Voted 10/10 | Robert Lewis Stevenson was a Scottish novelist and poet famous for Treasure Island and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He and his wife, during their honeymoon, squatted on the side of Mt St Helena. They made the remains of the old Silverado mine site their home as they explored the area. Stevenson wrote The Silverado Squatters in 1883 documenting his adventures at the ghost mine. We found and entered this mine during our hike, it’s said this place inspired the “treasure grotto” in Treasure Island. This is a very interesting place with a rich history and unique natural wonder; it’s a fine example of California’s lesser known treasures. | |
