Why is there a statue of a gold-panning miner here?

"In 1897, gold was discovered in the mountains nearby and Sumas quickly grew to more than 2,000 residents as gold miners and mining suppliers moved in. After the gold rush subsided and trees were cleared, the town began to shrink and businesses shifted to support the growing farming industry surrounding the town. Dairy farms sprouted in the valley and still play an important role in the area's economy. The farmers, many of Dutch origin, and other area towns further tamed the flood prone valley with a series of dikes and channels. This opened the valley to an abundance of dairy and crop farming. Today, Sumas hosts several forest products businesses as well as businesses supporting farms in the surrounding area."

- Wikipedia

So there you go, the sleepy little border-burg of Sumas WA has a "rich" history represented by this fun statue located at a small but often busy business.

There is no need to park in the parking lot of this business to complete the virtual, so please respect the parking needs of their patrons (of which I am often one). Parking nearby and a short walk or roll to these coordinates on the public sidewalk will give you what you need to compelte this virtual cache.

Once you are here, you'll need the code word to complete this virtual.

 

At the bottom of the sign are three words in a URL. Type in the last of those three words as the log password to claim your virtual cache find!

 

Most of all, cache safely, and cache often!
