Beautiful Shot RGINN,Right Diggit, lots of active mining claims in this area so don't even pan. I got a bunch more pics, but I'm havin a hell of a time figurin out how to post them. This one came from my third try. I suppose I can read instructions if I had any, but I really got better things to do with my time. I think about it and come back later today and look it over and try to figure it out. If not, well adios, y'all like to look at pics of Colorado, buy a camera, come up here and take em yourselves. That yellow 'auto-saved' thing that keeps flashin is aggravating too.
You're so dang funny, RGINN---I knew you would figure out how to post pictures eventually and I am glad you did! Always enjoy those beautiful Colorado pictures .Well I'll be damned, there they are. This is way too difficult for the average person to post pics on, so I guess I'm above average. We'll probably lose a lot of folks cause this process is not 'user friendly' for the lowest common denominator, like me. But we'll see. Anyway. I went out to French Gulch east of Breckenridge today, which involved way less time than tryin to post these pics, as it turned out. Lots of money came out of the ground out there. Placer, hardrock, and dredge mining. The Extenuate (sometimes spelled 'X10U8') started up in 1880 and ran until 1970. The Country Boy mine is still in business, but I think they make most of their money from givin tours to tourists and letting them pan for gold. DO NOT come in here and detect or pan, as all the claims are active. But lookin is ok.
