Over the great divide

[Oakview2]

Family Hunter is reporting that Eagle from Coarsegold and longtime dredger and propector in the Briceburg and Southern Motherload has passed away. He was writing a book of his adventures and of the great treasure stories of the region, and the colorful people he met from a bygone era. My heart is broken, but I pray for his safe journey, and I will always remember him. RIP Eagle

WOW wasn't expecting this. RIP as a good man and a great miner. He visited my claims upriver many a time and always a great jabberjaw about the river and days of old there. Respect-John

The Eagle has Landed in heaven and I'm sure he's a picken at those gates of gold.

It's always sad to hear of the passing of a fellow miner that had the respect of so many of his brother miners. May he rest in peace in that great mother lode in the sky.
