There's gold in them thar hills

Sunset over Tranquille Farms,

Kamloops, B.C.

 

As I was trying to decide on a title for this photo, a phrase popped into my head. "There's gold in them thar hills" (which, in my head, was said in a country twang) seemed perfect.

 

I thought it must have been said in some old classic movie about the California gold rush but I looked it up to be certain. The google search was pretty inconclusive. There were several stories about the derivation of the phrase. So, I'm sorry if you've never heard the phrase before but... doesn't it seem perfect anyway? :-)
