Impossible Beyond This Point, True Adventures Creating a Self-Sufficient Life in the Wilderness by Virgil Marcella and Joel Horn

$21.95

relates the true story of a couple with three young boys who set up a home in the rugged Trinity Alps Wilderness area, far away from any modern conveniences, beginning in 1967. They came from the Sylmar area of southern Californa and located themselves on a mining claim along the North Fork of the Trinity River. They built their life there, often overcoming great odds, including having all their winter supplies one year destroyed by a bear. Virgil obtained a teaching certificate for teaching two terms at another location in Trinity County, and then taught his three sons at home for the rest of their school years. The family cultivated a large vegetable garden, mined placer gold, and sold unique jewelry created from their gold. In the mid-1990s, they successfully patented their mining claim. 2014. Paperback, 371 pages.
