i think my father worked in Rock Creek in late 1950s. Probably a mill, i'm guessing. I guess not much to see now, but i was reading during the Goldrush years of 1859 and so on, there were later '' 23 permanent buildings abandoned'' after the gold bust. There was a nearby community of Riverside, those buildings long gone. So i was thinking, what the heck is in Rock Creek now?? '' Businesses comprise a café, two gas stations, a hotel, a motel, two souvenir shops and a campground. The hotel vies with the Leland Hotel in Nakusp for the title of the oldest operating hostelry in BC. The small settlement remains important as a regional service centre for the farming and mining communities''........ugh. Trying to imagine how in the late 1950s there was probably even less. Fun times!
