"ere formed 500 million years ago.There is always the chance that I will find some gold in my pan but it is not the reason I go to this place.I find peace here.it is a place I understand.it is the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder,it is the forests where silence has lease;......it is the beauty that thrills me with wonder,it is the stillness that fills me with peace.-Robert Service-" . .
