Marvin Your comment made me think of that one time traveling series. A group went back to the civil war and robbed a wagon train of gold with like automatic rifles or something. Haha it’s funny cause it’s like muzzloaders wouldn’t stand much of a chance.
The important part in this one is the “glade” of grass. This was their hangout. From where robbery happens at Pass Creek & Birch Creek, a little campfire is seen in the distance in a glade of grass. A Glade of grass is an open area of grass in a forest down by birch creek. Google earth finds the place.
Probably worth looking into old photos though. I remember looking at a geology survey report and it had an old century photo of a valley we graze cows in. You can tell how much the trees have grown over the valley and probably is why there’s no small lake cause lots of pines drink water. The forest service guy I remember hearing em talk about a lawsuit and they said they used the same photo I think with environmentalists to show to them that yes over a century ago the valley had dramatically less pinyin trees. Cause he had to argue that lop and scatter was restoring the land back to a more pristine or natural levels before human management changed everything especially putting out fires.
Oh anyways I say this cause if the forest has changed a lot from like aspen to pine etc it could change the water flows and the amount of grass. Thanks for the tip though I’ll have to download google earth again.
The video said it’s on private land. That’s even better. I remember googling taxes and I think Utah has an extra tax if you remove gold above 50,000 dollars worth but I think Idaho didn’t have an extra tax like that or maybe it was if it’s on state land there’s an extra tax. So if this gold is on private land in Idaho tax wise it’s better and you don’t have to hassle with the federal government if it was on public land. It’s why like gold coin hoards found in Kentucky can be publicly celebrated cause the government lets em keep stuff they find on private land it seems.
Thank you for another wonderful tale.
Our pleasure!
Great story!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great story from the past love it ⛏️🤔
