Weather drove me out!

The damn snow drove me out of the hills. I was in the middle of a good run! We should start classifying mother nature as a damn terrorist!!

Whether you pay attention to the weather or not depends on how long you are going to be alive especially when it comes to cold and snow. Your location will still be there but I will admit it is discouraging to have Ma Nature kick you out of the hills, been there done that and I got out while I still could!!................63bkpkr

I could have survived, but with my remaining supplies, i would have ended up having to walk out of the canyon. I was fooled by the nice weather, and didnt have my normal month worth of supply. I suppose if it got bad i could have eatin Orijen dog food.

My location is claimed, so it better still be there! Lol!

Auto's too! The other day we were in the wife's Explorer and we were an hour into the trip and about 15 minutes to the site when the O/D light started flashing. We were very remote and the manual (and wife) said to play it safe and return home, which we did. Checked it out on the net, started it up, no lite, drove it 20 miles, no return of the light...no sign of ANY problem. All that and $4.25 per gallon of gas.

That 2ft of snow was a killer wasn't it pm? We are suppose to get another foot this week I was told. On the bright side I should have water on my dry claim for awhile this spring.

Hey B H..... is it over now? We have had more damn snow in the last 2 weeks than we had all winter. Needed the moisture, but this is really cutting into my schedule. I was forced to sell an ounce of real money for paper currency this week. Really chaps my a**. Lol.

B H Prospector, nothing like looking on the bright side of things, might just as well make the best of what actually is in front of you as at least you can do that. The flip of that will only get ya down.

pmgsourdough, good you had the gold stashed and were able to sell it at a reasonable price.

In my opinion, $1115.00 was not a reasonable price. No fault of my dealer though. When i sold, spot was sitting at $1394.00.

Supose to be in low 60's this weekend. Hoping to get some diggin in. Wife said ok since I haven't been out this year so far. She kept me busy remodeling. Part of marriage compromise I guess. She is a great wife and mining partner.Sent you a pm sourdough about claims.

pmg,
Sounds like you need to find another dealer or two so You retain more of the value of what you've worked so hard to find...................63bkpkr

B H P - I enjoy the kind way you speak about your wife, good partners are worth keeping and it takes compromise to do that. And she prospects with you, Man you have a Good Wife!

Keep doin what ya been doin as I'd say it works for the both of ya..............63bkpkr

Thanks 63, she is wonderful and a great cook to boot! We do everything together. I swear she can smell gold as every place she sticks a shovel out comes gold.
