Just got back home from my trip to Grants Pass. Spent 9 days there just havin fun. Lots of family came for the yearly trip for the Jet Boat rides. We had family from Wa. Az. Kali. Ore. Minn. Had a great time and even found time to get a little prospecting in. Took a herd of them to a spot on Grave Creek and spent some time playing in the creek. Surprised the homeowner with Garrett Panning kit we brought for them. Kids from 8 to 16 learning to Pan for the first time is a handful of fun. Sent Pans home with the kids that wanted them. Even got some gold to send home with them, got a bucket of dirt the I classified to1/4 to pan at camp. Each got a vial with a few specks in it. Got to go back by myself Sunday and spend a few hours getting some color for myself and sluiced a couple of 3 gal buckets of dirt I was able to get in the time I had. Yup, got a little gold for myself! Not much but didn't get skunked. Best part is 2 of the 11 year old boys could not stop asking questions about prospecting. They had a ball and their Dads with have their handsful taking them to the not far Motherload country to play more. I envy living as close as they do. They live in the Bay Area and go to the Mountains camping often but never thought to take a pan with them. That has changed for them now. My Nephew promised to take them to Auburn Rec Area or someplace to learn more. Life is GOOD!!!
