If you're in the Pacific Northwest, head out on the Olympic Penninsula to the Tubal Cain Silver Mine. Beautiful hiking and camping up there!!

Hey Nor Cal mining junkies! In doing research into my family history here in Oregon I came across one black sheep that headed south to seek his fortune. I found a reference to a La Follette claim and found the coordinates. Anybody poked around in this area? 39°09'53.6"N 120°33'29.7"W I'll continue to run it down and see if it is related to this lost relation. I'm pretty sure he ended up in LA in his later years and is buried there. He would have gone south sometime after 1871... Seems gold was in the blood of the clan in those early years. Great-great-great grandpa Jerome Bonaparte La Follette had a claim he sold in 1870 near Sweet Home, OR for $2000 in gold coin according to the Albany newspaper....
Fun stuff digging into the past. May be interested in hooking up and exploring next spring if anyone is game. Cheers!
