In 1911, prospectors discovered a 1.5 ton quartz boulder
containing gold on the lagoon shores. This
touched off a mini-gold rush with prospectors.
One hundred and fifty prospectors
living in 21 tents inhabited Golden to mine, three years later they left for more
lucrative prospects.
We took our dinghy to shore to go for a walk, we were gifted with a rare view of a Sitka Black Tailed deer posing for us on a mound in the peatland bog surrounded by hemlock copses. The deer was unabashedly not spooked by our presence. We were able to walk towards the deer and he didn’t run off. I was certain there must be a bear lurking somewhere nearby to explain why the deer did not bolt on our approach.
