Climate Change

[hvacker]

I watched a Gold Fever show today and Tom and his son were up where the glaciers have receded. I missed the beginning but assume it was AK. They were on virgin ground and hit some huge nuggets.
Too bad it's a bit of a trip from NM.

As in "need a change in climate" it means you travel to someplace new...

Last I checked the glaciers have been receding since the ICE AGE!

Ya, just not quite this fast. Said the ground they were detecting was under glacier until recently.
Anyway I'd ike to try it.

I'm with you. Now that the glacier has moved, it opens ground that's been covered for at least 10,000 years in some cases. The ground can't get much more virgin than that!

All the best,

You too Lanny. It's cool that you're a whole lot closed than I am. Well maybe chase what ever is in one's back yard.
Good hunting. BTW I heard the glaciers left AB in fairly good shape. Y'all deserve it.
If if I was a tad bit younger the new gold rush would have a lot of appeal. I almost got on that train in the 70's.
But it was about OIL.
Gold's a lot more pretty.

Very true that gold is prettier, but oil sure has made a ton of people wealthy and will continue to do so I'm sure. An oil gold rush: I'd never thought of it that way before, but it sure did make Alberta boom!

We do have a lot of beautiful mountains, but the glaciers did grind some of them down; however, I'm glad they left what they did.

As for the glaciers, they ground our gold into flour, and that's why I chase the gold next door in British Columbia, in Idaho, or in Montana. I love nuggets even though the flour gold is pretty, I'll take nuggets over flour gold any day.

Who knows, someday I may get back to Alaska to give that another whirl. It's a magnificently beautiful place that's for sure. As for you in New Mexico, you get to chase the gold while the Great White North has me frozen out! Lucky!!

All the best,

Lanny

I saw the Gold Fever show too, I bet a lot of armchair prospectors were struck with the fever after that show.
