Yreka, GPS 41d 44.0' 122d 36.9' was first called Thompson's Dry Diggin's after Abe Thompson's Gold Find in the spring of 1851. Then it was Shasta Butte City, then "Yreka" after the Shasta Indian word for Mt. Shasta... I-eka or Wy-eka meaning "White Mountain." |
| Hawkinsville, CA MM 50.5 Hwy 263. GPS 41d 45.5' 122d 36.9' two miles north of Yreka, CA. In 1851, after gold was discovered by Abraham Thompson in what was to become Yreka, gold miners lined the creek to and beyond the present day Hawkinsville. The first town of gold miners was called Frogtown. First being closer to Yreka Creek, when gold was discovered up the streams to the west in 1852, the town was moved during a few years to its present location and was named after a prominent citizen Jacob Hawkins. This is the road to Humbug, CA another gold mining town; that was called Humbug because some miners didn't find any gold... A humbug! Joe Lane Bar. MM 51.5 Hwy 263. This is the junction with Bike Route #3 Shasta River Canyon, and a great view of Shasta Valley and Mt. Shasta (especially for sunrises) and just east , at the confluence of Yreka Creek and Shasta River is the gravel bar named for the 1st territorial Governor of Oregon. Coyote Holes (gold ore prospectors' holes) and mines like the Gold Leaf, the Gold Bar, the Union, and the High Grade Mines show evidence of Siskiyou County's past. See the "Million Dollar Exhibit" of Gold Nugget display at the Siskiyou County Courthouse, Yreka. |
| 1841, Lt. George Emmons of Wilkes Expedition passed Yreka. In a planned exploration of the northwest, Com. Charles Wilkes ordered a detachment of soldiers under Lt. Emmons to explore the old "Trappers Trail" between the Columbia River and San Francisco. They passed this country via the Siskiyou Summit, Cottonwood Creek, and Willow Creek and on past the west side of Mt. Shasta. They researched the land here, including climbing some of the mountains! They reported the weather being hot at 100 degrees on September 30, 1841. |
| Honolulu School! MM 93 GPS 41d 52.0 122d 44.3'. The Kanaka people of Hawaii came here for gold about 1870; the name of the school. Kanaka Mary wore a necklace made of gold nuggets. President Herbert Hoover came here for Steelhead fishing, visited the Honolulu school, and began annually donating money to this school for lunches in the early part of the 20th century. This was also called Joe Freshour's Ferry for years. It was the last piece of wagon road where supplies were switched to pack-mules to go on to Oak Bar, Hamburg, Seiad Valley, and Happy Camp. The road from Freshour's Place was built to Oak Bar in 1900. Cinnabar, ore of Mercury, was also mined up Empire Creek to the north as well as gold and silver. Dinosaur bones were found in these mines too! Chinese people had several mines here. Young school children (and Mail Carriers) crossed the river on a "Go-Devil" (a little cart suspended on a cable over the river) in times of high water. Get on it and "Go like the devil!" |

fishing, hiking, and mineral spring baths.
