So I had a couple days off and thought it a good time to go visit my mom and sister up in El Dorado and rescue. I sent Jacob " Goldwasher" a pm and asked about the area. He said he was in the middle of moving his store in Colma , but give a call when in town. He and Goldmojo, said with water levels what they are the bear was about it for now. So I loaded up my wife and mom( 75) and stopped by his store to pick up a sluice. Then we headed out to the bear.
When I pulled in , I met up with the park ranger. very nice guy and we talked for a bit. he said the SO was doing a great job of looking around the area. Now coming out of a Bay area family , I am the redneck of them all. I felt plenty safe at the area. Yes the campground had some questionable types living there. But hell , so does every place on earth. Would I camp there ? Maybe. Would I take a family there for the day? Absolutely! Common sense goes a long way.
Met a couple nice diggers and the helped my mom and wife while I dug in the rocks.
Long and short..... Go have fun at the Bear. .
We got a half gram of gold but a million dollars of fun.
