What's the story of Sid's Grave? I couldn't find any history on it.

From the RTF website:
Syd's Grave: located at the base of Cadillac Hill, with some other *mock* graves that you might find. Originally named for Syd Mainwaring. According to the Book written by Peg Presba on "Jeepers Jamboree, The first 40 Years", Syd Mainwaring passed away in 1975. It was a solemn crowd who stood watching as the helicopter took off to scatter his ashes over the Rubicon Trail on July 22nd. 1975. The grave stone reads "A man to match our mountains", that's how everyone felt about him.
I don't know anything about a mineshaft. But I heard about a tunnel from Buck Island Lake to Loon Lake. But we didn't really have time to do much exploring.
