Have you ever wondered what sort of Sierra miners could extract gold from this hills? Heres a excitement fact: Their secret weapon appeared to be mercury (or quicksilver) which was mined out of regional Almaden Quicksilver County Meadow. Gold dissolves in mercury much in the same manner salt dissolves in drinking water, leaving behind relatively normal gold after heat used to boil away your mercury.
Although there may be a good chance no one is going to be striking it rich presently there on Saturday, April 14, its safe to mention that participants in your NORCAL AR & Walk Running Series Mercury Excavation Trail Run will become rewarded with some magnificent views by a rolling course with a good amount of downhill slopes after tackling some elevation at the beginning.
With three different distances out there, including 7k, 12k in addition to 18k loops, history buffs and weekend warriors alike will delight in steep hillsides, cool reforested land, open meadows and heavy valleys. Each route features clearly-marked driveways and walkways around remnants of 19th 100 years mining structures and through the most spectacular displays of spring wildflowers in your neighborhood.
