After Sumpter we went to a couple of the Lost Dutchman Mining Association owned claims in the area. I was rather loving the first spot til I found a snake right under a rock I picked up to move! That would be right where the gold pans are sitting in the rocks...notice the proximity to my chair!! :o I moved! ;) We decided to go to the second claim only to find out that the stream had dried up to a trickle and I wonder why ??? LOOK at that temp!! sheeesh! time to head back to the A/C!! and a late lunch! :D :D

Nice! Think I'd be sitting in the creek with those temps.

I was afraid to sit all the way down in that creek....afraid the snake would poke back out and I would not be able to get up and run fast enough! lol I did however keep my feet in there and splash myself quite a bit...also had a huge umbrella in the pickup and managed to get that all set up as well. :D :D I was the birthday princess! :D rofl

Super Nice Pics, Enjoyed the trip!

Was the snake a rattler? I know that there is a lot of rattle snakes on over in the snake river area.

It's coloring made me think it was a rattler but I did not see or hear any rattles and was quite content to run and never ever know! ;)

There is definitely a wide variety of scenic areas to visit! If you ever get out this direction make sure and let us know so we can visit! :D Maybe even pan for some gold! :D :D

I wish you was there too! especially when I saw the snake....I screamed snake and jumped back and David didn't seem fazed at all...after a couple of mins of me yellin bout the snake he is like " you need me to come over there?" DUH! You got the shovel ya goof! lol I think he thought I would get rid of the snake with my lil plastic scoop and keep feeding the sluice! ;)
