The trail had been cut carefully and evenly to afford firm footing and yet it w ound intricately between the nearly perpendicular walls of the ravine and the bed of a small cascading stream. A horse or mule could have maneuvered it easily. The trail was built up in places by carefully fitted flat rocks where pale green moss was grow ~ ing in the shaded dampness. The trail was not easily visible from the-main river trail, so well did it curve with the stream and blend with the rocky ravine. The two miners who traveled thetrailhad built it after finding a flat benchland of several acres opening out at the head of the ravine, At first they mined the little stream, digging under the banks and into the crevasses. They took the grass out by the roots and examined them for flakes of gold. They were thoughtful men and they replaced the grass; they replaced the stones and boulders and in their searching they eventually cleared the ravine of debris and the little stream splashed and sparkled down its cascades and fallsto Bear River. When they discovered the meadowland above the ravine the miners decided to build their cabin there, finish working the stream and then branch out into Bear River again and its other tributaries. Their first winter was mild, They had very little snow andthe small stream yielded well when the major rivers were swollen and wild. The cabin was built close to the northern boundary of the meadow. This boundary was a high wall of granite from which the stream found its beginning. The men were able to pipe their water from high in the rocks with pressure enough to fill a storage tank near the house. They interrupted the stream in several places in its course through the meadow andthe three Janice The Masseuse Swedish Massage Penn Valley Marysville Highway Home Calls 273-8927 * LP & 45 Records honey’s record shop * School Supplies * Greeting Cards. *« Magazines * Sundries *148 Mill St., G.V. acres became irrigated fields.
