Description
This photo of local hermit, Carl Shilling, was taken between 1970 and 1977. Shilling was a German immigrant who made his living panning for gold and doing odd jobs for local people. He immigrated to the United States during WWII, and was very suspicious of people. He hid most of his gold so that no one would steal it.
