You're looking in the wrong place." That's what Billy Barker's fellow miners told him as he sank a shaft fifty-two feet into ground everyone else had already given up on. On August 17, 1862, he struck the richest lead of the Cariboo Gold Rush — and built a town that, within three years, was being called the largest city west of the Rockies and north of San Francisco. But the real story starts three years earlier, with a Free Miner's Certificate issued in a town this show already knows well: Lillooet. This episode opens a new stretch of Canuckly in the Cariboo Land District, tracing the road, the judge, and the fortune that connects two of British Columbia's most legendary boomtowns.
