New Almaden Quicksilver County Park Association

On this morning’s quick Almaden Quicksilver hike up and down the Deep Gulch Trail (training for summer pack trips) I ran into a group from the New Almaden Quicksilver County Park Association. They were comparing old photographs of the English Camp area with the current landscape.

The old pictures were fascinating. Not only did they show some striking changes in the vegetation (now that it is no longer being used for mining operations) but there were a lot of structures on the hillside near English Camp.

You can find out more from the NAQCPA web site. (Well, actually you can’t. I just discovered that they apparently do not maintain the site. Instead, try a Google search on “New Almaden Mining Museum”. ;-)
