This last Sunday I was up and at em around 5 am and began my usual ritual of preparing my prospecting trip for the day. I'm a weekend warrior that has been hit hard with the fever, I go pretty much every weekend..sometimes I get out several times in a week if I'm lucky.
Welp, I was pretty much done getting ready...just had to do my last inventory of my tools before I hit the road. Just then, I hear the familiar pitter-patter of my 3 year old's feet running out of the bedroom. He asks me "what are you doing dad?" and I say "going to find the gold". He replies with "that makes me sad". I think "DAMN!! I've been waiting all week for this!"
LOL long story short, I stayed home as hard as it was. No matter how much I love prospecting, there are things that come first. When you have the fever, it's hard to think rationally sometimes. I don't know what it is but something inside of me wants more, and more, and more gold! But looking back, I'm so glad that I spent the time with my kids. The gold might or might not be there later but I know for sure that these years with my children will never come again. Plus, soon enough I'll be able to bring him out there with me! HEAVY PANS.
