[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1651277, member: 498"] This old root cellar is less than a 100 feet from our house. I would be relatively certain it was built there back before the irrigation ditch in front of it was dug. That ditch was dug around 1900-1910 =/-? The original portions of our house were built somewhere in that same time frame. I wish I knew who and what were here back before that. The irrigation rights on this place date back to 1873. There was a gold rush in this area that started in 1863. Between then and 1920 when most of the mines shut down there was a lot of gold taken out of the area. The mining stops at the upstream property line of this place. Is that because they were making more money raising food to feed the miners? Of course all the old timers who knew what was happening back then are gone now. [ATTACH type="full"]940[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
