The Buffalo Hump

Picture
Deep in the Gospel Wilderness of Central Idaho lies an area that has been mined for years. It used to be a prolific gold producer. These days, it's left more to recreational mining, or was before gold prices started climbing above $1,200 an ounce.

There are still those who like to try their luck and do it for a hobby, never really expecting to strike it big, but it wouldn't hurt their feelings if they did before the snow set in. A little color goes a long way to motivate another attempt after the melt. The winters are hard and claims off of wilderness land are hard to come by. There are only a few over four hundred in that part of the country to start with.

If you ever get out that way, it is definitely a wonderous addition to your bucket list. Watching elk or a moose lounging around on one of the forks of the Clearwater river is something you'll never forget. It's got all the perks, but you have to remember it's wild. It is the critters' land and they get touchy at times - especially the bears and occasional cougar. Keep that in mind and you will do just fine. It's worth the adventure!

Reading my e-book "Buffalo Hump" from www.champagnebooks.com or Amazon/Kindle under fiction/suspence/thrillers will help describe the area even more. If you like the woods and you like to read about the Nez Perce kicking some serious blue jeans, this might fill your bill. Check my home page on this site to get your copy on any of the major e-readers today.

    My paternal Great Grandfather was full-blood Cherokee and his wife was full-blood Kickapoo. The rest of me is a Euro-mix.

    I retired from the Fire Department in 2005 and have been writing since 2009. I have four grown kids and a Grandson, plus twin Granddaughters born in January of 2014, which qualifies me for treatment of PTSD, I'm sure!
