1. Closest I could find (on Garmin's Topo Canada) was Elmo Creek, but it has only two letters before the 'mo'. Some interesting names there... Hooker Lake, Bootleg Mountain, Hellroaring Creek... 2. apparently there are four mining sites: Quartz Creek, the original Hoffman mine, the Jim Nail Placer Mine, and Parker Schnabel's grandfather's property at Big Nugget Mine. newsonlinefree12.blogspot.com/2012/01/gold-rush-alaska-season-2episode-13.html3. WAG: over 20 years WAG = Wild Assed Guess

Perhaps if we go another round, we should PM you the answers. I have an unfair advantage with first crack at the questions as I live on the East coast and get up at 4:30 AM.

I figure if we PM answers, curling guy could give us a point for each correct answer, rather than 1 point to the first with a correct answer to the question. You'd be ahead with yesterday's questions :-)

Found it! I had a brain fart. It's a ghost town, that's why it's not on my maps. Alamo - Six kilometres west of the Retallack site on Hwy. 31A travelers will come up to the road to Sandon. At this intersection is the former town site of Three Forks. Nothing remains. Also at the intersection, there is a sign marking the Galena Trail. Visitors can walk five kilometres west on the trail to the mine and town sites of Alamo. The ruins are spectacular. www.ghosttownpix.com/bc/maps.htmlwww.ghosttownpix.com/bc/threeforks.html

Hey folks, Alamo is wrong, and I've run out of resources to check. Do either of you have a clue?
