Gold Bridge, BC floatbase for FS2002

History:
The area known as the Bridge River Valley is full of British Columbia history. It has railways, ghost towns, flooded valleys, old mines and trails. Since the year 1859, when gold was first discovered on Bridge River, this region has been home to miners and their families. The big gold rush began in the 1930's at the Bralorne-Pioneer Mine near Gold Bridge. It was the richest gold claim in Canada, producing more than $145 million in gold. It closed in 1970. Visit the past as you wander the old mine ruins and ghost towns. The scenery is dramatic with rugged mountains, intricate river canyons, rushing streams and deep blue lakes.

For this scenery, i had only my memory (which was faded at best) and the picture included to work with, so there are certainly some inaccuracies. It's my first scenery with transparencies, for the expertise i'd like to thank Paul Harmon (H_PAUL). I'ts also my first time including a VOR. For that id like to thank Dave Hoitt (H_DGHoitt) for his tutorials, for without which i couldn't nav my way out of my back yard.
