I shouldn't have used the term "lodgepole" because that's a pine ...no pine
around here, but plenty of skinny fir, hem, and spruce up in them thar
hills. The miner's cabins that I spoke of were off roads FR-2209 and
FR-2207, which in turn are off the road that goes to the Opal Creek area
(forgot the name ...but near Mehama), which turns off of Hwy 22 east of
Salem. I live in Albany but grew up around here and those woods up there
are my old stompin' grounds. I've worn out a lot of springs driving up and
down those roads...

Lets see if my detective skills are keen enough to figure out where you
live.

Lodgepole........ that rules out everything north of Grants Pass and
west of the Cascades.

when a few people were wishing they could find gold here.

Gold country............. maybe NE Oregon area Baker, La Grande,
Wallowa, Halfway?? Or maybe Soputhern Oregon area Gold Hill,
Jacksonville, Ashland, Rougue River?

So Brian D, hows my detective skills?
Am I sorta close on any of my guesses?
