The Lost Cabin Mine (Trinity Alps)

Documented folklore from the Club 49 map, told straight and sourced.

The story

A classic Trinity County tale: a prospector wintered beside a fabulously rich pocket, came out with gold, and could never find his way back into the high country to relocate it. One of many lost-cabin stories of the northern mines.
