The Gold Springs Mill before it was destroyed
Another view of the once great Mill
This is how the Gold Springs Mill appeared when we first discovered it. The pictures below show how it appears today. Many years ago when the mill was still standing, one of our trip members (Cat) inquired about purchasing the mill and property. She discovered the cost of liability insurance was excessive and never bought the property. Apparently, the present owner (Mike Reynolds) decided the best way to limit liability was to tear down the mill and post the property. The many piles of wood remaining in the area are now more dangerous than the once standing mill building. It is sad that this piece of history had to fall into the hands of someone who didn't appreciate it. We have been hunting ghost towns since 1972 and never had any desire to shoot a sign full of holes until we discovered the mill ruins and the sign pictured below. We did NOT shoot it.
