States. Great content but lots of “They raped the lands moralizing” ignoring these area’s history.
