I was on the paddle board today (I know big surprise) exploring where the old town of Mormon Island was flooded when Folsom Lake was built. I saw 4 cement pillars on this island so I went to check it out. It turns out they were sitting on top of an old abandoned gold mine. This mine is normally under 100' of water. You can tell the area has been mined because of all the tailing piles.
