Ah yes Hydro Mining at it's finest in California destroyed our river systems all the way to the San Francisco Bay hundreds of miles away. So glad they banned it, too bad it wasn't soon enough, since species like the Green Sturgeon are now all but gone. Plus they destroyed mountains with their hydro mining systems.Not to mention the silting in of the major rivers and San Francisco Bay.
We were at the Empire Mine outside Grass Valley over Presidents Day, doing a gold mining tour throughout the Sierra's.
