One of my favorite Indian love stories is of a beautiful Indian maiden, who it is told was pushed off the cliff to her death by a jealous lover. If one listens very carefully on a misty morning, her piercing scream may still be heard. This peak has been mined for gold and as a boy, I can remember, Mr. Stran and his burro going slowly up to his mine just below the peak. I have seen very nice gold specimens that were recovered from his mine. Today, Dave O'Donald has re-opened the mine with great expectation.
