GG very nice Pics. It must have been very difficult to be a miner back then knowing that you had to produce a good amount every day to survive. One of my favorite sayings while I am hiking out to a gold spot with another prospector is "at least we didn't have to walk 1800 miles to get here". Thanks for posting.
