Brooklyn Mine (Boulder Creek District)
I couldn’t find much history on this spot, only that it was worked on in 1907 for silver, lead, zinc, and some copper. Reportedly, it was an underground hydraulic operation to wash ore out of the vein. That must have been something to see.
Paiute Cave Pictographs
A set of Virgin Anasazi pictographs is inside a collapsed lava tube in the Arizona Strip. They believed that caves were the entrance to the spirit world. This is a sacred place.
The pictographs are protected from the elements by the cave ceiling, and as such, they are particularly vibrant.
Stanley Mine
Keystone Signpost Petroglyphs

In June 2018, we visited a remote log cabin high in the mountains. The cabin is built from amazingly long logs, but most surrounding trees aren’t that tall. So, those logs must have come from somewhere else, but where?
Ancient Tomales Wall
Out on Tomales Point, a peninsula that juts out into the Pacific Ocean in Point Reyes, is an ancient Native American rock alignment. The Coastal Miwok tribe, whose ancestors are believed to have built it, call it the “Spirit Jumping Off Rocks.”
