This is heart of gold rush, and people made their best to keep this 125 years old colorful place in original condition. Cabaret, bars, hotels, and original wheel ship on the river.
We took a tour on functioning family owned gold mine. Our guide was a grandson of the initial enterprisers. Same family ran a tour business to the mine as well. I asked him what actually makes money, gold mining or tourism, and he said that they mine both – tourists and gold, and parts are competitive. Galina was taking her chances, and I sticked to pictures.
