as i try to make plans for this comeing year,the weather is a big factor. last year it stopped me from going to many places,even my planB,planC, and my planD. now with the fuel prices soaring it may even get my planE! i may just have to work closer to home this summer!

I fully understand I have been off work for over a month due to a car accident (IE bank account getting empty) I am going to try some creeks that are within a hour of me.It is a long shot but gold was found in the mountains leading down to the creek I am going to try.I just enjoy the hunt the yellow stuff is just a bonus.I got lucky the last outing and did very well but the land owner now knows he has gold and dont know if I will be able to go back.
Happy Hunting

Wow! Just wow!

Congratulations OKbasspro. :hello2:

Man that's some good chunky gold you have in that pan. I would love to find some like that in my pan one day. If I saw that kind of gold in my pan I'd probably wet my pants. :laughing7:

I bet you can hardly sleep from the anticipation of getting back under that waterfall. I'd have to take a sleeping pill to sleep after finding that kind of gold.

Wife actually suggested going to K River campground tomorrow :) I'm guessing we'll stay the night so I might actually get some real time to pan and sluice. Gotta love a woman that puts up with and encourages our "fever" LOL

We just got back and I didn't get a speck of gold :) Was great to get away from everything for a while though. I'll see if I can get one of those days off. I only work 3 days a week but it's Sat, Sun and Mon so it's a bit difficult to get any weekend time off.
