Continued................(April, 2011)

The RV is parked about one hundred feet from the old Octave Cemetery.  There are only rocks on some graves, no markers, no names.  Some people in the area gathered and put in some metal crosses and more stones to mark the graves, probably within the last five years.  I've taken some night pictures in which I can can see some ghostly looking figures; but no one else can see them.  Most of the people buried here were probably gold miners from the 1849's.  This was a thriving tent city back then, all about gold mining.  By the way, they only kept the really  huge nuggets or chunks of gold because it wasn't worth very much back then.  They discarded the dust and small flakes and nuggets.  Therefore, theere's still gold in them that hills.  Lot of history in this area,  Lot of lore still being told.
