Goldrush comes to Cromwell
Taking a side trip to Cromwell to checkout a Gold Rush Trail. Another fascinating trail and the tunnels that they dug must have taken forever. We were able to get into most of the tunnels and they ranged from 50-100 feet back depending on the tunnel. I think Phil wants to be a Gold miner so he can play in the tunnels everyday, They made for some pretty cool pictures. 
There ware parts of an old homestead still there and an orchard that was planted in 1906. The fruit wasn’t quite ripe yet. Venturing down off the hill was plenty of trail races where they used to run water thru to wash out the gold. Water was a hot commodity and was sold to each claim site. There was even remnants of where the blacksmith used to have his shop and caves where the workers used to live.
