Golden show. Thanks kindly for sharing. Gold on.
Thanks for sharing these gems
This pit is exactly what another mine looks like called the “Lost Pitt Lake Mine” and in that case it too is a pit but is naturally formed by glacier headwaters. It is surrounded by high peaks with a little creek just like this one where the bedrock is exposed and full of gold. This can happen naturally in glaciers with ice melting.
Really miss this show

Yup…
The mosquitos are large there.
Yes, they take a chunk out of you and then sit up in the tree chewing and staring at you. It's the staring part that creeps me out!
