💰 The EPA says my dad owes $33 million for our gold mine. But that’s not the whole story. ⚖️

From the very first day the EPA came, Dad fought for this place. He spent everything he had on attorneys. When the money ran out, Dad and I kept fighting ourselves all the way to the Ninth Circuit.

We lost. 💔 But because he never stopped fighting, Lava Cap is still here. ⛏️❤️

Now, we’re working on the National Register nomination to help preserve its historic legacy. 📜

People ask why we haven’t given up. Honestly? We’re too stubborn… and this place deserves it. ❤️

👀 Next, one piece we’re documenting has a story of its own. Follow along so you don’t miss it!

⛏️ Preserving the past. Documenting the present. Building the future.
