Anywho..... Just finished a huge update I've put hundreds of hours into over the last 9 months. I digitized the entire "Gold Districts of California" by the California Division of Mines and Geology and created image maps of the entire map linking districts to district descriptions There are around 350 districts described:

Hayden Hill (which also has a lookout on it) at the time I worked in Bieber for CDF, (early 80's) was seeing a resurgence of mining activity.

Aaron, living near the gold country leads to interesting stories. I once camped at a co-workers property near Lake Oroville. There was an old air shaft covered with logs on the property. I had climbing equipment so we rappelled down the shaft. Much of the walls going down, about 50 feet, was quartz crystals. Once in the main shaft, we chickened out and never explored it.
I have heard of people that own property along the American River near Coloma being paid tens of thousands of dollars just to give people mining rights on the river within their property boundaries.
There are many mountain biking trails along the rivers. It is quite common to see dredges operating and people that are camping out, working their claim, waiting for that big strike.
Maybe you should come down here for a while. You could do a lot more beer inspired research!?

DD,nice work.A question,have you ever stopped at the visitor center at Kelso visitor center (Mojave persevere )
The Mojave is a long way from home so I haven't been there yet, but I hope to go in the next year or so.
