Where Are We—Amedee Mountains

Amedee Mountains, as seen from the former town of Amedee, January 26, 2020

Amedee Mountains has a way of blending with the Skedaddle Mountains. Its best known feature is the archaeological site known as Tommy Tucker Cave. In 1907 gold was discovered on the mountain, causing a miniature gold rush where more prospectors could be found on the mountain, then gold. Whatever the case may be, there was enough activity to form the Hot Springs Mining District.
