Our Pat's Hideaway is located in the Port Wine gold district, which lies about 10 miles northwest of Downieville.

Geology: The Port Wine channel, a major branch of the La Porte channel, extends southwest through this area. It is roughly parallel to the La Porte channel for some miles and joins it at Scales. The channel is well-defined and several hundred feet wide. The gravels are quartz-rich and in places are covered by "pipe" clay and andesite. Bedrock is slate, quartzite, amphibolite, and greenstone.
