Escape from Fire Mountain – 12-13 Jul 10 Waking up in our tent to a cloudy dawn on the Coast Mountains south of Pemberton, Kelly and I had no idea of the day that would confront us. We were nestled in a snow hollow among conifers on the south slope of Fire Mountain at around 5000 feet. Disturbingly, we discovered we were also bridging a small stream that trickled under our base emitting a curiously soothing burble. Around us was the call of the warblers that are up at this altitude for the abundant insect life. Climbing back into the cab, I gave Stuart my full details for the billing and he responded that I should phone Payless in the morning (it was already morning) to find out the total once he had reported back in. [/img] Search for Slumach’s Lost Gold Mine – Part 1 The Legend. There are many legends on the West Coast of lost treasure, mines, and caches of precious metal.
They are entertaining and spark our adult imagination the same way fantasy novels did when we were kids. I have to admit that I am fascinated with theses stories and the lure of stumbling upon a huge reserve of gold is hard to ignore. The closer to home the legends are the more tantalizing they become. One pervasive legend is the legend of Slumach’s lost gold mine. I have been part of two expeditions to find this mine in 2012 and 2014. On the West coast this legend is well known. The legend states that in the late 1800s a Coquitlam native named Slumach would occasionally come into New Westminster with a bag full of gold nuggets.
There are all sorts of ideas about the facts surrounding Slumach’s trial, his life and so on. There are other characters in the ongoing story that hold much more compelling evidence. Not much else is known about Jackson. Check out part two here: Part 2: Expeditions. West Coast Placer. There are many legends on the West Coast of lost treasure, mines, and caches of precious metal.
