    Very cool historical camp from the Guilded Age that is still in operation. A little out of the way (4.5 mile dirt road to get to the site), but worth the trip. The tour was VERY thorough - some might say too thorough. Our guide was really knowledgeable, and those who love the history of the period the place was built would eat it up. I'm a little less enthusiastic about the old age of the old robber barons, so could have done with a little less detail. Still, a very cool place to visit and a really well-preserved, interesting piece of history.
