I really wanted the name Clean Shaven Prospector, but that would have been WAYYYYYYYY too much to type every time I went to log in, so I went with OreCart instead. It has a nice ring to it, like a pickaxe striking quartz.
My wife and I love geology, and live in a unique location in Maine that has some unique bedrock, as the Maine Geologists say. Regardless, we want to instill in our (4) daughters, ages 5, 12,13, and 14 a love of the outdoors. We often get outside, even in the winter, go for geostone hunts (even though they are not native to Maine and we "salt the mine" so to speak so that they are sure to find a treasure!
My wife, she is an "import", all the way from New Hampshire! (LOL) She lived next door to an old Pyrite Mine, and being the Granite State, a lot of granite mines too. Her father pans for placer gold, and has found his share. Myself, I have deep roots here as far as farming goes, and am chasing after some lode gold from some placer found gold, up a mountainside we own..
Where that takes us...who knows, but we get outside, and that is always a win.
