Day on the North Fork - Euchre Bar Trail

[AU_Solitude]

So, took a break from the daily grind and ran up to the hills today. Hit up the Euchre bar trail. Needless to say, the river was gorged - forgot about snow melt. Moved some big boulders worked the gravels underneath for four hours and didn't even pull anything but a few colors.

I panned four five gallon buckets worth of material - couldn't use the MacKirk because of the river flow.

Anyone have advice of where, what I need to do different so I don't get skunked again next time? Anyone have luck in this area?

From the NFA. Piles of cobble caught my attention, then started noticing crevices.View attachment 1206372View attachment 1206373

HAM Nice take of gold. Did you happen to work that little gully going back in under that suspended boulder? Might be some nice surprises way back in there.

Plenty of gold at Euchre bar. Bad area for gold? Tons of mining went on right there. I guess the old timers didnt know what they were doing? Just got some gold there myself
