Hello everybody! Today we are hiking our way through a walking trail that winds through a scenic forest and passes through the ruins of the Pine Mountain gold mining station.

This site is a gold mine of information. It was commercially mined for gold off and on for over 100 years, making it one of the longest running mining operations in Georgia.

These explorers are ready to go! They are in search of a pot of gold.

It's a beautiful day for a hike! All that glitters is not gold.

We are starting at the Stockmar Stage.
