Sweet! Sounds like a great day indeed! Welcome to Oregon and oh so very glad that you got to get out and bring back some memories and even get your wife involved! Sounds like she is gonna be good at it!

Glad to hear it! There is still good color down there even though it's been dredged to death. Every now and then someone hits a good pocket that hasn't been hit before. Panning the banks can show real good color in spots, also. Try across the way below the bridge at Myrtle creek. Thats where the old dump was, and it wasn't hit back in the old days. Still nice cracks loaded with nuggies and flakes there, if you find the right one.
