[h=3]Lot's of toys to look at, demonstrations of equipment and friendly people to meet, I even got a small vial with a little gold in it just for being one of the 1st 100 to go in.
Met Mike Pung, inventor of the gold cube and chatted a bit about beach sand, watched a lot of people panning at the trough and getting a little yellow, bought some more supplies to lose again this year and generally had a good time.

It's going on today 3/18 and tomorrow 3/19. Tickets are $10. at the door. Go if you can, it's a guaranteed good time.[/h]

I couldn't believe the price on those small trommel wash plants, LOL! It was neat to see the large specimens on display though. I saw a couple of things I'd like to ad to my kit.

I called it the Gold show of the Walking Dead. Lots of walkers with glazed eyes, not looking left or right. Attendance was low, probably due to GPAA being absent from Puyallup for the last two years. AU Grabber was there but I didn't see any other "TV celebs". It was hard to get people to stop at the booth but I met some nice folks and made a few bucks
