Steve's topic: Everett and Monte Cristo Railway
The 1890s boom town of Everett and the ghost town of Monte Cristo in the Cascade Mountains are closely related. Both were largely financed by the Rockefeller Syndicate. See how the railroad joined them by taking a virtual rail journey using early and recent photographs. Monte Cristo is now an isolated ghost town.
Steve's Bio:
Steve has been hiking in the Cascades for several decades. He became fascinated with the Monte Cristo story, and has explored much of the railroad route, mines, abandoned trails, and summits. He is very involved with Everett history groups as well.
