This is another Gold Country geocache site from Book 1 with a wonderful article researched and written by Kathy Paulos, Ashcroft Museum Curator. She tells of a failed attempt to extract large amounts of soda by the British Columbia Chemical Company and after spending $50,000.00 constructing and running an onsite processing plant in 1929 it was abandoned in 1930. The photos show what remains to this day including the frail legs of a huge water supply tank. The tank which was probably wood stave disappeared long ago along with the processing house leaving only remnants of it’s past glory.
The sunset photos were shot just over the hill at Goodenough Lake which is listed in the Angler’s Atlas but judging by the brackish looking water I don’t believe too many anglers would fish it although I’m no fishing expert. I hope you enjoy the photos and be sure to check out Kathy’s story and many others in the Gold Country Geocache Guide:
