A Journal is all about the journey, so if you start it now, we
can all follow your journey (through your posts), and then (in a
sense) get to be there when you hit that bonanza...

So tell it brother! (inquiring minds wanna know)

we broke down yesterday on the way back from our dig, the next couple days its going to be 115 for like 6 hours before it breaks !
so we got lucky murphy was looking out for us this time, by us havin a break down we get to miss out on our first real heat.

still got to run the mill no rest for the hardrock crew once its mined its gotta be milled,
cant decide whats harder the diggin or the millin, i think the worst is drivin that dadgum ford out n back 3 hours a day no AC.

mnt is gettin might bit warm these days, beees not so bad yet.

anyways i got some time to get the storys n stuff started while i watch the mill go round n round out my window from my desk, as i sit in front of the cooler, 115 thats hot !!!!

Atta boy GT! The first in hopefully a series of hard rock mining stories from you! Don't forget the occasional pic!

BTW...it's Sunny and 65 here if you wanna swing by and give me some pointers.

I would volunteer some stories but it seems that all of them that come to mind would violate TNet's censurship policy. So instead, I recommend reading Twains Roughing It.

GT, those are some deadly temperatures you are talking about! Be careful out there!! My second and last time living in Phoenix AZ it hit 120 F in town and I thought that was bad, I'm a wimp................63bkpkr

Well Dadgumitt,
I cant seem to get anything together to even talk about,
just the same ole desert stuff, same district, same diggin, crushin n millin in the heat, no critters or plant life here, no bonanza, no real lead to follow or to speak of, I will just forget the journal for now maybe we hit something down the road spark up the story tellins.
If we can just hit us a small bonanza, buys us some Boots , fancy tools and a payin hardrock mine, then we would have somethin to talk about, Lords knows it aint from lack of tryin.
Till then one can find us at the Claudette mill camp or out in the bushs somewhere in the Dale.

GT, you've got it all organized - you plan to keep on trying and that is what is needed. Best of success...............63bkpkr

note: at least you are out in the 'country' right now, my choices have taken me away from the outdoors with the hope that in a few years I can return to the outdoors for good. Best of luck to us all!
